First-time private flyers buy comfort. The ones who come back buy the six hours they pocket every time: no queues, no connections, no night in a hotel because the last flight left at 18:40.
How much runway you need, how far you fly without stopping, how many bags actually fit, and whether you can stand up in the cabin. Everything else is furniture.
6–9 seats · up to 3,000 km · 800 m runway
The most underrated aircraft on the market, and where the runway is short often the only one possible: the alpine altiports, Saanen in winter, Annecy with its 1,598 metres. It gets in where jets cannot, burns far less, and under two hours of flying the time difference is minimal.
Pilatus PC-12 NGX · Beechcraft King Air 350
4–5 seats · up to 2,200 km · 950 m runway
The cheapest way onto a jet. Two people and one bag each, short sectors, a basic lavatory. On Milan–Geneva, Turin–Chambéry or Geneva–Paris it does its job without apologising. With ski bags, it does not.
Citation Mustang · Phenom 100 · HondaJet
6–8 seats · up to 3,700 km · 1,000 m runway
The category that answers most of the requests we get, in Italy and across Europe. It covers the whole continent without a stop, lands almost anywhere, and with six people on board it gives the best return for what it costs.
Phenom 300E · Citation CJ3+ · PC-24 · Learjet 75
7–10 seats · up to 6,500 km · 1,200 m runway
You move up for three reasons, never for prestige: the sector runs over two and a half hours, there are more than six passengers with real luggage, or you need an enclosed lavatory and enough privacy to work on board.
Citation XLS+ · Praetor 500 · Challenger 350 · Gulfstream G280
10–14 seats · up to 11,000 km · 1,600 m runway
You can stand up, you can genuinely sleep, and the group can split into two zones without sitting on top of each other. This is the category for medium-haul and for large groups with a lot of luggage.
Falcon 900LX · Challenger 650 · Legacy 650 · Gulfstream G450
13–19 seats · over 12,000 km · 1,800 m runway
Intercontinental non-stop, with proper beds and a lower cabin altitude so you arrive less tired. One detail almost nobody mentions: the Falcon 7X and 8X stay under 35 tonnes, which makes them among the very few in this category admitted to Cannes Mandelieu.
Falcon 7X and 8X · Global 6000 · Gulfstream G650ER
Milan at eight, Geneva at midday, Nice in the afternoon, home for dinner. On scheduled flights that takes two days and a night in a hotel.
You leave on Friday at seven in the evening instead of Saturday at dawn, and come back Sunday night instead of Monday. That is twenty-four hours more, not a whim.
Eight people on scheduled flights in August means three different flights and two stopovers. On a whole aircraft it is one single journey, and the figure per head often surprises.
A negotiation, a signature, a bereavement, news that must not get out. A private cabin isn't an indulgence: it is the only place where you can talk.
From the booking page, in sixty seconds. You don't need to know the airport code or which aircraft to ask for.
Straight away, with the route's unavoidable costs already in. It is the figure you start from, and we tell you where it comes from.
Usually within three hours, with the actual aircraft, the operator providing it and a firm price. In high season it can take longer: we tell you.
The contract of carriage is between you and them. We stay alongside you throughout, but we don't put ourselves in the middle of the liability.
Private terminal, no queue, no gate. Your name, the aircraft, and you're away.
And if the category you had in mind is bigger than you need, we say so. It earns us less, and it is why people come back.

spj_consenso · spj_langGoogle Analytics, to know which pages get read and which countries the enquiries come from, and Microsoft Clarity, which records how people move around the page — where they click and how far they scroll — with text and form fields masked. Neither tells us who you are. If you leave this off, the scripts aren't even loaded and no data goes anywhere.
