Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the Federal Office of Civil Aviation had acted as a first-instance authority or as an appeal authority in the badge-suspension dispute.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The Federal Office acted in first instance; the matter was not an appeal proceeding.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under the aviation and administrative procedural framework, the airport operator could not unilaterally decide on access restrictions and related charges; the Federal Office was the competent authority to issue the binding decision.
