A Legacy of Private Aviation
In 1919, an airfield was established in Cointrin, near Geneva, covering 130 acres. From 1926 to 1931, the wooden sheds on the grounds were replaced with three concrete hangars. At the time, there was a small amount of air traffic, with Lufthansa flying from Berlin to Barcelona via Halle, Leipzig, Geneva, and Marseille. By 1930, there were six airlines flyiing to Geneva Airport on seven different routes. Then in 1937, construction began on the airfield's first concrete runway, measuring 1,329' x 69'. The following year, eight airlines were flying to Geneva: Swissair, KLM, Lufthansa, Air France, Malert, AB Aerotransport, Alpar, and Imperial Airways. During World War II, the Swiss authorities forbade all flights leaving from Switzerland, but an expansion project led the airport to increase to 230 acres and the main runway was extended to 3,280' x 160'. The runway was further extended another 660 feet as the war drew to a close. A 2.3M Swiss Francs project was agreed upon in order to build a first terminal in Geneva and in 1946 the new terminal was operational, and the runway was once more made larger to 2000 m. In 1947, the first service to New York began. On July 17, 1959, the first jet aircraft landed in Geneva, and it was followed by a TWA Boeing 747, 11 years later, in 1970. In 1960, the runway was extended again to its current length of 12,800 feet. On May 7, 1968, Geneva Main Terminal was inaugurated, which was planned to handle 7 million passengers annually, a total that was reached in 1985. In 1987, Geneva Airport was linked to the Swiss rail system, with a new station built near the main terminal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about flying private to Geneva.
Yes, private jet flights offer flexible departure times. Operators generally provide a window of 30 minutes to two hours, but this can be extended upon request, provided it doesn't conflict with crew duty limitations or subsequent flight schedules. It's best to confirm this flexibility with your aviation advisor when booking.
Generally, each passenger on a light or midsize private jet can bring one piece of luggage, with each piece weighing up to 23 kilograms (about 50 lbs). However, larger jets, which are often used for longer journeys, typically allow passengers to bring more than one piece of luggage per person to accommodate extended stays.
Yes, all passengers on international private jet flights must go through customs. Certain countries require customs clearance at designated ports of entry. For instance, flights heading to Bora Bora must stop in Tahiti for customs. Similarly, when entering the U.S. from Mexico, passengers must clear customs at the first port of entry.
Crew members must have a minimum of 10 hours of rest within a 24-hour period. Their duty day cannot exceed 14 hours, followed by a rest period at their hotel. Typically, flight operators schedule around 12 hours of rest to accommodate travel time to and from the hotel, ensuring the crew has adequate rest.
A fuel stop usually takes between 45 and 60 minutes. To expedite the process, the flight operator or pilots often notify the fueling service in advance, so a fuel truck is ready upon the jet's arrival. For smaller aircraft, refueling might take as little as 30 minutes.
Yes, on most private jets, luggage can be accessed during the flight because the luggage and passenger areas are on the same level. This contrasts with commercial flights where luggage is stored separately in the cargo hold. On larger private jets, luggage is often stored in an area behind the lavatory, making it accessible during the flight.
Private jet passengers can enjoy a variety of catering options, including local cuisine. While standard snacks and beverages are typically available, meals that do not require cooking can be ordered in advance. Any hot food must be pre-cooked and can only be warmed on board.
Yes, pets are welcome on most private jet flights. It's important to inform the operator in advance, as there may be specific requirements or a small cleaning fee. Ensure that all necessary documentation and vaccination records for your pet are current. For domestic U.S. travel, dogs and cats must be at least eight weeks old and weaned.
