A new terminal was opened at Geneva Airport on Monday October 26th. After three years of construction work the terminal was unveiled as the initial part of an airport revamp costing up to two hundred and fifty million dollars.
The new terminal means that Geneva Airport will now be bale to cater for forty percent more passengers. The minister for transport Mr. Leuenberger spoke at Monday’s opening of how the project had not cost the taxpayer a single cent. Senator Longchamp was also on hand to lend his support calling the expansion the most significant at the airport in over forty years.
Next up a brand new eight hundred and fifty metre wing is to be constructed for those traveling on long distance flights. Geneva Airport is currently the second busiest in Switzerland with over eleven and a half million passengers annually. Zurich Airport is still well out in front with over twenty million passengers passing through their doors in 2008.
