Private jet charter in Ajaccio

Ajaccio is a little over two hours from the London fields, and the city rewards the client who arrives with a plan: the house where Napoleon was born, a gulf with a sunset coast and the whole granite south within a day's drive. Private Jets UK builds the charter around that plan. Our customers have access to 6,500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. We have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you favourable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. Ajaccio Napoleon Bonaparte has a 2,300 m runway with an ILS on runway 02, and customs and police are on duty round the clock for business flights notified 48 hours ahead. Figari, the second gateway, serves the far south. The real decisions are the airport, the cabin size and the week you choose.

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter in Ajaccio depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

• using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
• via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
• by landline or cell phone;
• via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from Biggin Hill, a Cessna Citation CJ3+ and two passengers aboard. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.

How long does it take to fly to Ajaccio?

2 hours 5 minutes from Biggin Hill or London City in a light jet, 2 hours 35 minutes from Edinburgh, and one hour of clock difference to allow for on arrival, because Corsica keeps the same time as Paris. At 696 to 1,023 nautical miles from the British fields we use, Ajaccio is a light-jet sector from the south of England and a midsize or larger job from the north. The table gives the sector for the aircraft we normally propose, nonstop in every case.

NB! - the figures are sent to you by email or messenger, please carefully fill in the contact details to get the calculation.

All our calculations are as transparent as possible for you. After receiving the request, we will prepare a beautiful offer - where the costs and the final price will be clearly described. The exact price is agreed in advance and is written in the contract, so you can be sure of the final cost.

Private jets are ready to take off

Our database contains over 6,500 business jets (about 3,500 in Europe and 3,000 in the rest of the world) of different configurations and production years. The list of models is constantly updated. Unfortunately, we can't post a full list of available jets on our website due to confidentiality issues. Please contact the managers of the company for more accurate information. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives.

This is a small part of what is available. Corsica is an island, so a quote may name Nice, Marseille, Rome or Olbia as the positioning point for the aircraft. That is normal for an island airport and it is frequently where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports in Ajaccio

Four airfields matter for a charter to Corsica, and the island is large enough that the choice decides the whole trip, because the roads between them take from an hour and a half to three hours. Choose by the place where you will sleep, not by the aircraft.

Before the landing, four practical points:

Border, passport and flights inside France

The first landing in the Schengen area is where the formalities happen, and on this route that is Ajaccio. The police and customs are available round the clock, provided the notice has gone in, so we send the passenger details with the flight plan. After that Corsica is simply France: a later leg to Nice, Marseille or Paris is a domestic flight with no border to cross, although a temporary border control can be introduced at short notice, so carry the passports. For the return to Britain, the General Aviation Report is filed not earlier than 48 hours and not later than 2 hours before departure.

From the apron to Napoleon's Ajaccio

Napoleon was born in Ajaccio, and the city has never stopped saying so. The Maison Bonaparte, at the corner of rue Saint-Charles and rue Letizia, is a national museum with the room where he was born, the salon and the family quarters. The Palais Fesch grew from the collection of his uncle, Cardinal Fesch, and holds mainly Italian painting from the fourteenth to the eighteenth century, described as the largest Italian collection in France after the Louvre. The Imperial Chapel in its south wing is the Bonaparte family vault and is open only in the summer season. The gulf takes over beyond the old town: a Genoese tower at the Pointe de la Parata, four small rocky islets of red porphyry, the Sanguinaires, and the beach at Porticcio on the far side.

The prehistoric south and the GR20

Filitosa, near Sollacaro on a hill above the Taravo valley, is a megalithic site where menhirs were carved with human faces, armour and weapons. It was settled from the Neolithic, and the carved statues belong to the Bronze Age. Propriano and Sartène lie further south, the first a harbour on the Gulf of Valinco and the second a granite town of old houses around the Place de la Libération, and the road ends at Bonifacio on its cliff. For walkers, the GR20 does not start at Ajaccio: it runs from Calenzana in the north to Conca in the south, about 180 km and usually about fifteen days, and the halfway station is Vizzavona, an hour and a quarter from Ajaccio on the train. Ajaccio is therefore the gateway to the middle of the route, and Calvi and Figari are the gateways to its two ends.

Corsican food and the Ajaccio wines

Corsican food starts with the pig and the sheep. Prisuttu, coppa and lonzu are the cured meats, figatellu is a smoked liver sausage eaten grilled or roasted, and brocciu is a fresh whey cheese made mostly from sheep milk that turns up in savoury dishes and in the fiadone cheesecake. Canistrelli are the dry biscuits to take home, and chestnut flour is the island's own. The wine to ask for is Ajaccio AOC, an appellation of its own covering 36 communes from the Gulf of Sagone to the Taravo valley. The vineyards are hillside plots averaging about 500 m above the sea on weathered granite, and the main grape is Sciaccarello, which gives a light ruby red with soft tannins and a pale rosé. The area is small, a little over two hundred hectares in all, which is reason enough for a tasting stop.

Flying to Ajaccio with a dog or a cat

For a pet the paperwork is the part of a Corsican trip that needs planning, and the flight is the easy bit: the animal sits beside you in the cabin, never in a hold, and on a sector of just over two hours most simply sleep. The date on the health certificate is the detail that goes wrong, because the certificate is valid for only ten days for entry to the EU.

What an EU country such as France asks for when a pet arrives from Britain:

• An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination or at the same time;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed before the animal travels;
• An Animal Health Certificate for each trip, issued by an Official Veterinarian and valid for ten days for entry to the EU. A British pet passport cannot be used to enter the EU;
• No more than five animals per traveller, presented at a travellers' point of entry, which we confirm in writing for the airport;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival back in Britain, recorded on the paperwork. Cats are exempt.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide. For the entry point and the paperwork on the way home, we confirm both in writing before the flight, and our managers check the position for your dates before a booking is taken.

The Ajaccio calendar: a long summer and one big birthday

Ajaccio does not have one season but a long one with a single date at the centre. Summer fills the beaches, the middle of August fills the old town, and the rest of the year belongs to the museums and the mountains. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

Ways to bring the Ajaccio price down

• Move the dates by a few days where you can. The weeks either side of 15 August are calmer than the Napoleonic weekend itself, and the end of June and the start of September are quieter than the height of summer;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet that already sits in Nice, Marseille or Rome takes less positioning than one coming from Britain, and on a sector of this length positioning is a real part of the bill;
• Count the heads honestly. A light jet and a midsize cost different amounts on this sector: from Biggin Hill the Citation XLS+ is priced about £2,350 above the CJ3+. If the luggage allows the smaller cabin, the saving is real; if it does not, the larger one is the cheaper decision.

Types of flights

Ajaccio produces a different mix from the Alpine or the Italian destinations we cover, because it is a historical capital, a gulf resort and the gateway to a mountain island all at once.

• Heritage weekends built around Napoleon's house, the Palais Fesch and the Imperial Chapel, usually two or three nights with the Sanguinaires at sunset;
• Villa and beach holidays on the gulf and the Valinco coast, concentrated in July and August, typically from the south of England;
• Walking trips to Vizzavona and the middle of the GR20, with boots and poles in the hold, between early summer and September;
• Food and wine trips to the Ajaccio hill estates and the south, often with Filitosa on the same day;
• Sailing weekends around the regatta in May;
• Business and incentive groups, a morning in town and a lunch by the water, plus onward hops to Nice, Marseille or Olbia.

The day trip is the one to look at closely. Land at about five past ten, leave at four in the afternoon local time and you are back on the British side by about five o'clock UK time, with almost six hours on the ground in between. A same-day return means the aircraft and crew wait for you rather than going home, and that waiting is paid for, but it still comes out cheaper than two separate one-way charters. We quote it both ways, so the difference is visible.

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. Ajaccio has no single event that creates them, so they come from the weekly rhythm of a leisure island, and it helps to know what produces them.

Because the Corsican corridor is thinner than the busiest London routes, a client who can name a few days rather than one has a far better chance than one who needs a particular evening. What you give up is the usual: the operator owns the date and the hour, and a leg can vanish when the original booking moves. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page, and we flag an Ajaccio match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

On Corsica a helicopter is a tool for the edges of a trip and for the island's slow mountain roads. Corse Hélicoptère is based at Ajaccio airport and works with Air Corsica, offering transfers and scenic flights, and the two panoramic tours it names are the Aiguilles de Bavella and the Calanques de Piana. Where the road takes two or three hours, a helicopter between the island's airports takes half an hour.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for scenic and mountain work, the wider H130 for villa transfers, the H135 and the Bell 429 where a twin is wanted, and the H155 for larger parties. The fleet of the local operator is confirmed when we request the quote, and we book the helicopter alongside the jet so that both crews work to one timetable.
