Zurich anchors Switzerland's finance-driven private travel and serves as a gateway to the eastern Alps. Demand is business-led with a winter ski overlay. London is Europe's busiest private-jet market, served by dedicated business-aviation airports at Luton and Farnborough. Finance, sport, and a constant flow to the Med and the US keep it busy year-round.
Most Zurich–London private traffic moves through dedicated business-aviation airports rather than the crowded commercial terminals. On the Zurich end that means Zurich (ZRH); arrivals into London favor London Luton (LTN) and Farnborough (FAB). Flying these FBO-served fields means curb-to-cabin in minutes and no main-terminal queues on either side.
At 488 miles this is squarely light and midsize jets territory — aircraft like the Citation XLS+ and Embraer Phenom 300 have the range and cabin to fly it comfortably nonstop, which is why they make up most of the empty-leg supply on the route. London runs 1 hour behind Zurich, so you land with the clock in your favor. Demand peaks around the winter ski season and the finance calendar out of Zurich and summer and the autumn finance season into London, when repositioning flights — and therefore empty legs — are most frequent.
