Driving within the airport site (manoeuvring areas)
For security reasons related to the operation of aircraft, anyone needing to drive in manoeuvring areas must hold a type P permit ("permis P") to drive on the airport.
Conditions
Drivers must:
- Hold a civilian driver's licence valid in Switzerland.
- Have an Airport identity card.
- Hold a license to drive on the apron (“permis T”).
- Need to enter the manoeuvring areas at least three times a month.
- Belong to one of the following services:
- Genève Aéroport, Operations Division
- Genève Aéroport, Security Division
- Genève Aéroport, Technical Division
- Skyguide Technical Service
We would remind you that individuals are not authorized to drive a vehicle of a type other than the one for which they have a driving licence.
Training
The airport, in partnership with Skyguide,runs a two-day training course that is held 4 times a year. The course dates are available on request at permis@gva.ch.
P-type driving permits ("permis P") are a partnership between Genève Aéroport and Skyguide; training costs are therefore invoiced between services by Skyguide or by Genève Aéroport.
Registration
Pre-registration is required. To register, fill out the registration form
and send it to your line manager at permis@gva.ch.
Registration deadline: 1 week before the course starts.
When your registration has been OK’d by the Operations Division, you will receive a confirmation email for the requested course.
When you attend the course you must bring:
- a readable and valid copy of your civilian driver's licence,
- your Airport ID card with a T-type driving permit ("permis T"),
- something to write with.
The course will be held on every scheduled date.
