![]() In March 1943, the government of the canton of Zurich commissioned a study to identify possible locations for the construction of a major airport. Although Swissair was allowed to resume scheduled air traffic in September 1940, this remained on a modest scale during the war. In 1939, civil air traffic had to be suspended at the outbreak of the Second World War for military strategic reasons. The need for a dedicated commercial facility led to the search for a location at which to build a replacement airport. In the early years of aviation, the Dübendorf Air Base, located some 8 km (5.0 mi) to the Zurich Airport, also served as the city's commercial airfield. The first international flight from Switzerland landed on July 21, 1921. From 1919, the airport was home to Swissair's predecessor Ad Astra Aero, and from 1932 also to Swissair. In the Zurich area, mixed civil and military air traffic developed from 1909 onwards at Dübendorf airfield, northeast of the city. ![]() ![]() 8.2 Refuelling dispenser, Ramp Safety, Airport Authority and Follow Me. ![]()
