A new government jet ordered by the Swiss administration is reportedly facing operational challenges. The Bombardier Global 7500, which was meant to serve the Swiss government, cannot fit into the current storage facilities at Bern-Belp airport. Additionally, reports suggest that the runway at the airport is too short for the aircraft to function with a full payload.
Media outlets have been covering this development, shedding light on the potential implications for the Swiss Federal Council's operations. The discovery of the mismatch between the aircraft's specifications and the airport facilities occurred only after the acquisition of the jet.
The situation highlights key logistical issues for the Swiss government in terms of planning and infrastructure adaptation. The Global 7500's larger size and weight pose challenges that need addressing to ensure seamless operations.
