SkyAccess Geneva and Switzerland Empty Leg Index: November 2026

Geneva leads the November 2026 Switzerland Empty Leg Index with 6,510 unique listed legs, out of 17,669 touching airports in Switzerland. Zurich follows with 4,427, then Sion with 1,665 and Samedan with 1,553. Paris is the most common Geneva counterpart city, with 700 legs. These are listed empty legs, not flights confirmed as operated.

Method and window: Each unique leg is counted once, both directions are combined for airport and counterpart counts, and deleted, cancelled and internal only listings are excluded. The window covers departures in the 365 days before 29 October 2026 plus future listings already created by the snapshot time, 29 October 2026 at 06:05 UTC.

Swiss empty legs by airport

A leg connecting two Swiss airports appears in both airport rows, so airport counts do not add up to the Switzerland total. Basel Mulhouse is shown separately because EuroAirport is in France.

Methodology

Switzerland means airports located in Switzerland. Basel Mulhouse, also called EuroAirport, is in France, so it appears as a separate airport and is not included in the 17,669 Swiss total. Including legs that touch Basel Mulhouse, the distinct total is 18,319. A leg between two Swiss airports counts once in the country total and at each endpoint in the airport table. Paris groups Le Bourget, Charles de Gaulle and Orly. London groups its eight London airports, and Milan groups Linate and Malpensa. Counts describe listed marketplace legs, not flights confirmed as flown. Each regional edition uses its own snapshot date, so a shared route can differ from another edition.
