Madrid to Geneva: 1,011 km, roughly 1 h 29 min on the Aviapages calculator for a Bombardier Challenger 350, Barajas to Geneva. In winter many of these flights are the first step to the Alps. Our floor for the whole aircraft one way is €5 800 on the light-jet class, and the sum is shown in full. Phone +357 95 119759 any time; a written offer comes back within 30 minutes.
From the Castilian plateau to the edge of the Alps in about an hour and a half.
REQUEST A QUOTENorthbound to Switzerland: a business trip for some, the start of a ski week for others. Geneva is the road head for many Alpine resorts, which makes winter weekends the busy time on this direction.

A capital-city departure and a frontier arrival. At the Geneva end, it helps to know where your car is going.
| Airport | Codes | Role | Why it is on this list |
|---|---|---|---|
| Madrid Barajas | MAD / LEMD | departure | Four long runways, 3,500 to 4,350 m, and business aviation handled separately from the airline terminals, so boarding is quick. |
| Geneva | GVA / LSGG | arrival | Runway 04/22, 3,900 m. Geneva has both a Swiss and a French sector; if you are heading for a French resort, say so, as it can shorten the road part of the journey. |
Any light jet can do this distance, which is why the floor uses the light-jet rate. For a ski party, though, the hold usually decides: skis and boots for six take space.
Eight to ten seats and a generous hold, a sensible choice for a group with winter luggage.
Falcon 2000 ›Eight or nine seats; the reference type for the calculated time on this route.
Challenger 350 ›Six to eight seats. The light-jet class behind our floor, fine for a smaller party with modest bags.
Phenom 300 ›Seat bands come from our partner operators' aircraft pages. Tell us about skis and other bulky items at enquiry; they change which aircraft we propose.
From €5 800 one way for the whole aircraft, our own floor on the light-jet class: the 89-minute flight is billed at the two-hour minimum, and 2 × 2,900 EUR/h, the published "from" rate, gives 5,800.
This is the lowest honest figure we can print for the route, not a typical one. The super-midsize jets that most often fly here start from a higher class rate, and winter Saturdays into Geneva are rarely the cheapest days of the year.
If you are going skiing, consider flying on a weekday. The aircraft and the handling at Geneva are both easier outside the Saturday changeover.
The hourly rates are a broker's published figures for aircraft classes, reproduced so that a quotation can be checked. They are not our price for Madrid to Geneva. Call +357 95 119759, 24/7.
GET A FIRM PRICEFrom Geneva the roads run to Chamonix, Megeve and Verbier, among others. For a ski trip the flight is only half of the journey, and the arrival time should leave enough daylight for the drive.
In summer the pattern changes: more business travel, and visitors to the lake and the mountains. The route itself is the same, but the aircraft are easier to find.
The short Alpine hop for those who would rather not drive.
