2. Executive Company Overview

Engadin Airport, formally operated by Engadin Airport AG, is the regional airport serving Samedan, St. Moritz and the wider Upper Engadin area of Graubünden, Switzerland. Located at 1,707 metres above mean sea level, LSZS occupies an unusual position within European business aviation: it provides direct aviation access to one of Switzerland’s principal Alpine tourism and second-home markets while operating within demanding high-altitude and mountainous terrain. The airport accommodates private and business jets, turboprops, piston aircraft, helicopters and gliders and supports both VFR operations and specified IFR traffic. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

Engadin Airport AG operates the airport under a public-law operating mandate and service arrangement with Infra RFS, the public infrastructure body responsible for the airport’s physical infrastructure. Its commercial activities extend beyond runway and aerodrome operations to ground handling, passenger and crew assistance, aviation fuel, de-icing, ground power, cabin cleaning, security services and dedicated inflight catering. Customs services are available during airport operating hours, giving the airport practical relevance for international private aviation movements into and out of the Engadin. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

The airport’s private-aviation significance is particularly pronounced during seasonal and major-event demand. Engadin tourism authorities specifically identify four- and five-star hotel guests, property owners and visitors attending events including the World Economic Forum period, St. Moritz polo and White Turf among the traffic drivers. The airport handled 18,929 aircraft movements in 2025, including 3,813 jet movements, 2,005 turboprop movements and 7,459 helicopter movements, according to Engadin Airport AG’s 2025 financial statements. (Engadin)

Operationally, LSZS is not a conventional low-altitude business-aviation airport. The operator requires specific pilot familiarisation because of the mountain environment, and Switzerland has approved satellite-supported IFR procedures for the airport. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

7. Aircraft Expertise

Engadin Airport is an airport operator, rather than an aircraft manufacturer, management company or aircraft broker. Its aircraft expertise should therefore be characterized according to aircraft types routinely accommodated rather than brand-specific commercial relationships.

Aircraft Categories Supported

Business Jets: Yes
Turboprops: Yes
Piston Aircraft: Yes
Helicopters: Yes
Gliders: Yes
Training Aircraft: Yes (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

The Municipality of Samedan states that the federally concessioned airport can be used year-round by aircraft up to medium-sized jet aircraft, subject to operational limitations and applicable procedures. (Gemeinde Samedan)

Manufacturers

No specific OEM authorization, manufacturer partnership or aircraft-manufacturer specialization was identified that would justify tagging Gulfstream, Bombardier, Dassault, Embraer, Cessna/Textron, Pilatus or another OEM as a formal Engadin Airport specialization.

Aircraft Manufacturers: Not applicable as a verified corporate specialization.

Aircraft Models

No individual aircraft model should be assigned to the directory profile because the airport serves multiple operators and aircraft categories rather than maintaining an aircraft-model-specific fleet.

8. Fleet Information

Engadin Airport AG is an airport operator and ground-services provider rather than a verified aircraft-owning commercial operator.

Total Fleet Size: Not applicable
Owned Aircraft: Not publicly disclosed / no operational aircraft fleet verified
Managed Aircraft: Not applicable
Charter Aircraft: Not applicable
Aircraft Available for Charter: Engadin Airport itself does not publish an airport-owned charter fleet

10. Certifications & Regulatory Status

Swiss Federal Airport Status

The Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation identifies Samedan as a regional airport under ICAO LSZS and IATA SMV. (Bazl)

Operating Concession

The federal operating concession was renewed from September 1, 2001 through August 31, 2031. Swiss government sources confirm the concession framework. (Bazl)

Engadin Airport AG’s own mission statement says that it operates Samedan Airport on behalf of Infra RFS pursuant to a service agreement, operating regulations and a DETEC operating licence and that, as concessionaire/operator, it performs a public-law function. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

Operating Regulations

The current Swiss SIL record references the airport’s operating concession dated August 27, 2001 and operating regulations dated September 19, 2019. (Bazl)

IFR Approval

Swiss authorities have approved satellite-supported instrument procedures for Samedan, including:

• RNP APCH RWY 21 LNAV
• Visual Approach with RNP Track Guidance RWY 03
• Associated instrument departure procedures

These procedures improve operational access but do not convert LSZS into a conventional ILS airport; published procedures retain significant terrain, visibility and pilot-qualification requirements. (Bazl)

AFIS

Samedan provides Aerodrome Flight Information Service (AFIS) rather than conventional aerodrome ATC sequencing. Airport briefing documentation specifically states that AFIS officers do not provide normal ATC separation/sequencing, although certain manoeuvring-area instructions and relayed clearances may be provided. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

Rescue and Fire Fighting

The airport publishes:

Baseline ICAO fire category: 2
Categories 3–6: Available on request, with three hours advance notice. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

Customs

Federal customs services are available during airport operating hours. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

IS-BAH

Not independently verified

IS-BAO

Not applicable to the airport unless separately demonstrated.

EASA Approval

No standalone “EASA airport certification” should be inferred from the material reviewed.

FAA Part 139 / Part 145 / Part 135

Not applicable as U.S. regulatory categories.

ISO Certifications

Not independently verified

11. Industry Memberships

The following memberships were not independently verified in the current research:

EBAA: Not independently verified
NBAA: Not independently verified
IATA Membership: Not independently verified; the existence of the SMV IATA location code does not establish IATA corporate membership
ACI Europe: Not independently verified
Swiss Business Aviation Association: Not independently verified
Other formal aviation associations: Not publicly established from authoritative sources reviewed

PrivateJetia should not assign membership badges without further primary documentation.

12. Leadership

The airport’s current official team page identifies the following senior management. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

CEO: No executive currently identified by the airport under the title CEO

Chief Operating Officer / Airport Manager: Martin Binkert
Binkert is listed by Engadin Airport as Chief Operating Officer and Airport Manager. Swiss commercial-register reporting also records him as a co-managing director following the September 2025 management update. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

Chief Financial Officer / Delegate of the Board: Christian Gorfer
Gorfer is listed by the airport as CFO and Delegate of the Board and is recorded in commercial-register reporting as co-managing director. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

Operations Manager: Franziska Stöckli

Technical Manager: Leandro Jäger

Team Leader AFIS: Ingo Mundt

Team Leader Services: Tazio Brunetti (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

Registered Corporate Leadership

Commercial-register-derived data identifies:

Board Members: Guy Vivian Ernst Schwarzenbach; Urs Ernst Schwarzenbach
Registered Management / Signatories: Corado Manzoni, Martin Binkert, Christian Gorfer, Philipp Waser and others according to role/status. (Moneyhouse)

There is a difference between the airport’s current public-facing operational organization chart and the wider commercial-register records. PrivateJetia should therefore distinguish operational leadership from registered corporate officers rather than treating the two lists as contradictory.

13. Ownership & Corporate Structure

Ownership Type: Privately incorporated operating company functioning within a public-infrastructure framework

Legal Form: Aktiengesellschaft / Swiss company limited by shares (Moneyhouse)

UID: CHE-111.748.847

Commercial Register Number: CH-350.3.008.088-6 (Moneyhouse)

Operating Company

Engadin Airport AG is responsible for airport operations.

Infrastructure Ownership

Infra RFS is a self-governing public-law institution of the Upper Engadin municipalities and owns the airport’s infrastructure facilities. It is responsible for maintenance, renewal, construction and operational readiness of that infrastructure. (GRHeute)

The Municipality of Samedan states that airport ownership is divided between the Canton of Graubünden for the land and the eleven Upper Engadin supporting municipalities for buildings and installations. (Gemeinde Samedan)

Engadin Airport AG Shareholding

Detailed current shareholding percentages are not publicly disclosed in the reviewed corporate records.

A 2022 Graubünden parliamentary record stated that, according to the government’s knowledge at the time, Urs E. Schwarzenbach was the principal shareholder of Engadin Airport AG. Because this statement dates from 2022 and an up-to-date shareholder register was not located, present-day percentage ownership should be classified Requires Verification rather than assumed unchanged.

14. Company History & Milestones

1938 Airport opening. Samedan Regional Airport opened on January 27, 1938. (Gemeinde Samedan)

2001 Federal concession renewed. DETEC granted a 30-year operating concession running from September 1, 2001 through August 31, 2031. (Bazl)

2004 Engadin Airport AG established as operating company. The company entered the Graubünden Commercial Register on July 2, 2004. (Moneyhouse)

2004 onward Private operating structure. Historical sources document Engadin Airport AG taking responsibility for airport operations during this period while public authorities retained key infrastructure/land interests. (E-Periodica)

2010s Public infrastructure restructuring. Greater public-sector involvement in airport infrastructure ultimately led to the current Infra RFS structure, separating infrastructure ownership responsibilities from Engadin Airport AG’s operating role. (GRHeute)

2018 onward Airport redevelopment planning. Infrastructure modernization became the subject of substantial planning and public-financing processes. Initial development plans and subsequent revised projects have involved the Upper Engadin municipalities and Infra RFS. (Schweizer Radio und Fernsehen (SRF))

2019 Operating regulations referenced in the current federal SIL framework. (Bazl)

2024 Federal approval for permanent satellite-supported IFR procedures. FOCA/DETEC documentation describes approval of GNSS/RNAV-based instrument procedures for LSZS. (Bazl)

2025 Updated federal SIL object sheet. The Federal Office of Civil Aviation published an updated Samedan airport infrastructure-planning record on October 29, 2025. (Bazl)

2026 Continuing infrastructure approvals. FOCA records include approval for replacement construction of the Rega operational base at the airport in March 2026. (Bazl)

15. Strategic Partnerships

Engadin Airport does not publish a conventional corporate “strategic partner” roster. The following are more accurately characterized as important operational relationships.

Infra RFS

Infra RFS owns and maintains the regional airport infrastructure, while Engadin Airport AG operates the airport under a service and concession framework. This is the airport’s most important structural relationship. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

Swiss Federal Office of Civil Aviation / DETEC

FOCA and DETEC provide the applicable federal regulatory and concession framework governing the airport. (Bazl)

Federal Office for Customs and Border Security

Swiss customs services are available at the airport during operating hours, enabling international operations subject to applicable requirements. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

Rega

Rega maintains an operational presence/base at Samedan. FOCA approved the replacement construction of a Rega operational base in March 2026. (Gemeinde Samedan)

Swiss Helicopter AG

Identified by the Municipality of Samedan as one of the helicopter operators based at the airport. (Gemeinde Samedan)

Heli Bernina AG

Also identified as a resident helicopter operation. (Gemeinde Samedan)

Air Corviglia

Identified by the Municipality of Samedan as an aviation company based at the airport. (Gemeinde Samedan)

These base relationships should not automatically be described as equity partnerships or formal strategic alliances without additional documentation.

16. Key Differentiators

1. Exceptional High-Altitude Location

At 1,707 metres / 5,600 ft AMSL, Samedan operates in an environment where aircraft performance, weather, terrain and pilot preparation become materially important operational factors. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

2. Direct Access to St. Moritz and Upper Engadin

The airport lies approximately 5 km from St. Moritz, giving business and private aviation passengers unusually close air access to the destination. (Gemeinde Samedan)

3. Material Business-Jet Activity

Engadin Airport recorded 3,813 jet movements in 2025, an increase from 2,921 in 2024. This confirms that business-jet activity is a meaningful component of airport traffic rather than merely an occasional use case. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

4. Integrated Ground Handling

Engadin Airport directly provides a substantial range of handling services including fuel, de-icing, ground power, cabin cleaning, passenger and crew support, security, transport coordination and catering. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

5. Dedicated Inflight Catering

The airport maintains an in-house inflight-catering operation serving short- through ultra-long-haul missions. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

6. International Customs Capability

Customs availability during airport operating hours supports direct international business-aviation activity. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

7. Specialized Mountain-Airport Procedures

Mandatory familiarisation and satellite-supported IFR procedures reflect an operational environment requiring greater pilot preparation than conventional flat-terrain regional airports. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

Company Reported

The following figures originate directly from Engadin Airport AG and are therefore classified as company-reported unless independently audited confirmation is separately established:

• CHF 14.616 million FY2025 revenue
• CHF 3.843 million EBITDA
• CHF 2.944 million FY2025 profit
• 18,929 aircraft movements
• 37 employees

They are nevertheless derived from the airport’s formal annual financial statement rather than ordinary marketing material. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)

Third-Party / Government Reported

Airport opening in 1938: Municipality of Samedan
Infrastructure ownership structure: Municipality / Infra RFS / canton sources
Principal shareholder information: Graubünden parliamentary record from 2022
Commercial registration data: Swiss Official Gazette-derived records

CEO title: The airport currently lists a COO/Airport Manager and CFO/Delegate of the Board rather than a CEO.

Founder(s) of Engadin Airport AG: Not publicly disclosed in sufficiently authoritative current material.

Industry-association memberships: Not independently verified.

IS-BAH / ISO accreditation: Not independently verified.

Hangar capacity: Not reliably disclosed in current reviewed documentation.

Important Structural Clarification

Engadin Airport should not be described simply as a privately owned airport. There are two materially different entities:

Engadin Airport AG airport operating company.

Infra RFS / public authorities airport infrastructure ownership and development framework.

That distinction is important for corporate due diligence and for understanding the airport’s commercial and governance structure. (Engadin Airport St. Moritz – Samedan)
