[23rd November, 05-2230z] Geneva Real Operating Hours

[Hisham Omar]

The mountainous lands of Switzerland definitely have a lot to offer to the world of aviation, with its dramatic landscape, packed airspaces, and a rich history steeped in aeronautical pedigree. But experiencing them through the same typical evening lens might get repetitive for some. For those wishing for more variety in form and forum, we have exactly what you need.

Our signature "Geneva Real Operating Hours" is back again for it's 9th anniversary on the 23rd of November 2025 with Geneva (LSGG) fully covered from the crisp foggy morning hours of 05:00z to the cusp of midnight at 22:30z!


Brave the cold weather and low clouds for a morning flight that is sure to put your flying skills and your plane's instruments to the test, and enjoy the stunning sights of the mountain peaks as they thaw in the morning's golden sun. Hear the frequencies springing to life, watch the aircraft multiplying, and witness the Romandie's beating heart spring into action at the call of its many fans.

As the day goes on, regale in the spectacle of busy skies and professional handling as Geneva's notability makes for a situation as demanding as it is rewarding. Enjoy an afternoon tea in your cockpit as the weather clears and makes way for the deluge of fliers eager to set foot on this unique airport.

With the ILS brightening the darkening sky, the operatic crescendo of planes yields to a fevered pitch of traffic, a true symphony of superb service taming the din of busy stations and stacked holdings. Backlit by the remnants of a stunning sunset, watch the magic of our controller's skills unfold until the final bow and coup de grace at closing time. But be sure to prepare for long delays or diversions in case this event falls victim to its own success.


The stage is set for this most dramatic and memorable of performances, with Geneva eager to take the spotlight. So ready your aircraft, load your extra fuel, prepare your procedures, and join us on the 23rd of November for a day you will not soon forget.
