Zurich Airport is expecting an additional 280 flights during UEFA EURO 2008™ with many taking advantage of the temporary relaxation of night-flight rules.

Airport authorities anticipate that the bulk of the extra flights will be in the days before and after the city's three group-stage games – on 9, 13 and 17 June – with plenty of fans from France and the Netherlands likely to jet in. A relaxation of night-flight regulations for the finals will allow up to 20 planes to fly in and out of the airport between 22.00 and 2.00 on the night after matches in the city.
Security services at the airport are due to work longer hours while some of the airport's shops and concessions will also remain open later. Supporters from opposing teams will be processed separately to avoid tension.
