Airport Guide Geneva Cointrin International Airport

Airport information Geneva, Switzerland with description, Country, IATA, City. Including detailed information on airport hotels and car rental at the airport. Always the latest travel information

Geneva International Airport (IATA: GVA, ICAO: LSGG) is an airport near Geneva, Switzerland. It is located 4 km (2.5 mi) northwest of the city centre and has direct connections to expressways, bus lines and railways (SBB-CFF-FFS). Its northern limit runs along the Swiss-French border and the airport can be accessed from both countries. Passengers on flights to or from France do not have to go through Swiss customs and immigration controls if they remain in the French sector of the airport. The freight operations are also accessible from both countries, making Geneva a European Union freight hub although Switzerland is not a member of the EU. The airport is partially located within the commune of Meyrin and partially in the commune of Grand-Saconnex.

The airport has a single concrete runway, which is the longest in Switzerland with a length of 3,900 m (12,795 ft), and a smaller, parallel, grass runway for light aircraft. It is a major hub for easyJet and Flybaboo, a lesser hub for Swiss International Air Lines and the former hub of Swiss World Airways, which ceased operations in 1998. Geneva International Airport has extensive convention facilities and hosts an office of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the world headquarters of Airports Council International (ACI).

Ground connections
The airport is 4 km (2.5 mi)[1] from the Geneva city centre. There is a railway station with trains to Geneva, and other cities in Switzerland. There are local buses that stop at the airport. There are also buses to and from Annecy, France, and also seasonal buses to ski resort Chamonix in France and ski resorts in Switzerland.

Winter weekends see dozens of coaches at the nearby Charter terminal (former cargo terminal) meeting charter flights from all over Europe, but primarily the UK. These take holidaymakers to/from ski resorts in France, Switzerland & Italy.

Before passing through customs a machine dispenses free 80 minute tickets for Transports Publics Genevois, which are valid for both the city buses and trains to the Geneva station (Cornavin).
