Rome to Olbia
Private Jet Charter

About 35 minutes on a midsize jet, 40 on a light jet and 50 on a turboprop, 149 nautical miles from Ciampino across the Tyrrhenian to Costa Smeralda. Add half an hour from the centre of Rome to Ciampino and half an hour from Olbia to Porto Cervo.

Olbia Costa Smeralda, about four kilometres from Olbia with a runway of about 8,022 feet. It takes everything the desk brokers, Porto Cervo is half an hour away, and in August it is one of the busiest private aprons in the Mediterranean.

Ciampino on almost every trip, the business aviation airport 15 kilometres south east of the centre. Fiumicino only when you are connecting from a scheduled flight or the aircraft is too large for Ciampino, which on this sector it is not.

A Citation CJ or Phenom 300 class light jet for six or seven, the first quote. A King Air 350 or PC-12 class turboprop for eight with luggage at lower cost. A Citation XLS or Praetor 500 class midsize when the luggage is a summer's worth or the week goes on around the Mediterranean.

In June and September it usually does. In July and August the stand is the constraint; the desk confirms it before the aircraft leaves Rome or prices the repositioning to Cagliari or the mainland from the start, and the quote says which.

Yes. With the marina's or the villa's approval a helicopter flies the ten minutes from the apron to the yacht or a pad, arranged with the flight. The road to Porto Cervo takes about half an hour, and the desk has a car waiting on the apron instead.

The aircraft, weekend return or two one-ways, the Olbia stand or a repositioning, handling at both ends, and whether the dates fall in July or August. The quote says what it covers before you commit, and that is the number you pay.

Yes. Olbia to Rome is quoted the same way, with the aircraft positioning in from Rome for the pickup. A week or a month on the coast is two one-ways, and in July and August the desk confirms the Olbia stand or prices a repositioning up front. Enter Olbia as the departure in the form.

No. Rome to Olbia is a domestic flight, so there is no customs; the crew checks passports or EU identity cards at the aircraft, and fifteen minutes before departure at Ciampino is enough. The only paperwork is the passenger list, which the desk files.

Yes. A jet from London, Geneva or Dubai lands at Rome, or at Olbia directly when that suits the dates better, and the forty-minute leg is quoted on the same file. The desk advises which works, with August parking at Olbia often the deciding factor.

Between June and September. June and September book most easily and the sea is warmest in September; July and August, and Ferragosto above all, are the busiest weeks at Olbia, when the Friday and Sunday flights out of Rome fill weeks ahead.

Weeks ahead in July and August, when Olbia stands and the aircraft out of Rome are scarce and the villa helicopters go early. In June, September and off season a few days is fine, with the airport quiet and parking easy to find.
