Airport

  • What documents are required to travel by plane?

    That depends on your nationality and your destination. For any questions relating to passports, identity cards and visas, please contact a travel agent, the airline concerned, or the International Police directly.

    Genève Aéroport is unable to provide this information.

    • Information

  • How do I get a temporary Swiss passport for my journey?

    Swiss passengers can obtain a temporary passport valid only for the duration of a journey. Conditions, procedures, information:

    • Obtain a temporary passport (emergency)

    Attention: A temporary passport will not be issued if the passport was forgotten at home.

  • I would like to have a coffee in the transit area with a friend who is leaving for a Schengen destination, while I am going to the United States. Is this possible?

    Yes, because the transit area is a common area. The Schengen/non-Schengen passenger flows will only be separated closer to the gates.

  • I am not a citizen of a Schengen area country, but I am going to a Schengen country. What rule applies?

    It is the destination that matters, not your nationality.

  • Can someone who is not taking a plane have access to to the shops located in the transit area, since systematic identity checks will be done away with?

    No, only passengers have access to the transit area.

  • Can I leave on the Swiss side with a Schengen visa issued by France?

    Yes, a passenger may exit on the Swiss/international side with a Schengen visa issued by France.

  • Can I leave on the French side directly if I arrive on an international flight if I have only a Schengen visa limited to France?

    No, direct exit to France is possible only if you come from a flight from France.

  • Is an identity document (card or passport) needed if I fly from the French sector to France?

    Yes, a valid identity document is required.

  • With the entry of Switzerland into the Schengen area, what will happen to the French sector of the airport?

    The French sector is still operational despite the entry of Switzerland into the Schengen area. This is because customs controls remain in place.

  • At what age must children have identity documents
    to take a plane?

    That depends on each airline. Please contact your travel agency or your airline, which will tell you.

  • As a traveller in the Schengen area, what happens to the data processed during my travels?

    For information related to the processing of your personal data during your trips in the Schengen area, we invite you to consult «Schengen… and your personal data» issued by the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner.
