With 20,000 square meters (215,000 sq ft) of facilities near Terminal C3 at Geneva Airport (adjacent to Palexpo), Geneva Airpark (Booth X070) offers a comprehensive range of services for private and business aircraft. Since first opening for the hosting of business aircraft in 2009, and the addition of extra services from 2012, the Geneva Airpark has experienced dramatic growth as the airport has become the second busiest business aviation airport in Europe after Paris Le Bourget, ranked on average number of daily flights.

Geneva Airpark offers occasional, regular and annual sheltering options and has seen growth in all areas. Occasional hosting services climbed by 40 percent in 2014, while annual contract services rose by eight percent. Occasional contract accommodation was up by 25 percent, with 124 aircraft sheltered during the year taking up 600 days of covered parking.

Currently the Airpark has 30 aircraft based there on annual contracts. On average the hangarage contained 17 aircraft at any one time, while the facility handled 4,500 movements during the year. Around 40 new clients joined the Geneva Airpark roster in 2014. As well as sheltered and ramp parking for aircraft, the facility offers a wide range of support for crews and operators, such as aircraft cleaning and servicing/replenishment, and passenger transportation.
