All domestic flights, flights from Switzerland and Basel-Mulhouse Airport into Europe, as well as flights between Switzerland and Basel-Mulhouse will apply to the new ETS. A few exceptions:
- Government / Heads of State Flights
- Military, Customs, Police Flights
- VFR Flights
- Training Flights
- Flights operated by aircraft under 5700 kg.
