Description

Geneva Airport is an airport used by private jets in Geneva, Switzerland. It has a maximum runway length of 3,900 meters. There are in total of 2 runways at the airport.

Geneva Airport formerly and still unofficially known as Cointrin Airport, is the international airport of 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 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 route network of flights mainly to European metropolitan and leisure destinations as well as some long-haul routes to North America, China and the Middle East, amongst them Swiss International Air Lines' only long-haul service (to New York-JFK) outside of Zürich. The airport lies entirely within Swiss territory, however, its northern limit runs along the Swiss–French border and the airport can be accessed from both countries. 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 in the municipality of Meyrin and partially in the municipality of Le Grand-Saconnex.

Sometimes referred to as LSGG - its ICAO code - on private jet quotes, for example, it can also be called GVA - its IATA code name. Both these shorthands are used by aircrafts to refer to the airport.
