Where passengers from Zurich and Geneva fly

The comparison starts in 2017, after a method change. Basel-Mulhouse, regional airports and the national total are excluded because final-destination coverage is incomplete. Connections booked on separate tickets cannot be followed beyond the first ticket. This is not flight availability or ticket-price data.

Final destination The place where a passenger's journey by air ends. The final destination can be reached via a direct flight (a single-stage air journey) or after one or more transfers. Only airports and countries for which at least 10,000 passengers in total were recorded for at least one of the years available in this dataset are shown separately. Airports and countries with fewer passengers are grouped under ‘Other airports’ and ‘Other countries’. Local passengers Local passengers begin or end their journey by air at the airport concerned. 2016 change of method Change of method due to the adaptation of IT systems and improved algorithms. The comparability of data from 2016 onwards with data from previous years is subject to some minor limitations. Note on current status of data All figures according to the current status of the databases. Minor subsequent adjustments cannot be excluded. Note on data quality The figures on local passengers by final destination combine data from several databases. This can lead to minor imprecisions, which are proportionally more pronounced for airports with lower passenger volumes. At airports with few or no transfer passengers, the imprecisions can also mean that the reported passenger figures might be slightly higher than in the figures on flight destinations ( Air passengers on scheduled and charter flights ), although this latter dataset includes data on both local and transfer passengers. It is not possible to include connecting flights that are issued on separate tickets in the statistical data. In such cases, the final destination recorded is the one listed on the first ticket. In 2016, due to changes in source data delivery and adaptation of IT systems, it must be assumed that for some passengers flying out of Geneva and Basel, the connecting hub was recorded as the final destination instead of the passenger's real final destination. For Basel-Mulhouse and the regional airports, only very partial data on passengers' final destinations has been available since 2017, which is why no corresponding figures are reported for these airports. In the total, the flight destination (destination of the aircraft boarded by the passengers at the airports in question) were used as final destinations in cases where data was missing.
