This is what Switzerland does. Saves a ton of money on infra and maintenance costs, and keeps your defensive forces closer to the cities that enemies will be attacking.

Yes, and what's even cooler, they've recently made it so the Swiss air force can now even operate outside of office hours! (A small oversight that only lasted a few decades)
Now we only need to figure out the logistics of keeping at least a few planes fully operational at all times.

Nothing wrong with being prepared.

So once war starts there is nowhere to flee because Russia will need to bombard all the civilian infrastructure first?
I don't have a better suggestion but it sounds kind of off.

Russia bombards all the civilian infra immediately anyways, because it creates a crisis that the defenders have to manage. It's better to have a your defensive forces close to your civilian populace, than having to fly over to them once the attack has already started.
Remember, day 1 of the current Russian invasion, they tried to seize Kyiv airport, to bring in transport planes. The civilian airports are strategic targets even without any military presence.
