Private jet charter in Florence

From a London airfield Florence is two hours away by light jet, and the unusual part of the trip is the last few kilometres: Peretola sits about five kilometres from the Duomo, on a runway short enough to decide which aircraft you can bring. Private Jets UK arranges the charter around that fact. 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. Florence rewards a little homework. The airport takes light and midsize jets comfortably, asks for permission on every single flight and works to slots, while Pisa, an hour and twenty minutes away by road, takes everything else. Choosing between them is most of the job.

 

 

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 Florence 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 Florence?

Two hours or a little more from the London fields in a light jet, two and three-quarter hours from Glasgow, and one hour of clock difference on arrival, because Italy keeps Central European time. At 660 to 980 nautical miles this is a standard short-haul sector, and the aircraft types in the table are the ones that suit Peretola rather than the largest we could fly. The table gives the sector from each British field we use.

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 a suitable model taking into account your wishes. These are the typical choices for Florence:

 

 

 

This is a small part of what is available. Florence draws on the Italian fleet, so for a booking outside the Pitti weeks and the summer peak there is often a light or midsize jet already within an hour of Peretola, in Milan, Rome or Nice, and that is frequently where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports in Florence and Tuscany

Two airports matter for a Florence trip and the others are small. It helps to know all of them before a quote arrives with one of them in it.

 

Four points settle most Florence arrivals:

 

 

Border, passport and where to clear

Clear Italy at the airport you land at, and the rest of the trip is inside Schengen with no further control. Florence is an airport of entry with customs, so an arrival from Britain is checked at the private jet terminal. Coming home it works in reverse. Britain is outside Schengen, so you clear passport control and customs again, and the General Aviation Report for the return is filed by us in the permitted window, not earlier than 48 hours and not later than two hours before departure. A party with non-British passengers should check the electronic travel authorisation, which most visitors who need no visa must hold before they fly to the UK; British and Irish citizens are exempt.

 

 

From the apron to the Duomo

Florence is compact, and the airport is close to it. Most of what a visitor wants lies either inside the old centre or in the hills around it, so the useful numbers are the short transfers into town and the longer ones out to Chianti, Siena and the coast.

 

Flying to Florence with a dog or a cat

Italy asks for more paperwork than the flight takes, and the flight is short enough that most animals sleep through it. The animal sits beside you in the cabin. What matters is that the certificate is dated correctly, because it has a ten-day life from the day it is issued, and that the vet appointment for the return is booked before you leave Tuscany.

 

 

What the EU rules ask for on the way in:

• A microchip, fitted before or at the same time as the rabies vaccination and never after it;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed before entry;
• An Animal Health Certificate from an Official Veterinarian, issued for this trip and valid for ten days for entry to the EU;
• A written declaration that the movement is non-commercial, signed by the owner;
• No more than five animals per traveller, presented at a travellers' point of entry, which we confirm in writing together with the paperwork before the flight;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before the return flight to Britain, recorded in the pet travel document. Cats are exempt.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide, and our managers confirm the position in writing for your dates before a booking is taken.

 

The Florence calendar: fashion, festivals and the summer peak

Florence has no off season for visitors, but the airport has a clear rhythm. The fashion weeks in January and June, Easter, the long summer from May to September and Christmas fill the permission system. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

 

Ways to bring the Florence price down

• Move the dates a few days where you can. The weeks after the Pitti fairs are calm, and so are February, the first half of October and early spring, when the weather is good and the festivals are not on;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet already in Milan, Rome or Nice takes less positioning than one from Britain, and on a sector of this length positioning is a meaningful share of the bill;
• Choose the right aircraft for the airport. A light or midsize jet to Peretola is cheaper than a large jet to Pisa plus a car, a helicopter and an hour of road, unless the party is big enough to need the cabin.

 

Types of flights

Florence produces a different mix from the resort airports on the coast, because the city is a business and cultural destination as much as a leisure one, and the runway pushes the mix towards light and midsize cabins.

• Fashion and trade trips for Pitti Uomo and the other fairs, usually with luggage that is heavier than the passenger count suggests;
• Art, museum and weekend city breaks, often two or three people and a short stay;
• Wine and villa weekends in Chianti and the Val d'Orcia, with a helicopter or a driver at the other end;
• Events such as the Maggio Musicale evenings, the Calcio Storico and the Christmas season;
• Island and coast hops from Florence to Elba, Sardinia and the Riviera, and loops that take in Milan or Rome;
• Day trips from London, which at about two hours each way are a long day but a workable one.

The day trip is worth a closer look. A same-day return means the aircraft and crew wait for you rather than going home, and that waiting is paid for, but it usually still comes out cheaper than two separate one-way charters. Leaving at seven and coming back at nine in the evening gives you a working day in Florence and a bed in your own house, and on this route 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. On the Florence route they come from the pattern of weekends and fairs, and it helps to know what produces them.

Because the Florence 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 a Florence match the day an operator releases it.

 

 

Helicopter charter

In Tuscany a helicopter is a tool for the edges of a trip and not the middle. Florence itself is small enough to cross by car, and the places where rotary flight changes the journey are the hill country, the coast and the connection with other airports. It matters most for a party that cannot use Peretola with a larger jet.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for hill work, the wider H130 for scenic and villa transfers, the H135 and the Bell 429 where a twin is wanted, and the H155 for larger parties. We book them alongside the jet so that both crews work to one timetable.
