The parts people get wrong. Each one links to where we checked it.
Fixed fare
The airport's own site states a unireso zone-10 ticket covers this trip for CHF 3, and separately that the airport offers a CHF 10 discount voucher on any train ticket to or from Geneva Airport as part of a sustainable-mobility programme - two different discounts that should not be confused with each other.

Hours
Up to seven trains an hour run this short hop at peak times, mixing ordinary SBB InterCity (IC1) services passing through and the dedicated Léman Express cross-border network, both of which stop at the airport station and both of which reach Cornavin without a change.

Easy to get wrong
Léman Express is not an SBB brand: it is legally operated by Lémanis SA, a joint venture founded in 2017 and held 60% by SBB/CFF and 40% by SNCF, so its own timetable and marketing are run jointly rather than by SBB alone.
