Private-jet arrival of football legend Ronaldinho at Zürich Airport spotlights new VIP border-security workflow
Ronaldinho’s headline-grabbing touchdown served as Zürich Airport’s first real-world test of its mobile Entry/Exit System (EES) units for VIP and charter arrivals. The exercise confirmed that all third-country visitors – even celebrities in private jets – must undergo on-the-spot biometric capture, a process that will become mandatory for business-jet travellers after 17 November. Corporations using Swiss FBOs should adjust arrival schedules and data-submission routines to avoid bottlenecks.
