After breaking through the ceiling of eleven million passengers for the first time in its history, in early December, Geneva International Airport quite naturally recorded a new absolute record number of visits in 2008, with nearly 11'530'000 passengers, an increase of 5.7% compared with 2007 and a sizeable figure given the current economic climate. 2009 got off to a good start, because for the weekend of 3 and 4 January 2009, GVA welcomed more than 110'000 passengers - the second highest peak in its history.

The total number of movements (takeoffs and landings) was 190'000: an increase of 1.5%, which means that commercial flights were particularly well filled.
