Video and Photo shooting

The request must be sent in electronic form to the address info@luganoairport.ch with a minimum notice of 7 working days.
A shorter notice does not guarantee the completion of the procedure in useful times. Shooting must therefore be postponed in order to comply with the indicated notice period.
