The study "Business Aviation Study Switzerland 2022" examines the impact, benefits and trends of Business Aviation with a specific emphasis on the Swiss market. Outlining the economic impact by focusing on the national and regional Swiss Business Aviation airports and their related stakeholder benefits, the study highlights Business Aviation as an integral part and backbone of the highly efficient Swiss aviation system. In 2021, Switzerland recorded close to 100,000 Business Aviation aircraft movements - exceeding the level of 2019. In light of the COVID-19 related crisis of scheduled airline traffic, Business Aviation has proven resilient temporarily increasing its share in total aircraft movements to 27 %. Thus, Business Aviation remains a reliable and irreplaceable partner securing Switzerland's connectivity, particularly in times of crisis. Looking to the future, Business Aviation opens up the opportunity to act as an innovation driver and technological pioneer paving the way for sustainable aviation in the long term.

How can logistics companies use truck-sharing to boost efficiency and flexibility in freight transport operations? This book is the first to present a comprehensive concept for the application of sharing economy principles to road freight transport. Despite mounting pressure on the industry, including driver shortage, tight margins and efficiency deficits, shared mobility remains largely untapped in freight transport. This book introduces truck-sharing as a new strategic approach for unlocking underutilised capacity and increasing operational flexibility. The analysis is grounded in real-world practice, integrating the engaged scholarship approach with backcasting methodology to explore use cases, implementation drivers and barriers, and strategic implications. It integrates insights from horizontal cooperation and the sharing economy into a forward-looking, design-oriented framework tailored for logistics decision-makers. Addressing transport operators, researchers, and policymakers, this book offers clear, actionable recommendations showing how truck-sharing can reduce costs, downtime, and environmental impact. It sets a new direction for more efficient and collaborative freight transport across Europe.

The importance of maritime shipping for the Swiss economy is not reflected in official statistics of the Swiss Federal Customs Administration - high-sea vessels are not registered as a mode of transport for the import and export of goods to and from Switzerland. Thus, the primary study objective is to highlight the importance of high-sea shipping for the trade flows of the Swiss Confederation. Therefore, quantities and values of Switzerland's maritime trade flows will be estimated differentiated by commodity groups and vessel types including trends in the maritime sector relevant for the Swiss Confederation. More than 90% of the total volume of intercontinental trade between Switzerland and its trading partners is carried by ocean-going vessels. High-sea shipping dependency is not to be reduced to intercontinental trade flows only. Due to upstream and downstream transport stages that are a directly part of a supply chain configuration, substantial proportions of continental foreign trade depend on high-sea shipping as well. Die Bedeutung der maritimen Schifffahrt f r die Schweizer Volkswirtschaft spiegelt sich nicht in offiziellen Statistiken der Eidgen ssischen Zollverwaltung - Hochseeschiffe werden nicht als Verkehrstr ger f r den Im- und Export von Waren in und aus der Schweiz registriert. Prim res Ziel der Studie ist es daher, die Bedeutung der Hochseeschifffahrt f r die Handelsstr me der Schweizerischen Eidgenossenschaft aufzuzeigen. Hierzu werden Mengen und Werte der maritimen Handelsstr me der Schweiz differenziert nach Warengruppen und Schiffstypen abgesch tzt und relevante Trends im maritimen Sektor aufgezeigt. Im Interkontinentalhandel zwischen der Schweiz und ihren Handelspartnern werden mehr als 90% des Gesamttransportvolumens werden per Seeschiff abgewickelt. Die Abh ngigkeit der Schweiz von der Hochseeschifffahrt ist nicht nur auf interkontinentale Handelsstr me zu reduzieren. Aufgrund der vor- und nachgelagerten Transportstufen, die unmittelbar Teil
