In 2022, Genève Aéroport generated a revenue of 423.1 million Swiss francs and a net profit of 46.3 million Swiss francs after transferring the contribution to the State of Geneva. Genève Aéroport generates both aeronautical and non-aeronautical revenues, which enable it to maintain its infrastructure and finance its investments.

These commitments are translated into concrete solutions. For example, Genève Aéroport has committed to powering all of its infrastructure with 100% renewable energy by 2027. The facilities will be connected to the GeniLac ecological thermal network, which captures water from Lake Geneva at a depth of 45 meters, at an average temperature of 7 degrees. Transported through underground pipes to the airport, it provides cooling for the buildings in summer. In winter, with the addition of heat pumps, the system produces heating.
