Track works choke rail access to Zurich Airport from 23 May to 3 July 2026
SBB has started six weeks of track work on the key Oerlikon–Bassersdorf stretch serving Zurich Airport, triggering diversions, cancellations and longer journey times from 23 May to 3 July 2026. Business travellers are advised to allow extra time, consult updated timetables and consider alternative transport—although a new early-morning Bern–Airport train and expanded Air Rail options offer partial relief. The works are vital for future capacity but pose short-term planning headaches for corporate mobility managers.
