Continuing our legs in Europe this week. 

We’re leaving Václav Havel Airport just outside of Prague which has it’s history steeped in World War 2 and heading to Geneva. 

✈️ LSGG: Destination Overview

Geneva Airport sits at the southwestern tip of Lake Geneva, nestled between the stunning Alps to the south and the rolling Jura Mountains to the northwest, offering pilots breathtaking mountain vistas during clear weather approaches. The airport's unique location right on the Swiss-French border means you'll experience some of Europe's most complex airspace, with departures and arrivals coordinated between Swiss and French controllers as aircraft transition between the two countries' airspace. Expect challenging wind conditions due to the lake and mountain effects, particularly during winter months, while the spectacular Alpine scenery makes every approach a visual treat even when flying on instruments.

⭐ Interesting Fact
Geneva Airport is one of the few major international airports where the runway actually crosses an international border, with aircraft movements requiring coordination between Swiss and French air traffic control authorities. The airport's southern approach path takes pilots directly over the heart of Geneva city and along Lake Geneva, providing stunning views of the famous Jet d'Eau water fountain and the surrounding Alpine peaks of Mont Blanc on clear days.
