Grenchen, a private aviation
gateway for business travel
The airport operates under VFR and IFR conditions with a 1,400-metre asphalt runway, comfortably accommodating light jets and turboprops — the aircraft categories most frequently chartered for intra-European Swiss industry trips. Operating hours run 06:00 to 22:00 local time, with customs available during those hours on advance notice, making early-morning arrivals for factory visits and same-day returns entirely practical. With around 15,800 annual movements, the ramp is never saturated, and block-in times are predictably short.
Beyond watchmaking, the Grenchen catchment area includes Solothurn's diplomatic and cantonal government community, Biel/Bienne's bilingual tech and medtech cluster, and straightforward road access to Interlaken and the Bernese Oberland for clients combining business with alpine leisure. The airport's central Swiss position also makes it a credible tech stop or positioning base for operators repositioning between western and eastern Switzerland without routing through the major hubs.

Ground Transfers and Logistics
Bern, Basel, and Solothurn are all within a 60-minute ground transfer, keeping Grenchen a credible tech stop or positioning base for operators repositioning between western and eastern Switzerland.
Seasonality and Pricing
Demand is corporate-led and comparatively steady year-round, tracking the watchmaking industry's supplier-visit and factory-audit calendar, with the Bernese Oberland adding an alpine-leisure lift.
CO₂ and Sustainable Aviation Fuel
Grenchen does not yet have a published route on this platform, but as an illustrative comparison: applying Flyius's standard light-jet emissions factor (2.4 kg CO₂/km) to the approximate 100 km straight-line distance to Zurich gives an indicative footprint of roughly 240 kg CO₂ for that class of leg.

We check the operator's air operator certificate (AOC) and that the proposed aircraft is listed on it.
