Police seize 900 kilos of drugs at Zurich Airport – focus on cannabis
Zurich cantonal police secured approximately 900 kilogrammes of narcotics at Zurich Airport in the second quarter of 2026. Cannabis made up the largest portion of the seizures.
In the first quarter of the year, the amount seized was even higher: at that time, more than one tonne of drugs was intercepted by officers at Switzerland's largest airport.
The figures show that Zurich Airport remains an important transit point and destination for drug trafficking. Police conduct targeted checks on flights from high-risk regions and rely on close cooperation with security authorities on the ground.
The exact countries of origin of the drugs and the nationalities of the suspected couriers were not disclosed in the report. Investigations are ongoing.
