A full-scale argument is raging in St Moritz over the future of Europe’s highest airport.
Used almost exclusively by the superrich and their private jets – should the public purse fork out CHF 68m for an expansion and a new hanger?
The airport is already privately owned by the Swiss billionaire family, the Schwarzenbachs.
Those saying the tax payer should contribute point out the airport brings in valuable high paying tourists and will benefit local construction companies.
Detractors say any public funding shouldn’t fund a private company and it should contribute to directly to the public purse.
