They said my baggage was in Athens...

Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Geneva’s international airport has grown 40 percent. It showed off its new extensions 26 October. New areas for arrivals and baggage handling, a newly refurbished and centralized security process prior to departure, and more restaurants and shopping space will keep the airport competitive.

“The airport is the region’s economic lungs. Our prosperity and our status as an international city depend on its modernization, which has only just begun,” said François Longchamp, chairman of the airport’s board of directors.

Moritz Leuenberger, the Swiss federal councillor for transport, said he was a contented transport minister:  he is invited to give speeches at tunnel and motorway openings all over the country, he said, where he is thanked in the name of the government.  He said he was very happy to be present yesterday at the inauguration because the airport’s refurbishment hadn’t cost him a centime.

The work took three years and roughly CHF100 million. The modernization is part of a 10-year programme called Geneva+ to be completed in 2015, which will totally transform the airport. The airport announced free Wifi access throughout the airport at the beginning of October.
