does anybody know if observation deck B is still open, or has it been closed as it was set to be? Are any restrictions to be expected during the WEF late januari 2009? Any information in addition to Scramble's superb airfield guide is welcome!
Greets, Maikel
The observation deck on Terminal B at Zurich-Airport will be closed
definitely on November 1st, 2008. First the outer part of Terminal B will be
pulled down and later a new modern building will be erected. The
construction time will be about three years. A visitors terrace is planned
on the new shorter “finger”.
Between November 1st, 2008 and probably the end of the year, no observation
deck will be
available at Zurich-Airport. For more information check the website www
zurich-airport.com .
