About Geneva Airport
Geneva Airport (LSGG), formerly known as Cointirin Airport, with 15 million passenger traffic annually. It serves as the main hub for Swiss International Air Lines and easyJet Switzerland. The airport is connected to a wide range of international hubs around the world, with some long-haul routes to America, the Middle East, China or Africa.
The airport was opened in 1919 and was mostly used by Lufthansa, which operated routes to Barcelona via Halle, Leipzig and Marseille. The former flagship airline Swissair operated Geneva-Lyon-Paris route as well, back in those times. By 1930, there were six major airlines that operated to or from this airport.
