Flughafen Zürich handled 3,126,906 passengers in September 2026, up 2.6 percent from the same month a year earlier. The figures were published by Flughafen Zürich on October 12.

Transfer demand leads traffic growth

Transfer passengers increased 6.4 percent, lifting their share of total traffic to 28.6 percent from 27.6 percent a year earlier. Local passenger traffic grew 1.1 percent. The mix points to stronger connecting traffic at the Swiss hub, while the overall passenger trend remained positive.
