Aircraft options and pricing

Zurich to Sion by class

On a 90 nm Alpine hop nothing above super-midsize buys any time advantage, and Sion caps its aircraft ceiling at super-midsize anyway. A Citation CJ3 or Phenom 300 covers the leg in about 35 minutes at the cheapest published tier, comfortably inside the 2,000 m paved runway and the field's 1,582 ft elevation limits. Sion is 45 minutes by road from Verbier; the alternative Geneva routing adds 2 hours of road transfer.

FAQ

Common questions on this route

Why fly into Sion for Verbier?
Sion is the closest business-aviation airport to Verbier at 45 minutes by road. Geneva adds 2 hours of road transfer, so Sion saves an hour and a half each way when the aircraft class fits.
How large a jet can land at Sion?
Super-midsize is the published ceiling: Challenger 350, Praetor 600 and Falcon 2000 variants operate routinely. Payload, weather and operator approval decide final suitability.
How long is the flight?
About 30 to 35 minutes on any qualifying class, over 167 km.
Can I depart or arrive at night?
Sion is listed as 24/7 but night and noise-sensitive movements must be pre-confirmed with the aerodrome authority; approvals are not automatic in the winter season.
What if my aircraft exceeds Sion's ceiling?
We route to Geneva instead and add the 2-hour road transfer. Heavy jets and ultra-long-range types cannot use Sion under any circumstances.
