Geneva, Switzerland
Chartering a private jet to Geneva means reaching one of the world's major financial centres and, in the same move, the gateway to the Alps. Home to the IBC Aviation group's headquarters, the city combines banking, watchmaking, institutions and direct access to the finest ski resorts. Its airport is among Europe's leading hubs for business aviation.
Why charter a private jet to Geneva?
Geneva brings together a rare density of headquarters, private banks, international organisations and luxury watchmaking. To this business clientele is added, in winter, the flow towards the Alpine resorts. The private jet answers this dual use: flexibility, discretion and boarding in fifteen minutes, at the chosen time.
Our teams select from our fleet the aircraft suited to the distance and the number of passengers, and coordinate all ground logistics.
Geneva Airport (GVA) and its business terminal
Around 4 km from the centre, Geneva Airport (GVA / LSGG), still known as Cointrin, has the longest runway in Switzerland, 3,900 m, open to every type of aircraft, up to ultra-long-range jets. Its dedicated business terminal (Terminal 3) brings together FBOs, private lounges and customs and immigration formalities away from commercial flows.
A stronghold of business aviation, Geneva hosts EBACE each year, one of Europe's leading events in the sector.
Geneva, gateway to the Alps
From Geneva, the great resorts are within immediate reach, by helicopter or road: Courchevel, Megève, Verbier, Gstaad or Chamonix. The city is thus the natural starting point for a ski stay, as a continuation of a private flight.
Between meetings, the harbour, the Jet d'Eau and the old town offer an interlude on the shores of Lake Geneva.
