About Geneva airport and the French sector

Geneva international airport (GVA) is located just over two miles of the city of Geneva itself and serves as the main transportation hub for the country of Switzerland, and also supplies a convenient transportation option into France. Geneva airport runs along the Swiss-French border and is divided accordingly - with a French and Swiss sector. The airport was originally divided in such a manner to allow passengers travelling into France and French territories to avoid Swiss customs and any delays that may have been caused here. With Switzerland's integration into the Schengen Area in 2008 this division no longer makes too much of a difference - with the division now being more symbolic and historic than practical. Passengers flying into either sector of the airport are free to choose to rent from our office on the French side and can be on their way in no time. Once you land, follow signs for 'destination France' and cross the customs hall to find us next to the Air France and KLM ticket desks.
