There is also a web link to some 100+ questions related to Geneva Airport and personally answered by Jeff.
Asked why he decided to develop an app for Geneva Airport, Jeff told knowitall.ch, “I first used Geneva Airport in 2004, not long after moving to the region. Since then I have used the airport just about every year and during that time have taken so many notes that it seemed a waste not to collate all the information and make it accessible to the general public in a format that could be easily used."
He added, “I am the owner/webmaster of more than 45 web sites, mostly about airports. Since I was such a frequent user of Geneva Airport, it seemed obvious to me that I should combine the knowledge I have gained traveling through this airport with my web skills to create a site and an app that would prove useful to the local community."
Geneva Airport: The Unofficial Guide is also available for kindle and as an ebook.
If you browse through the app, you will find the following information:
- Detailed airport access information – car, bus, train, taxi, coach & bike.
