Austrian Eurofighter on duty during World Economic Forum in Davos

Issue No. 3 | February 01-15, 2012

From the January 24-29, Austrian Eurofighter Typhoons were in service protecting the skies over the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

The operation known as Daedalus 12 saw four Austrian Eurofighters deployed to protect the area in a temporary no-fly zone over Western Austria and Davos in particular. The Eurofighter worked alongside Austrian Air Force turboprop PC-7 trainers and OH-58 Kiowa helicopters protecting the skies against potential ‘slow moving aerial threats’ for the duration of the Forum.

This task, in full coordination with the Swiss authorities, demonstrated the perfect interoperability of the Alpine Air defence system and builds on the successful experience gained from previous operations including the Euro 2008 football championships in Austria and Switzerland as well as the World Economic Forum meetings in Davos in 2011.
