Geneva, and the Alps ninety minutes beyond it

Geneva Cointrin has four private terminals with customs on both the Swiss and French sides, fifteen minutes from the lakefront and the private banks. It is the gateway to the western Alps as much as to the city: Courchevel, Verbier and Gstaad are within two hours by car or twenty to thirty minutes by helicopter from the ramp, and Sion or Chambéry bring the resorts closer in winter. The airport closes at 10 pm and winter Saturdays are slot-controlled, so we book the slot and the helicopter with the flight.

Super-midsize jets from Dubai and New York refuel once, adding about an hour; a heavy jet flies either leg non-stop from about $60,000. Sion and Chambéry take light and midsize jets only, so the largest cabins land at Geneva and finish by helicopter.

  3. Easter The end of the season The last big ski weekend; a shorter peak than February.

On the ground in Geneva

Passport details go ahead, Swiss customs clears you in the private terminal on whichever side suits your onward journey, and the helicopter to the mountains or the car to the lakefront is arranged in the same conversation as the flight.

01

Immigration and customs

Swiss border control and customs are cleared inside the private terminal, on either the Swiss or the French side depending on your onward destination. Most nationalities enter visa-free or with a Schengen visa.

02

Travelling with a pet

Pets travel in the cabin. Entering Switzerland, a dog or cat needs a microchip, rabies vaccination and an EU pet passport or health certificate; we arrange it with the handler.

03

The car

A chauffeured car meets the aircraft on the ramp at Geneva Cointrin or whichever airport you land at, and the driver knows the private terminal, not the commercial one.

Each route has its own page: flight time, the airports at both ends, the aircraft that suit the leg and an indicative price.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a private jet to Geneva cost?

It depends where you leave from. Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about €5,500 from Milan in a light jet, about €7,000 from Paris, about €10,000 from London, about $43,000 from Dubai and about $52,000 from New York in a super-midsize jet with one stop. Repositioning, overnight parking and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.

Which airport should I use for a private jet to Geneva?

Geneva Cointrin for the city and for Verbier, Megève, Chamonix and Gstaad, fifteen minutes from the lakefront with customs on the Swiss and French sides. Sion for Verbier, Crans-Montana and Zermatt in a light or midsize jet. Chambéry for Courchevel, Méribel and Val d'Isère from December to April. Each is described above with its drive time and handling agents.

Can I charter a jet to Geneva the same day?

From anywhere in Europe, usually yes: a light jet from London, Paris, Nice or Milan can often depart within a few hours, as long as it lands before the airport closes at 10 pm. From New York or Dubai, twenty-four hours is the realistic minimum because of crew duty times, though we have done it faster.

How long is a private jet flight to Geneva?

About 45 minutes from Milan, about 55 minutes from Nice, about 1 hour 5 from Paris, about 1 hour 30 from London, about 6 hours 45 from Dubai and about 7 and a half hours from New York. A super-midsize jet from Dubai or New York adds about an hour for a fuel stop; a heavy jet flies non-stop.

Do I need a visa to land in Geneva by private jet?

Switzerland is in the Schengen area. Border control and customs are cleared inside the private terminal, on either the Swiss or the French side depending on where you are heading. Most nationalities enter visa-free or with a Schengen visa; we confirm what you need when we book and send passport details to the handler in advance.

When is Geneva hardest to fly into?

Christmas and New Year in the Alps, when Saturday slots are allocated in October; the four February half-term weekends; Easter; Watches and Wonders in April, when the ramp fills with corporate aircraft; and the Montreux Jazz Festival in July. On those dates we book the slot with the flight and hold Sion or Chambéry as the fallback for the mountains.

Can I pay for the charter with crypto?

Yes. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted. Tell us your preferred coin and we confirm the network and payment instructions with the contract.

Where would you like to fly?

Tell us what you have in mind. Our team will take care of the charter arrangements and discuss crypto payment if you prefer.
