Olbia to Geneva
Private Jet Charter

About 1 hour 05 on a super-midsize, 1 hour 15 on a midsize jet and 1 hour 30 on a light jet, 353 nautical miles from Costa Smeralda across the sea and the Alps to Cointrin. The helicopter from Porto Cervo adds ten minutes at the start.

Geneva Cointrin, four kilometres north west of the centre, with a 12,795 foot runway, a French sector, slots, prior permission and a curfew, all set out in its Icarus guide. Rail runs from the terminal into the Swiss network, and the car into the city takes ten minutes.

Yes. Olbia Costa Smeralda is about four kilometres from Olbia and half an hour from Porto Cervo, its 8,022 foot runway takes everything the desk brokers, and in August it is among the busiest private airports in the Mediterranean, so the stand is confirmed before anything else.

A Citation XLS or Praetor 500 class midsize for eight with a summer of luggage is the first quote. A Citation CJ4 or Phenom 300 class light jet costs less for six or seven; a Challenger 350 or Praetor 600 class super-midsize suits a large family or a day that continues beyond Geneva.

Yes. Cointrin is slot coordinated with prior permission and mandatory handling, departures are curfewed from 2126 and parking beyond three hours needs approval. The desk files everything with the trip and times the Sunday arrival inside the day, with the Friday departure planned before the curfew.

In June and September it usually can. In July and August the Olbia stand is the constraint, so the desk confirms it before the aircraft leaves Geneva on the Friday or prices a repositioning from the start, and the quote shows which of the two it is.

Yes. With the villa's or the marina's approval a helicopter lifts from the door or the yacht and is beside the jet on the Olbia apron in ten minutes, on the same file. By road, half an hour from Porto Cervo, with the car booked by the desk.

The aircraft, two one-ways or a weekend return, the Geneva slot, permission and handling, the Olbia stand or a repositioning, and whether the dates fall in July or August. The quote spells out what it covers, and the number does not move once you have it.

Yes. Geneva to Olbia is the Friday flight in summer, and the desk checks whether a jet already at Cointrin makes it cheaper before quoting. The Geneva departure is planned inside the curfew, and the Olbia stand is confirmed for the arrival in July and August.

Yes. Switzerland is outside the EU customs union although inside Schengen, so customs clears at the aircraft at Olbia and at Cointrin, and the crew checks passports before departure. The border check is light; the customs clearance is the part that always happens.

June to September, with the sea warmest in September and June and September easiest to book. July and August, and Ferragosto above all, are the weeks the Sunday flights home fill, when aircraft, Olbia stands and Geneva slots all need booking weeks ahead.

Weeks ahead in July and August, when the Olbia stand, the Geneva slot and the aircraft are all scarce. June, September and off season need only a few days once the Geneva slot is filed, and the Olbia end is quiet outside the summer.
