A squadron of 1,700 private jets brought Billionaires,
world leaders and celebrities during the four-day conference annual World
Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland to discuss things such as terrorism, the
central banks and growing economic inequality, and climate change.
Most of the incoming private jets were accommodated
at the Zurich airport; however, a new landing zone opened up via the Duebendorf
military base, near Zurich, which housed 40 private jets, which is a one-hour
helicopter ride from picturesque Davos.
Due to the sheer numbers, the resulting airport traffic
increased by 10 per cent.
Some guests paid $71,000 or more to attend the
conference, which is said to be the ultimate networking event where top
business deals get done.
Bill Gates, Google's Eric Schmidt, Alibaba founder
Jack Ma, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg and Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer as well as
about 40 world leaders attended the summit
