As part of the airspace surveillance operation "Daedalus 2013", Eurofighter aircraft will ensure, as in previous years, that no unknown aircraft over Austrian territory can approach the conference in Switzerland.
The international conference is due to take place from 23 to 27 January in the famous ski resort.
In recent years, Eurofighter Typhoon were already in use in numerous large international events. For example, Eurofighter of the Royal Air Force secured the airspace during the Olympic Games in London in summer 2012. For that, these modern combat aircraft were on Quick Reaction Alert (QRA) duty seven days a week around the clock.
The aircraft also controlled the airspace during the European Football Championship in Austria and Switzerland in 2008.
