Kloten is a municipality in the district of Bülach in the canton of Zürich in Switzerland, and belongs to the Glatt Valley (German: Glatttal).

[3] Kloten is located in the Glatt Valley, some 10 km (6.2 mi) north of the city of Zürich.

Of the rest of the land, 38.2% is settled (buildings or roads) and the remainder (1%) is non-productive (rivers, glaciers or mountains).

A large amount of ground transportation infrastructure, both road and rail, serves the airport and, to a lesser extent, the rest of Kloten.

The west of the municipality is also served by Zürich tram routes 10 and 12, operating over the Stadtbahn Glattal light rail system.

Swiss International Air Lines has an office on the property of Zurich Airport and in Kloten, consisting of the Alpha, Bravo, and Charlie buildings.

[14] The corporate offices for Swissôtel are located in the Prioria Business Center on the property of Zurich Airport and in Kloten.

[19] Kloten has an oceanic climate (Köppen Cfb), with sizeable continental influences due to its relative elevation and distance to any large bodies of water.
