Charter a private jet or helicopter to Geneva

Location & access to Geneva airport

Geneva is Switzerland’s busiest international airport, located 4 km northwest of the city of Geneva. With over 35,000 movements a year, it is Europe’s second-largest airport for private aviation, just behind Paris Le Bourget.

The only downside to this airport is its heavy traffic, which restricts landing and take-off slots, sometimes increasing the price of your rental. For noise reasons, night flights are also prohibited between 10 pm and 6 am.

Since 2001, Geneva airport has hosted a major annual air show, EBACE.
