Geneva Airport (IATA: GVA, ICAO: LSGG) — formerly and still unofficially known as Cointrin Airport — is an international airport of Geneva, the second most populous city in Switzerland. It is located 4 km (2.5 mi) northwest[4] of the city centre. It surpassed the 15-million-passengers-a-year mark for the first time in December 2014.[5] The airport serves as a hub for Swiss International Air Lines and easyJet Switzerland. It features a route network of flights mainly to European metropolitan and leisure destinations as well as some long-haul routes to North America, China, Africa, and the Middle East, amongst them Swiss International Air Lines' only long-haul service (to New York–JFK) outside of Zürich.
The airport lies entirely within Swiss territory,[6] however, its northern limit runs along the Swiss–French border and the airport can be accessed from both countries. The freight operations are also accessible from both countries, making Geneva a European Union freight hub although Switzerland is not a member of the EU. The airport is partially in the municipality of Meyrin and partially in the municipality of Le Grand-Saconnex.[7][8]
