Charter a Private Jet to Buochs Airport

Buochs Airport is officially operated by the Swiss Air Force, although with its easy connections to nearby Lucerne, it is also a popular destination for clients of business flights. Its picturesque location in the heart of central Switzerland means that all major Swiss cities are within easy reach.

Buochs Airport History

The first military aircraft were stationed on a field near Buochs in 1928. The first asphalt runway of 600 metres was built in 1940 and a second runway of 900 metres was added in 1943. This was extended seven years later to 1,500 metres.

In 1964, a new control tower and night flight lighting were installed at Buochs Airport. The addition of new buildings and modernisations took place in the following decades, including an extension of the southern runway.

In 2004, Buochs Airport was converted into a "sleeping base" which means it can also be used as an air base in the event of a military operation. In the meantime, the airport is primarily used by private jets.
