A C17 in ZRH doesn't mean that Trump will come. A US delegation for sure but AF1, not sure at all. It will be a last minute confirmation as usual.

According to some it is already confirmed:

Hiya!

Don't wanna spoil the party, but why don't you check those who should know:
https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefings-st ... c-forum-3/

So on January 1st of 2020, the White House communicates that Donald Trump has no intentions to visit Davos himself. He sends his daughter and son-in-law.

Of course, things might change, or even have changed, or it might be alternate facts, but I wouldn't hold my breath...

Rgds,

No need to apologize, interesting to see that the White House itself does not update its website thus creating 'fake news' itself...

VH60 have been spotted in Davos yesterday.

Do you know if they will close the terrasse when AF1 will land? Where it will be park? Any guess or experience from last time AF1 came?

[ehusmann]

Two years ago they did close the terrace for the morning. I *think* AF1 landed on runway 16 and taxied to the platform in between the hangars on the southwest side (out of view from the spottersplace). Then the helos took off in a southern direction from the runway 16/34 end.
