Despite an overall decline in business aviation traffic at Geneva Airport, fixed-base operator Geneva Airpark reported an uptick in new clients and aircraft housed last year. The number of new clients jumped by 18 percent last year and the number of based aircraft increased by 6.4 percent , to 204, over the year, Geneva Airpark announced today. These increases came even though business aviation traffic at the airport dipped by 1.2 percent year-over-year, the facility noted.


Occupancy rate at Geneva Airpark averaged 93 percent, or 9,300 sq m/100,104 sq ft occupied out of 10,000 sq m/107,639 sq ft of total available parking space. The FBO averaged 17 aircraft per day.


New clients, meanwhile, represented 32 percent of the company’s active business on a daily basis, Geneva Airpark said. More than 20 percent of its new clients in 2015 have continued to use the facility, the company said, adding, “These figures reflect the interest for our tailor-made solutions and the quality and precision of our services from a non-Geneva-based clientele that is difficult to retain.”

New developments at FBOs including regulations and noise issues; legal disputes; openings, acquisitions and mergers.
