SBS Swiss Business School > News > Inside Zurich Airport: SBS CAP Students Explore the World of Aviation Operations

At SBS Swiss Business School, learning isn’t confined to lecture halls—we take students directly into the action. As part of our Career Advancement Program (CAP), which features 10 exclusive company visits during the second semester, students gain firsthand exposure to real-world business environments across a range of industries.

On February 5th, our CAP students had the unique opportunity to step beyond the usual passenger experience during an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Zurich Airport, one of Europe’s most important aviation hubs.

A Deep Dive into Airport Operations

From navigating departure areas and security protocols to stepping onto the tarmac for a close-up view of aircraft, students were given a rare look into the highly coordinated processes that ensure a seamless travel experience for millions of passengers each year. The visit provided invaluable insights into logistics, safety measures, air traffic management, and the teamwork required to keep international flights on schedule.

Guided by industry professionals, students explored terminal operations, baggage handling systems, and the essential security frameworks that passengers rarely see but rely on every time they fly. The experience offered a deeper understanding of the intricate rules, regulations, and innovations that drive the aviation industry forward.

A Learning Experience That Takes Off

For many students, the visit broadened their horizons and sparked curiosity about the business of aviation, from airport management and airline partnerships to sustainability initiatives shaping the future of air travel. This hands-on learning approach is what makes SBS stand out—our students don’t just study business, they experience it.

With 10 company visits each semester, our CAP program connects students with real-world professionals, industry leaders, and innovative business models, ensuring they graduate with both knowledge and practical insights.

At SBS Swiss Business School, we prepare students for dynamic careers by offering education in motion. Are you ready to take your learning to new heights?
