Being centrally located in Europe, and being a very international city, close to the Alps, the traffic in Geneva is really interesting as it is very diverse. There are some long-haul flights, and mostly European flights. But at least, you will see a lot of different airlines in Geneva, and not always the same tails like in major hubs. | |||
Geneva is a hub for EasyJet, Swiss and Etihad Regional (Darwin). Despite being more frequent than other airlines, these three leave a lot of space for the other carriers. | |||
In Geneva you can see also a lot of Biz Jets, because it is a very political city. Jet Aviation and PrivatAir have their home base at GVA. | Airlines (short-medium haul) flying to Geneva: British Airways, Lufthansa, Air France, Alitalia, Iberia, TAP, SN Brussels, KLM, LuXair, Eurowings, LOT Polish, Finnair, Norwegian, SAS, Aer Lingus, El Al, MEA, Royal Jordanian, Tarom, Ukraine International, Aeroflot, Aegean, Turkish Airlines, Vueling, among others | ||
Intercontinental or Long-haul Flights are made by, Swiss to New York, Kuwait Airways to Kuwait City via Frankfurt, Air Canada to Montreal, Air China to Beijing, United Airlines to Washington and Newark, Saudi Arabian to Jeddah,, Qatar Airways to Doha, Etihad to Abu Dhabi or Emirates to Dubai. | |||
The types mostly seen are A320 Family planes and 737s for most European flights. You will also see ERJs, CRJs, Avros, Dashs or Fokkers. The C-Series will also fly for Swiss out of Geneva soon. Intercontinental flights are on A330s (Swiss, Etihad, Kuwait, Air Canada, Air China) B767s (United) and B777s (Emirates). Qatar will fly the 788 as of Summer 2016. Kuwait sometimes flies the A300B. | |||
Winter Charter Season brings a wide range of other airplanes: it is not unlikely to see an El Al 744 or an Aeroflot 330 during that period. Equipment changes frequently to respond to high demand in the December to Easter period. | |||
In Geneva you can see also a lot of Biz Jets, because it is a very political city. Jet Aviation and PrivatAir have their home base at GVA. You are likely to see some Boeing Business Jets from 707 to 787 on a regular basis, and a wide range of Airbus, from the smaller 318 to the bigger 340. | |||
