Thanks to higher passenger and traffic volumes as well as fee adjustments, turnover rose by around 9 percent overall to CHF 533.7 million, as the airport operator announced on Tuesday. Net profit even climbed by almost 25 percent to 110.4 million francs.
In addition to higher fees for the airlines, the airport also attributes this to good cost control. As in previous years and also in 2023, the airport will transfer half of its net profit to the canton of Geneva.
The number of passengers was already known. In Geneva, these grew by just under 8 percent last year to almost 17.8 million. It was therefore almost back to the pre-pandemic level (-0.9% compared to 2019). The freight segment saw particularly strong growth. Cargo handled rose by a good 39% to 92,615 tons.
As in the previous year, the most important airlines remained easyJet with a share of just under 47% of total traffic, followed by Swiss with a share of just over 12%. The top five destinations by city were London, Porto, Lisbon, Paris and Amsterdam. The first destination outside Europe is Dubai in 14th place.
