"St. Moritz is remote enough to still be exclusive, but that means getting here is a test of commitment. Want to arrive at a reasonable hour? Rise early, get to the airport, fly into Zurich, then board a three-hour train... by the time you arrive, rumpled and resentful, the experience feels hard-won."
"Samedan is less an airport than a password. Mention it, and those in the know will understand you're flying private because this tiny, blink-and-you-miss-it airport doesn't have scheduled commercial airline routes."
"I'm told that during some peak periods, as much as 80 percent of guests at Badrutt's arrive in Samedan, and in many ways, it's the perfect illustration of what private aviation is really about: not excess, not even luxury... but time."
"HansJet initially built its business as an on-demand charter operator, but in spring 2025, it introduced Europe's first membership program with a fleet of private turboprop planes, able to fly members to more than 3,000 airports and private strips across Europe."
St. Moritz is renowned for its glamorous atmosphere, attracting visitors with its high-end experiences like snow polo and luxury hotels. However, reaching this exclusive destination can be challenging, often requiring a lengthy journey via Zurich and train. Samedan airport, a private aviation hub, significantly reduces travel time, allowing guests to arrive in just 10 minutes. HansJet, a Malta-based company, offers a membership program with a fleet of turboprop planes, enhancing access to over 3,000 airports across Europe, emphasizing the value of time in travel.
