Airspaces: Control areas (CTA)

Based on Article 40, Federal Civil Aviation Act (SR 748.0) and Article 2, paragraph 1, Ordinance on Air Navigation Services (SR 748.132.1), the FOCA is reponsible for defining the airspace structure and classes. Other information, e.g. airspace class, conditions for use, plus further details relating to the depicted airspaces, may be obtained from the applicable official publication (AIP).

The Swiss airspace consists of the Control areas (CTA) Zurich / Geneva and a flight information region (FIR), with separation line Central Plateau-Jura / Alps.
