Traffic capacity: - 4 years (2012−2015): 265,500 - Max. 10 years (2011): 279,000 - Demand forecast 2030: 346,000 Purpose of the installation, function in the network (existing situation): Switzerland's largest national airport, part of the national and international aviation system, together with Geneva and Basel- Mulhouse airports constitutes the central infrastructure of Swiss aviation. Homebase of Swiss, provides connections worldwide and to the European centres. Primarily serves scheduled and charter traffic, also available for commercial and non-commercial aviation. Arrangement with Germany: In 2003 the Swiss federal parliament rejected an initial treaty on the use of South German airspace for approaches and departures. In the 220th Implementation Ordinance of 10 March 2005 (IO), Germany then enacted unilateral measures to restrict approaches and departures in German airspace (curfews in the morning and in the evening). On 4 September 2012 Germany and Switzerland signed a new international treaty. The Federal Council adopted the message concerning this treaty in December 2012. Though the Swiss parliament adopted the treaty in 2013, ratification is still pending in Germany. It is not currently known when it will be possible to conclude the ratification process. Against this background, this Project Plan remains limited to the circumstances which comply with the provisions of the IO and which can be regulated independently of the content of the treaty. In relation to implementation of the international treaty, the Project Plan would have to be adapted once more; for example, the provisions on flight operations would be affected. In this connection, the introduction of a curved northern approach would have to be examined, instead of the southern approaches. 13 Sectoral Aviation Infrastructure Plan (SAIP) 23.08.2017 Part IIIC Sectoral Plan content Infrastructure-specific goals and procedures ZH-1 Status of planning, coordination: The determinations in this Project Plan are based on the one hand on the coordination process between the competent authorities of the Confederation, the siting canton and Zurich Airport which took place between 2004 and 2009. The neighbouring cantons were also involved. The results of this process are included in the final report of 2 February 2010 and formed the basis for the first version of the Project Plan dated 26 June 2013. On the other hand, recommended spatially relevant measures from the 2012 safety investigation at Zurich Airport are implemented by this Project Plan. These measures are described in the documentation for the adjustment of the SAIP Project Plan dated 15 September 2016 and concern both the expansion of the infrastructure and the adjustment of flight operations. The intended purpose and the function of Zurich Airport, as stated in the Project Plan, are also based on the design guidelines of the SAIP relating to the national airports (SAIP Parts IIIB and IIIB1 dated 18 October 2000) and the Federal Council aviation policy report dated 24 February 2016. The determinations in relation to flight operations and the airport infrastructure are based on a comprehensive optimisation with a general balancing of the interests of society, the economy and environmental protection. They conform to the principles of sustainability, as far as these can be adhered to at the sectoral plan stage. They will have to be implemented in the operating regulations or with the award of planning approvals. The necessary procedures in accordance with the Aviation Act, including the environmental impact assessment (EIA) will have to be introduced after the adoption of the Project Plan. The determinations also take into account the airport policy of the siting canton of Zurich and are harmonised with its spatial development, as far as the safety requirements and the preservation of the function of the airport allow this. The same applies to the structure planning of the neighbouring cantons of Aargau and Schaffhausen which are directly affected. The implementation of the recommended safety measures aims to reduce the hazards in the operation of the airport. In particular, the number of crossovers on the runways and in the air is to be reduced, thereby reducing the complexity of flight operations. This Project Plan limits itself to area protection necessary for this; the detailed
