Dakar O&D is about 25k for GVA, about 32k for LYS. But GVA revenues are higher, better yield. When it comes to economic and diplomatic links between Lake Geneva region, they are obvious. UN activities and related, large commodity and food sector (oil, agriculture). The leaders in this sector are...

Here are the projects planned by GVA airports.
Gva generates double the P2P revenue of dublin or Brussels, with 10% more pax than dublin and 20% more than Brussels. It is the 6th busiest route in Europe in terms of revenue among served and unserved routes, and 16th in terms of pax. But no star alliance hub and yes not the volume to Australia tha...

Jump to postGeneva is not a leisure destination, 80pct of its hosts are here for business. It is not a hub, so it has no transfer traffic, only local.

For a start, Zurich is connected daily with Swiss. So this market is quite well covered. KQ has not served ZRH for a very very long time. Back then it was very much focused on tourist flow.

Zurich has a good link to Boston, and Basel is very close to Zurich (one hour by train).

Close to 80% load factor in July, split quite evenly between MXP and GVA overall, but with GVA taking the majority (close to 60%) of the business class seats. In a recent interview, ET is talking about increasing frequency to 4x, possibly 5x weekly fairly soon.

Nothing new here, but this is how it should look like at the end.
The airport says it will be delivered on time. It is not a concrete building but a giant assembled mecano. Seems that the elements are now being delivered and the assembly should not take too long. All the foundation work and digging has been completed. 2 years to go to mid / end 2020 the expected i...

Jump to postNot an argument... that was over 20 years ago... Air Canada tried, stopped, started again and it worked. This being said, rather see CX or SQ coming to GVA than TG. Germany is really restrictive with MEB3, may explain Hamburg. This is not the case for GVA.

And it did close all day. Started to reopen by 11am.
They tried GVA 2011 - 2012. Flights were operated 2 or 3 times a week in a BBJ 737-700 operated by PrivatAir. Flights were dropped due to low demand. They tried MXP and dropped it as well, dropped everything in fact. It was in the middle of the Arab Spring, tanks in the street does not help. In my ...

Jump to postThe Belgrade route lives on ethnic traffic. The vast majority of the Immigration from the Balkans in Switzerland in in the German part. The immigration in the French part is mostly from Portugal / Spain. Hence massive traffic flows to Porto / Lisbon, more than what Zurich drives in terms of O&D.
Jump to postThis is mostly ethnic traffic, not really sensitive to frequencies. The bulk of the Balkan immigration is Switzerland is in the German part (the French part attracting more immigration from the the Iberic peninsula). If it had not been Air Serbia replacing EZY it would have been Wizz Air or Swiss.
