In 2025, Genève Aéroport posted a net profit of 52.9 million francs after transferring half of its profits to the State of Geneva, the airport’s owner. In 2024, the net profit after transfer stood at 55.2 million Swiss francs. This result is satisfactory against a backdrop of very moderate traffic growth, controlled and managed operating costs, and increased investment.
With 17.85 million passengers and passenger numbers returning to a level close to that of 2019 (-0.4% compared to 2019 and +0.3% compared to 2024), Genève Aéroport’s turnover increased by 1% compared to 2024 to reach 539 million francs. For the record, pre-COVID revenue in 2019 amounted to 493.9 million francs. In 2025, aviation revenue accounted for 65.2% of total revenue, up 2.2% compared to 2024. Non-aviation revenue (retail, car parks, rents, etc.), down by 1.1%, accounted for 34.8% of total revenue.
Thanks to a controlled and managed increase in operating costs, Genève Aéroport maintains a high level of profitability. The operating margin before interest, taxes and depreciation (EBITDA) stands at over 39%: 39.2% in 2025 compared with 39.6% in 2024.
Investments amount to CHF 110 million in 2025, an increase compared to 2024, despite the delay in the start of the multimodal hub and terminal refurbishment project.
Thanks to the profits recorded in recent years, Genève Aéroport is rigorously pursuing its debt reduction process. Net debt has fallen from 773 million francs in 2021 to 444.5 million francs by the end of 2025. With a debt ratio (net debt/EBITDA) of 2.1x by the end of 2025, Genève Aéroport is perfectly on track to meet its targets. The target debt ratio of 2x is expected to be achieved by 2028 at the latest, enabling the company to confidently implement its investment plan to adapt infrastructure by 2040.
As at 31 December 2025, the company had 1,088 employees, representing 1,027 FTEs (full-time equivalents), compared with 1,079 employees as at 31 December 2024.
More passengers and fewer movements
In 2025, Genève Aéroport welcomed 17,848,370 passengers, an increase of 0.3% compared with 2024. The total number of landings and take-offs reached 177,288 movements, a decrease of 1% compared with 2024. The trend already observed the previous year – namely, growth in passenger numbers coupled with a reduction in aircraft movements – was even more pronounced in 2025. Explanations: larger-capacity aircraft, an increased number of passengers per aircraft and a rising load factor.
For several years now, Genève Aéroport has been using financial incentives to encourage airlines to prioritize the latest aircraft, which are quieter and more fuel-efficient. In 2025, the proportion of movements operated by Class 5 aircraft rose from 31.85% to 34.04%.
Success of the new noise quota system
Genève Aéroport is continuing its efforts to reduce noise pollution, particularly at night. On 1 January 2025, following a trial phase in 2024, a quota system was introduced featuring heavily dissuasive charges for exceeding quotas on late take-offs after 10 pm. Discussed with all airlines operating evening flights, this programme led to a 36.2% reduction in take-offs after 10 pm in 2024. In 2025, the formal implementation of this new system led to a further 24.6% reduction in take-offs. In two years, the number of take-offs after 10 pm has been reduced by more than 50%.
Reduction in CO₂ emissions
Genève Aéroport is pursuing an ambitious program to reduce CO
2 emissions within its scope (Scopes 1 and 2). Thanks to improved energy management, and despite growing demand since the commissioning of the East Wing and the new baggage sorting system, Genève Aéroport is accelerating its decarbonization efforts. The airport has reduced its consumption of fossil fuel-based heating by 52% compared to 2019. This trend accelerated sharply in 2025, with a 32% decrease compared to 2024, compared to 12% between 2024 and 2023. Furthermore, Genève Aéroport is continuing a program to reduce its vehicle fleet wherever possible and is taking decisive action towards electrification (replacing combustion-engine vehicles). In 2025, 45% of all vehicles across the entire site (including partners) were electric. As part of its strategy, Genève Aéroport is aiming for a 90% share of electric vehicles by 2030.
147 destinations: London leads the way
Genève Aéroport’s network, which comprised 146 destinations in 2024, remains extensive with 147 destinations in 2025. In terms of intercontinental routes, an additional service to Shanghai has been added, operated by China Eastern using a latest-generation aircraft, the A350-900, resulting in very positive effects in terms of passenger and cargo traffic.
The market shares of the top five airlines for the past year are as follows: easyJet (46.0%), SWISS (12.4%), British Airways (4.4%), Air France (3.2%) and Iberia (2.9%). The top five destinations by city are London, Porto, Lisbon, Paris and Amsterdam. The top non-European destination is Dubai (15th place).
