Description & Facts:
Zuerich International Airport, Switzerland: Z??rich Airport also called Kloten Airport, is located in Kloten, canton of Z??rich, Switzerland and managed by Unique Airport. It is Switzerland's largest international flight gateway and hub to Swiss International Air Lines. Skyguide is responsible for all Air Traffic Control for Z??rich Intl. In 2003, Z??rich International completed a major expansion project in which it built a new parking garage, a new midfield terminal, and an automated underground train to move passengers between the existing terminal complex and the new terminal. In November 2008, Unique Company announced a complete renovation and rebuild of the old fingerdock 'B' structure. The visitor terrace will be temporarily closed during construction, but airport officials announced that a terrace will be included in the new structure. Z??rich International lost traffic when Swissair shut down its operations. When Lufthansa took over its successor Swiss International Air Lines (SWISS), traffic grew again. Z??rich airport railway station (Z??rich Flughafen) is located underneath the terminal. There are trains to many parts of Switzerland; frequent S-Bahn services, plus direct InterRegio and InterCity services to Winterthur, Berne, Basel and Lucerne (German: Luzern). By changing trains at Z??rich Hauptbahnhof most other places in Switzerland can be reached in a few hours. Z??rich Airport handled 22.1 million passengers in 2008.
