Airport

  • Departure: destination information

    Test, COVID certificate: what are the risks and restrictions at my destination?

    At least 48 hours before my departure, I should be aware of the conditions of entry applicable at my destination:

    • European Union
    • Great Britain
    • Turkey

    Travel advice for other countries of the world:

    • for Swiss residents
    • for French residents

    The website www.traveldoc.aero also provides information on the current travel conditions and constraints depending on the airport of departure and arrival.

    I want to go to France, what are the formalities?

    I want to know the conditions to enter France.

    The procedures from or to a foreign country differ according to the vaccination of travellers and the health situation in the country of departure. In order to facilitate border crossings and save time, French customs ask passengers travelling to France from countries classified as "red" to pre-enter the required form on their mobile phone. 

    I live in France, I fly to France via the French sector, do I need to present a COVID test / certificate?

    From a health point of view, the French sector is considered as Swiss territory. If you fly from Geneva to France, even via the French sector, the airline will check when you board that you meet the current French travel requirements.

    Currently (valid on 31.03.2022), in order to enter France from Switzerland, all passengers over 12 years of age must, upon boarding, provide either proof of a complete vaccination course or the negative result of a PCR test less than 72 hours old or of an antigenic test carried out less than 48 hours before departure.

  • Departure: flight information

    How do I know if my flight to or from Geneva is maintained or cancelled?

    At least 48 hours before my departure, I check the conditions established by my airline:

    • easyJet
    • SWISS
    • Other airlines

    If I want to know if my flight is maintained the day before or on the same day, I consult the page Departures of the day.

    Is it compulsory to wear a mask in the air?

    Some airlines impose the mask on board their planes. Please check with your airline before departure.

    Which destinations are served from Geneva and with which airlines?

    To facilitate your search for information, please consult the page www.gva.ch/vols-directs which will inform you of the current destinations from Genève Aéroport.

    Since 2 May 2022, entry into Switzerland is possible under the usual conditions. The existing entry restrictions have been lifted

    How do I know if I can enter Switzerland and under what conditions?

    All sanitary measures (vaccination certificate, entry form, etc.) to enter Switzerland are cancelled.

    I am a passenger wishing to rent a car at Genève Aéroport before returning to France, is this possible?

    It is possible to rent a car at the airport in the French sector. Only passengers with a valid flight ticket for the current day (+/-1 day) are allowed to transfer between the international and French sectors and vice versa. Otherwise, to access car rental counters in the French sector, you must use the road (car, taxi, etc.), passing through the Ferney-Voltaire customs. Pedestrians and bicycles are not allowed to use the customs road.

    I make sure that I meet the conditions to enter France in order to be able to reach France.

    I am a passenger arriving at Genève Aéroport, can I exit from the France sector, take the customs road towards France and thus avoid Swiss measures?

    Even if you go through the French sector, you will have to go through Swiss formalities on the plane as your destination is Geneva. On arrival, you can then pass through the French sector, take the customs route and reach France. You will need to ensure that you meet the conditions to enter France.

    • Consult the thematic FAQs Sector France

    • Consult the website of the State Secretariat for Migration (SEM)

    I am a returning passenger, I would like to rent a car in Geneva before returning to Europe, is this possible?

    Yes, it is possible to arrive by plane in Geneva, rent a car at the airport before leaving immediately for Europe. Passengers who enter Switzerland only to cross it with the intention and possibility of continuing their journey to another country are transit passengers.

    • Other airlines

The plan is based on the Federal Council’s epidemiological and health guidelines as well as on aviation-specific recommendations from the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) and the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). The Federal Office of Civil Aviation (FOCA) is responsible for ensuring that the relevant rules are correctly applied.
