The Bombardier CRJ-200 VIP (also marketed as ExecLiner or SkyView) is a corporate-shuttle conversion of the CRJ-200 airframe, and it lands in Switzerland-market work when a family office or corporate travel department wants an executive cabin without the fuel bill of an ACJ319 or BBJ. ZRH is the working field.
Airframe and performance are identical to the base CRJ-200; the difference is the interior. Executive layouts typically 14 to 18 passengers, corporate-shuttle layouts up to 30. Enclosed lavatory, baggage volume typically 238 cubic feet (varies by completion). Range 1,645 nautical miles at 424 knots true, ceiling 41,000 feet. First conversions followed the base 1996 service entry.

Why the Bombardier CRJ-200 VIP Fits Switzerland
When a Swiss group outgrows a heavy-jet cabin, the Bombardier CRJ-200 VIP is the sort of aircraft the trip calls for. Geneva requires approval before an aircraft this size sits on the ground for long, which is a planning point on a same-day group movement. Geneva at 12,795 feet and Zurich at 12,139 feet are the two Swiss airports built for aircraft this size, and both are fully slot-coordinated. Which airport makes sense depends on where you are actually going, and we will say so when we present the first quote.
Switzerland-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
Charter demand in Switzerland concentrates around ski season, running December through March,
with Samedan (LSZS) and Bern-Belp (LSZB) seeing the heaviest private traffic during that period.
The World Economic Forum at Davos drives January demand to a sharp peak in eastern Switzerland.
Art Basel in June, the Locarno Film Festival in August, and the Montreux Jazz Festival over the summer
each bring concentrated charter demand. Geneva (GVA) and Zurich (ZRH) handle the bulk of inbound
and outbound flights, with Euroairport Basel-Mulhouse (BSL) serving the Basel corridor. Slot and
ground-handler coordination matters at all three; your advisor plans around it from the outset.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
