Geneva Airport CAP2030 project: An intermodal travel hub of the future

Join us for an exclusive look into the future of air travel with André Schneider, CEO of Geneva Airport, as he unveils the ground-breaking CAP2030 project.

In this insightful video, Schneider discusses the ambitious plans to replace Terminal 1, originally built in 1968 for just 5 million passengers, as it struggles to accommodate the 18 million passengers it reached before the COVID-19 crisis.

Discover the innovative strategies behind this massive undertaking, set to begin in 2026 and conclude in 2032.

Schneider delves into the challenges of constructing a new terminal while keeping the airport fully operational, and the visionary design that includes a state-of-the-art bus-train-car-bike-airplane interchange with a railway station situated beneath the bus terminal.

Learn how this development aims to increase the proportion of passengers arriving by public transport and bike from 50% to 58% by 2030, supported by enhanced train services and SWISS airlines’ integrated air-rail tickets.

Additionally, hear about Genève Aéroport’s ongoing efforts to minimise noise emissions through financial incentives for airlines to adopt the latest-generation aircraft. In 2023, these newer, quieter airliners and charters accounted for over 32% of movements, up from 25% the previous year.

Watch André Schneider speak passionately about the airport’s decarbonisation strategy and its commitment to a sustainable future.

Finally, André discusses the EU Entry/Exit System which is due to come into effect this year.

This video is a must-watch for anyone interested in the future of airports as intermodal transport hubs and airport leadership.
