In peacetime the air defence radar coverage is maintained on a 24/7 basis. The aviator corps however is incapable of maintaining a matching state of readiness due to limited budget and lack of staff available and is operated from 06:00-22:00 local time only. This became painfully clear as the Swiss Luftwaffe was unable to respond to the Ethiopian Airlines ET702 hijacking in 2014 which occurred outside routine operating hours. Agreements with Italy and France in particular enabled fighters from both air forces to enter Swiss airspace to handle the threat.
