Geneva Airport (GVA)

Private Jet Charter From Geneva Airport

Geneva Airport is the leading private aviation gateway to western Switzerland, the French Alps, and Lake Geneva. Located approximately 3 miles from the centre of Geneva and on the doorstep of the Swiss-French border, GVA serves a rare combination of clientele: international finance and diplomatic travellers heading to Geneva itself, and an enormous winter ski market connecting to Verbier, Courchevel, Megève, Méribel, Val d'Isère, and Chamonix. The airport handles full commercial traffic alongside one of Europe's busiest business aviation operations.

For premium charter clients, Geneva offers complete separation from the commercial terminal through a dedicated General Aviation Terminal and multiple FBOs, including Signature Flight Support, Jet Aviation, and TAG Aviation. Private passenger lounges, planeside vehicle access, and full Swiss customs and immigration processing keep arrivals and departures discreet and efficient. Demand peaks dramatically during the December to April ski season, with December holidays and the World Economic Forum at Davos in January placing significant pressure on slots and ground transport. ParaFlight coordinates aircraft, FBO arrangements, customs, and ski resort transfers across the entire calendar.
