History of Geneva Cointrin Airport
It was near the village of Cointrin that the Grand Council of Geneva decided to set up an airport in 1919. The runway was 1200 m long at the time and it was not until 1946 that the first terminal was built.
In the 1950s, Switzerland exchanged land with France to extend the runway to 3900 m.
Since 2001, the airport has annually hosted a major aeronautics exhibition: EBACE.
