Scenic Flights with veteran Aircraft JU-52

Based at the AIR FORCE CENTER Dübendorf (near Zurich) since 1983, JU-AIR has given many people the opportunity to enjoy unique flying experiences on board its four Junkers Ju-52 oldtimer airplanes, affectionately known in German as „Tante Ju“ („Auntie Ju“). Whether on a sightseeing or charter flight, or on one of our adventure flights, the choice of flights – both domestic and international – are exceptionally diverse, so come fly with us! 

 

 

1981
The three Ju-52s which had been used in the Swiss Air Force for more than 40 years are taken out of service.
An extraordinary general meeting of the VFMF (Association of the Friends of the Swiss Air Force) decides to assume the sponsorship for Ju-52 flying operations.
   
1982 "Fly on Ju-52" was the motto for a widespread fund-raising campaign. At the same time it marked the birth of the present JU-AIR operations. Donations from all over Switzerland totalling about CHF 600,000 made possible the transfer of the planes from military to civilian use.
