- The Lugano City Council Management Commission will meet with municipal officer Filippo Lombardi in the coming days to discuss two municipal messages: urgent infrastructure interventions requested by the Federal Office of Civil Aviation and a long‑term airport management plan to replace the current transitional regime after the liquidation of Lugano Airport SA. The meeting is expected to shape the Council’s decision on the airport for late 2026 to early 2027.
- Christophe Chollet, former director of Sion Airport, has been appointed as the new external strategic consultant for Lugano Airport, replacing Davide Pedrioli, and the Federal Department of Environment, Transport, Energy and Communications has renewed the airport’s operating concession for another 30 years. The Swiss States Council voted to allow European airlines to operate domestic routes within Switzerland, supporting a proposed Lugano‑Geneva link that the National Council is expected to approve, while ASPASI views the connection as strategic for the Italian‑Swiss economy; the airport reported 7 million francs revenue in the first half of 2026.
