Edit - I spoke with my company's handlings agents at both airports, the one at Geneva spoke directly with the RFF; they confirmed that runway foam was operational at Geneva/Istanbul. You learn something new everyday!!
I forgot to mention the Turkish airports in my previous message. A foam laying truck should be in service at Ankara airport (
see specs). I don't know about Istanbul.
