Private jet charter in Ravenna

Ravenna packs fifth-century mosaics, the tomb of Dante and a long strip of Adriatic beach into one flat corner of Romagna, and the aircraft that brings you there lands somewhere else. Private Jets UK plans the trip 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. Ravenna has an airfield, but it is an aero club strip of about 1,200 m with no customs and no fuel, so a jet from Britain lands at Forlì, about 30 km away, or at Bologna or Rimini, and the last stretch is a road or a short helicopter hop. The sensible choice among the three depends on the hour you want to arrive and leave, not on the size of the aircraft.

 

 

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 Ravenna 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 flight to Forlì in 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 Ravenna?

Two hours from Biggin Hill or London City in a light jet, and two and a half hours from Edinburgh or Glasgow. Italy keeps Central European time, an hour ahead of Britain, so a departure at seven in the morning puts you on the ground in Romagna at about ten by the local clock. The figures below are for the sector to Forlì (FRL), the nearest airport that takes a business jet and the one we price Ravenna against, at 672 to 980 nautical miles from the British fields we use. The drive to Ravenna comes after the landing and is not in the flying time.

Private jet flights from the Ravenna area

Forlì is a short hop from most of northern and central Italy, and the sectors beyond it are the usual ones for a Romagna trip: Milan, Venice and Florence in under an hour, Rome Ciampino not much more, the Croatian coast across the Adriatic, then Nice, Geneva and Munich over the Alps. Typical one-way prices from Forlì:

 

 

Prices depending on the type of business jet

We can clearly show the high dependence of the cost of the flight, on the type of aircraft - we have collected approximate data, at the price of 1 flight hour, for various types of business jets:

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 Ravenna:

 

 

 

This is a small part of what is available. The aircraft we propose is not always based at the airport where you land. Bologna, Milan and Venice are each within a short hop of Forlì, so a quote may name one of them as the positioning point. That is normal for a regional route, and it is often where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports for Ravenna

Ravenna has its own airfield and no jet we send can use it, which is why this page is really about three other airports. One is close, one is complete and one lies on the coast.

 

Four things to settle before a landing in Romagna:

 

 

Border, passport and the roads to Ravenna

The first landing in the Schengen area is where the formalities happen, and for Ravenna that means Forlì, Bologna or Rimini. The aero club field at Casale is not an airport of entry, so a flight from Britain does not land there first. After the first landing the borders disappear: a hop on to Venice, Split or Nice is a Schengen sector with no passport control, though a document check can still happen at a hotel or on the road. By road Ravenna sits about 29 km from Forlì city centre, roughly 80 km from Bologna and roughly 70 km from Rimini according to route planners, and the motorway link towards Bologna and the coast is the one that matters on a race weekend. For the return, the General Aviation Report for Britain is filed not earlier than 48 hours and not later than 2 hours before departure. A first landing in Britain at an aerodrome that is not regulated for customs can bring a fine of £2,500, and passengers carried without permission £2,000 each, so the arrival airfield is confirmed in writing. Passengers who are neither British nor Irish and need no visa for Britain must hold an Electronic Travel Authorisation.

 

 

From the apron to the Basilica of San Vitale

Ravenna has about 156,000 residents and covers some 650 square kilometres, which makes it the second largest Italian city by area. Most of that is farmland, pine forest and coast, and the walkable core is small. Honorius moved the imperial court here in the early fifth century, Theodoric ruled Italy from the city from 493, and the Byzantine governors of Italy sat here from 540. What survives of that history is eight early Christian monuments on the UNESCO list, and they sit within a short walk or a short drive of one another. The question for a private client is what else lies within a morning: the beach resorts, the Cervia salt pans, the Imola circuit and the Po Delta Park.

 

Mosaics, Dante and the coast: what a client actually does here

The mosaics come first, and they reward planning more than any other single thing on this page. The UNESCO listing covers eight monuments of the fifth and sixth centuries: the Mausoleum of Galla Placidia, the Neonian Baptistery, the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare Nuovo, the Arian Baptistery, the Archiepiscopal Chapel, the Mausoleum of Theodoric, the Basilica of San Vitale and the Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe. San Vitale holds the panels of the emperor Justinian and the empress Theodora, and Galla Placidia is a tiny cruciform chapel whose dome is a golden starry sky on dark blue. The five central sites are sold on combination tickets with timed entry, and Galla Placidia in particular can sell out well ahead. The Mausoleum of Theodoric, built of large blocks of Istrian stone, and Sant'Apollinare in Classe stand outside the centre. We arrange the booking with the aircraft, because a private party that lands at ten and finds the next free slot at four has wasted the point of flying.

Dante died in Ravenna in 1321, after years of exile from Florence, and his tomb stands beside the Basilica of San Francesco in a quiet zone where visitors keep silent. Each year on 14 September Florence supplies the olive oil for the lamp that burns above it. A client with an interest in the poet will find September the best month, when the Settembre Dantesco programme runs. The coast is the other half of the trip. Nine small beach towns line about 35 km of shore, Marina di Ravenna is the nearest at about 13 km, and behind them lie the pine forests and lagoons of the Po Delta Park. Cervia, 23 km south, offers the Camillone saltpan, the last small saltworks of the 144 that once worked there, now part of the MUSA Salt Museum, and the pine-shaded resort of Milano Marittima. Imola lies 46 km inland for anyone who wants a day at the Enzo e Dino Ferrari circuit; on race weekends the roads around it fill, so the driver and the departure time are fixed before the aircraft is.

 

Flying to Ravenna with a dog or a cat

A pet on a private flight rides beside you in the cabin, never in a hold, and on a two-hour sector most animals sleep through it. The paperwork is where trips go wrong, above all the date on the health certificate, which is valid for only ten days for entry to the EU.

 

 

What an EU country such as Italy 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 entry;
• An Animal Health Certificate for each trip, issued by an Official Veterinarian and valid for ten days for entry to the EU, and for the return to Britain as stated on the certificate. A pet passport issued in England, Scotland or Wales is not valid for entry to the EU;
• 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 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 Ravenna calendar: mosaics all year, music in summer and Dante in September

Ravenna does not have a single high season. It has a quiet core of monuments that stay busy all year, a summer of concerts and beaches, and a handful of dated weekends on the coast and at Imola that move hotel rooms and cars. Knowing the week you want matters more than the aircraft you choose.

 

Ways to bring the Ravenna price down

• Move the dates by a few days where you can. The weeks outside the festival, the Notte Rosa and the Imola race weekends are calmer in the hotels and on the road;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet that already sits in Bologna, Milan or Venice needs less positioning than one coming from Britain, and on a sector of this length positioning is a meaningful part of the bill;
• Check which airport suits the plan. From Biggin Hill on the same light jet Bologna is priced about £450 below Forlì and Rimini about £300 above, but each adds a longer drive to Ravenna and the saving can disappear in the car. If the programme includes a night return, Bologna may be the better answer for reasons that have nothing to do with the fare.

 

Types of flights

Ravenna produces a different mix from the Riviera or the Alps, because the traffic is made by culture, by music and by a coast that people reach by car from a handful of airports.

• Culture trips built around the mosaics and Dante, usually two to four people, a guide booked ahead and a driver on call for the day;
• Festival and opera weekends in summer and autumn, timed to the Ravenna Festival or the Autumn Trilogy, with the return planned against the opening hours of the airport;
• Beach and boat holidays on the coast, from Marina di Ravenna and Marinara to Cervia and Milano Marittima, often with a family or a larger group;
• Motor trips to Imola, the circuit named after Enzo and Dino Ferrari, 46 km inland, usually for a race weekend or a track day;
• Business flights for the port of Ravenna, the main port of Emilia-Romagna, with a commercial and passenger side and a cruise terminal;
• Hops across the Adriatic to Split and the Croatian coast, and north to Venice and Milan.

The day trip works and is worth a close look. Leave a London field at seven, land at Forlì a little after ten local time, reach the old town by eleven and you have until about four to cover San Vitale, Galla Placidia, the Neonian Baptistery, Sant'Apollinare Nuovo and Dante's tomb at a walking pace. 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. Ravenna has no single event that creates a steady stream of them, so they follow the pattern of the neighbouring airports, and it helps to know what produces them.

Because the corridor between Britain and Romagna 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 Romagna match the day an operator releases it.

 

 

Helicopter charter

Around Ravenna a helicopter is a tool for the longer transfers and for the coast. The ground is flat and the roads are good, so a helicopter saves real time only on the longer transfers: from Bologna or Rimini to the old town, or from Forlì across to Cervia and the coast.

Which machine we propose depends on the party and on the landing site: an Airbus H125 or H130 for two to five people, an H135 or a Bell 429 where a twin is wanted. We book it alongside the jet so that both crews work to one timetable.

If you need to book an urgent flight, please keep in mind that the bank transfer can take a few days. In such situations, we may need to involve our partner companies so that you can pay for your flight in cash. If you have any questions, you can contact your personal consultant 24/7.
