As you may know the world’s leaders are heading to Evian in a fortnight for a little shindig which risks impacting transport in the region. In 2003 it was the G8 in Evian which had zero effect on my life at the time as I was busy dealing with two under-3’s in an unprecedented heatwave. This year it is the G7 as Putin has been kicked off the Whatsapp chat group and it is being held the 15th, 16th and 17th June. Major transport disruption is forecast in the Geneva-Léman-Bas Chablais area from 10-19th June and we will be taking this into serious consideration when organising your airport transfers.
What can we expect?
-Systematic controls at road border crossings
- More traffic travelling through the 7 main border crossings due to the other smaller border crossings being closed.
- Congestion, VIP motorcade interruptions and rerouted traffic around the airport on main access roads.
- Temporary airspace restrictions which should not affect commercial flights directly, but this could mean slot restrictions, delays and tighter security in the airport.
- Anti G7 demos in Geneva City centre causing road closures and rerouting (at the time of writing this is planned on June 14th on the right bank/United nations side of the city)
What are we doing about this?
- I am monitoring all local news sites and official French and Swiss channels of information.
- Departures during the G7 dates will be brought forward significantly from our standard pick up times
- As always at Transport Citadelle – communication with our clients is the key.
So please don’t shoot the messenger. I too believe this shindig could be easily conducted on Teams instead of disrupting our little corner of the world.
