"Private jets are descending on the typically quiet ski town of Davos as the masters of the universe make their way to Switzerland for the World Economic Forum. Bill Gates, Nvidia's Jensen Huang, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon are among the business leaders scheduled to attend, along with world leaders like French President Emmanuel Macron, Argentina's Javier Milei, and Donald Trump."
"It's unlikely any of these titans will fly commercial. Last year, private aviation traffic in the region during WEF week was about five times the usual level, with more than 150 jets landing at area airports, according to JetSpy, which tracks FAA-registered aircraft. They were registered to billionaires like Michael Dell and Robert Smith, and hailed from Palm Beach and Dubai, Paris, and Doha."
Private jet traffic to Davos increases dramatically during the World Economic Forum as business leaders, tech CEOs, and world leaders arrive by private and government aircraft. Last year, JetsSpy recorded more than 150 private jets landing in the region during WEF week, about five times normal traffic. Jets were registered to billionaires such as Michael Dell and Robert Smith and originated from locations including Palm Beach, Dubai, Paris, and Doha. Corporate jets from Google, BlackRock, and IBM arrived during the weekend. Engadin Airport handles few WEF flights because of a 25-nautical-mile airspace restriction requiring Swiss Air Force authorization, so many attendees use Zurich Airport instead.
