Milan to Geneva
Private Jet Charter

Roughly 35 minutes on a midsize jet, 40 on a light jet and 50 on a turboprop, for 141 nautical miles from Linate to Cointrin across the Alps. It is short enough that the aircraft is chosen for the group and the two slots rather than for range.

Cointrin, four kilometres north west of the centre, with a 12,795 foot runway, a French sector for transfers to the French resorts, and slot, permission and curfew rules the Icarus guide sets out in full. Rail runs into the Swiss network from the terminal.

Linate for most trips: seven kilometres from the centre, twenty minutes from the office, and it takes light and midsize jets. Malpensa, 49 kilometres north west, when the aircraft is one of the largest or you are starting from the lakes.

For six or seven, a Citation CJ or Phenom 300 class light jet, the first quote. For eight with skis, a PC-12 or King Air 350 class turboprop. For a delegation or a day that continues to London or Paris, a Citation XLS or Praetor 500 class midsize.

Yes, and so does Linate. Geneva adds prior permission, mandatory handling, a 2126 departure curfew and approval for parking beyond three hours; the desk files both airports on one file the day the dates are known, and plans the evening return inside the curfew.

Yes; it is the winter reason for the sector. The transfer to Verbier, Megeve or Courchevel meets you on whichever side of Cointrin suits the resort, and the desk lines it up with the flight, a ski week usually being priced as two one-ways.

Yes, and it is the usual shape. Out of Linate at 8, in a Geneva meeting before 9:30, and home in Milan for dinner with the Geneva departure inside the 2126 curfew. The aircraft waits at Cointrin, with parking beyond three hours approved in advance.

The class of aircraft, day return or two one-ways, the Linate and Geneva slots with permission and handling, parking at either end, and the dates against ski weekends and the watch fairs. The desk lists every item in the quote before you book.

Yes. Geneva to Milan is quoted the same way, with the Geneva departure planned inside the curfew and the Linate slot and parking filed for the arrival. A jet already in Geneva often makes that leg cheaper, and the desk checks. Enter Geneva as the departure in the form.

Yes. Switzerland is in Schengen but not in the EU customs union, so customs is cleared on the apron at Linate and at Cointrin, and the crew checks passports before you board. Forty minutes in the air, and the formalities at each end are handled at the aircraft.

Passports for everyone. The desk files the passenger list with the trip and confirms entry requirements for non-EU nationals before departure; expect a light border check and customs at the aircraft on both sides, Switzerland being in Schengen but outside the EU customs union.

A few days once the two slots are filed, outside the peaks, and a light jet can often go the next day. Ski weekends, Christmas, the watch fairs and the fashion weeks want firm dates weeks in advance, because the same light jets are wanted from both cities.
