Why an office near the airport is ideal for a startup?

Choosing the right location for a work location can have a significant impact on the company's success and team satisfaction. An often overlooked but strategically useful location is the proximity to an airport. Here are some compelling reasons and benefits why working near the airport can be an excellent choice.


1. Optimum accessibility for national and international employees and customers
A coworking space near the airport significantly reduces the travel time of employees and business partners. Employees who frequently have to fly to meetings, workshops or customer appointments appreciate the short journey to the airport. This means less stress and waiting times and at the same time more productive time in a coworking space. International partners who travel to the company will also appreciate the easy access to the coworking space.

2. Perfect for teams with lots of business trips
For startups that are often on the move or operate internationally, a location near the airport is ideal. After one meeting in the morning, employees can still be in another city or even another country in time for another one in the afternoon. The coworking space thus becomes a central base from which business activities can be coordinated efficiently.

3. Central location and good transport links
Zurich Airport is well connected to the public transport network. Whether by train, tram, bus or taxi — the quick access to various means of transport also makes the location attractive for employees who do not have to work directly at the airport. This also makes commuting easier and saves time and nerves when traveling to the coworking space every day.

“Zurich Airport is very well connected by bus, train and tram. With direct connections to the largest and most economically important cities in Switzerland, the trip is convenient.”

4. Logistical benefits for supplies and services
If the startup sends or receives goods or services by plane, then the proximity to the airport is invaluable. The shorter transport routes from a coworking space mean faster processing, lower costs and greater flexibility in the event of short-term changes or urgent orders. Suppliers or partners who pick up or deliver products directly also benefit from easy access.

5. Attractive for international talent and customers
For startups and companies that operate internationally, it is an advantage to have jobs near transport hubs such as airports. This not only signals professionalism and global orientation, but also makes it easier for international employees and customers to reach the place of work. It is becoming easier to attract international talent who find the coworking space attractive as a location, as they can quickly get to work at any time.

6. Increased flexibility for spontaneous business meetings
Sometimes there are opportunities for short-term business meetings or networking meetings with partners or investors who are on a trip. A coworking space near the airport makes it possible to take advantage of such opportunities quickly and efficiently, without long journeys and additional planning.

“Spontaneous meetings with investors at the airport offer a unique opportunity to have decisive discussions in a neutral environment. The flexibility and availability of on-site meeting rooms make it possible to make optimal use of valuable time and make important decisions efficiently, even between trips.”

7. Higher productivity due to shorter travel times
Less time stuck in traffic or on overcrowded trains means more time to focus on what's important: work. The proximity to Zurich Airport can help to minimize the time employees spend traveling and thus increase productivity. At the same time, the probability of delays or stressful situations due to long journeys decreases.

8. Professional meeting rooms for external partners
Proximity to the airport also means that guests or partners can make their journey easier if they are only there for a short meeting. In our coworking space at Zurich Airport, we offer modern meeting rooms with professional infrastructure that are ideal for presentations, meetings or workshops. As a result, external partners do not have to travel to the city center first, which saves time and makes meetings more relaxed.

9. Prestige and image advantage
A place of work at Zurich Airport can also be a statement. It shows that the startup or company is committed to international cooperation and global networking. The coworking space as a home conveys seriousness and professionalism and can leave a positive impression on potential customers, investors or partners.
