The law looks obsolete, unjustified, or duplicative.

Summary

This ordinance governs how airport charges are set, published, approved, and collected at Swiss airports, with especially detailed rules for Geneva and Zurich. It defines charge categories, assigns liability, subjects charges to BAZL approval and price-surveillance style oversight, mandates publication and accounting segmentation, and imposes negotiation and cost-calculation procedures, including rules on capital return, over- and under-recovery, differentiated charges, congestion surcharges, environmental steering charges, and prefinancing.

Verdict reason
This is a dense price-regulation regime for airport charging: it substitutes bureaucratic approval, mandated procedures, segmented accounting, and politically directed pricing for contractual pricing and entrepreneurial governance. Even on its own terms it piles on compliance, delays, and distortion-heavy mechanisms such as steering charges, cross-subsidy policing, and administered capital-return formulas. The packet shows regulation of prices, not a hard-to-replicate institutional safeguard that justifies this level of federal micromanagement.
