About Geneva Airport
Key information for travellers transiting through GVA
Geneva Airport (GVA, also known as Geneva Cointrin) is one of the most unusual airports in Europe. It sits almost within the city limits - less than 5 kilometres from Geneva's old town - making it one of the closest major international airports to a city centre anywhere in the world. The airport handles over 17 million passengers annually and serves as the primary gateway for the Western Alps, including the Swiss and French ski resorts that attract millions of winter and summer visitors each year.
The airport has an important structural feature that catches first-time visitors off guard: it has two exits. The main Swiss sector handles the majority of traffic and connects to the Swiss motorway network and Geneva city. A smaller French sector, Sector F, serves certain domestic French routes and exits on the French side of the border in Saint-Genis-Pouilly. Most international travellers use the Swiss sector exit. If unsure which exit applies to your flight, check your boarding pass or ask your carrier when booking.
Geneva is Switzerland's most international city - home to the United Nations European headquarters, the World Health Organization, the International Red Cross, and over 40 other international organisations. The transfer market at GVA reflects this: a significant share of passengers are business travellers on tight schedules. The airport also serves as the winter gateway for the entire Western Alps ski market, with Chamonix, Zermatt, Verbier, and Crans-Montana all within three hours by road.
Airport Facts
Cross-Border Transfers: Switzerland to France
Many of the most popular destinations from GVA are in France - Chamonix, Megève, Morzine, and Les Gets all require crossing from Switzerland into France on the A40 motorway. Verified carriers on TransferBnB operating these routes are licensed for cross-border service and are familiar with the Bardonnex and Vallard border crossing procedures.
For EU and Schengen zone passport holders, the crossing typically takes 2-5 minutes. Non-EU passengers should have passports accessible for presentation. French motorway tolls on the A40 are included in the carrier's price on all cross-border routes.
