Geneva Cointrin International Airport

Geneva Cointrin International Airport (LSGG) — Geneva is one of Europe's most concentrated UHNW private-aviation destinations, with the airport straddling the Swiss-French border on the western shore of Lac Léman. The single 12,795 ft runway handles every current business jet at MTOW. Multiple FBOs (Jet Aviation, Signature, ExecuJet) handle one of the busiest business-aviation flows in Europe. Field elevation 1,411 ft, no density-altitude concerns. Geneva drives extreme structural demand: World Economic Forum at Davos (late January — bizjet ramp pressure exceeds runway capacity for one week), UN Geneva (Palais des Nations), Geneva Motor Show (when held), the broader Swiss watch / banking / luxury corporate community, plus winter ski transit to Verbier, Crans-Montana, Zermatt (via train), and Megève (via French side). Ground time to downtown Geneva is 10 minutes; the Davos transit (via Zürich or via St Moritz overnight) is 4+ hours by car (most Davos arrivals use SR Technics shuttle helicopter or driver).

Geneva Airport – formerly and still unofficially known as Cointrin Airport – is the international airport for Geneva, the second most populous city in Switzerland. It is located 4 km (2.5 mi) northwest of the city centre. It surpassed the 15-million-passengers-a-year mark for the first time in December 2014. The airport serves as a hub for Swiss International Air Lines and easyJet Switzerland. It features a network of flights mainly to continental European destinations as well as some long-haul routes to North America, China, Africa, and the Middle East, amongst them Swiss International Air Lines' only long-haul service outside Zürich, to New York–JFK.
