Private jet charter in Sardinia

Two hours and a quarter from a London airfield puts you over Sardinia, and the decision that counts comes after that: which of the island's three jet airports is nearest to the bed you are sleeping in. Private Jets UK arranges the charter around the coast you are really going to, the season and the length of the stay. 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. Sardinia is bigger than most visitors expect, with the Costa Smeralda in the north-east, the town of Alghero in the north-west and Cagliari in the south, and the roads between them are slow. This page is written for the island as a whole and tells you which gateway belongs to which trip.

 

 

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 Sardinia 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, an Embraer Phenom 300E 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 Sardinia?

Two hours fifteen from Biggin Hill, a little under three from Scotland, and one hour of clock difference to remember on landing, because Sardinia keeps Central European time. At 769 to 1096 nautical miles this is a comfortable short-haul sector for a light jet, and the table below uses Olbia as the reference airport because it is where most of the traffic goes. Alghero is barely two minutes closer to Britain and Cagliari about ten minutes further, so the choice of gateway moves the clock far less than it moves the road time at the other end.

 

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Sardinia

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all of them into Olbia Costa Smeralda. Late June to early September, and the middle of August above all, sit above these figures, and the calendar block further down explains when.

 

The island has three gateways and the price moves with distance, not with prestige. The same Phenom 300E from Biggin Hill costs this to each of them:

We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries. Due to a large database of available business jets, we can help you find an optimal jet and crew. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, you can ask them using the form below:

 

 

Private jet flights from Sardinia

Sardinia works as a base for a Mediterranean loop. The mainland business cities of Rome and Milan are sectors of an hour or so, Nice and the Balearics sit within a light jet's reach, and the other end of the island itself is a short turboprop hop. Typical one-way prices from Olbia:

 

 

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:

 

 

The cost per hour indicated in the table is preliminary and does not constitute an offer or a commercial offer. Exact prices are available from the managers of the company.

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 Sardinia:

 

 

 

This is a small part of what is available. Sardinia sits inside the Mediterranean fleet, so outside the peak weeks there is usually an aircraft within a couple of hours of the island, in Rome, Milan or Nice, and in August the same operators often have a jet that has just dropped its passengers on the north coast and is looking for a way home.

Business aviation airports in Sardinia

Three airports carry the whole of Sardinian business aviation, and they are far enough apart that choosing between them is the main planning decision on the island. All three require slots and compulsory handling, which the handler books for you.

 

Four points settle most Sardinian arrivals:

 

 

Border, customs and the way home

Because Britain sits outside Schengen, a flight from London into Sardinia is an arrival from a third country: passengers see the border police as well as customs, and both are arranged by the terminal handler, so there is normally no queue with scheduled passengers. Olbia and Alghero are listed as airports of entry, and the handler confirms the officers' availability for your arrival time. For the return, the General Aviation Report must reach the UK authorities no earlier than 48 hours and no later than 2 hours before departure, and visitors who need no visa but are not British or Irish citizens need an Electronic Travel Authorisation to enter the UK.

 

 

From the apron to the marina

Sardinia is a large island of mostly empty country, and the figures that matter are the road times between the three airports and the places people actually sleep. Most of the cost of choosing wrongly is paid in the car.

 

Flying to Sardinia with a dog or a cat

Italy asks for more paperwork than the flight itself takes. The animal sits beside you in the cabin and the sector is short enough that most dogs sleep through it, but the certificate has a ten-day life from the day it is issued, so the date on it matters. An island trip is also a long stay by habit, which is why the way home needs planning as much as the way out.

 

 

What Italy and the EU ask for:

• An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination or on the same day, 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 no more than ten days before the animal enters the EU, and valid for the return as stated on the certificate;
• No more than five animals per traveller, presented at the first point of entry into the EU, 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 with product, date and time. 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 Sardinian calendar: a season built around the sea

Sardinia has one dominant season and a handful of dates that matter around it. The terminal at Olbia handles about 15,000 private flights a year, and about 80 percent of them fall between late May and early October. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

 

Ways to bring the Sardinian price down

• Move the dates a few days where you can. The shoulder weeks in June and September are quieter and cheaper than the middle of August, and the sea is already warm;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet already in Rome, Milan 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 airport that matches the stay. Landing at Cagliari for a Costa Smeralda holiday saves nothing on the flight and costs about three hours on the road each way;
• Agree the aircraft's plan for the week. A jet that goes away and comes back for you can cost less than one that waits on a crowded apron, and the quote should say which you are paying for.

 

Types of flights

Sardinia produces a different mix from the Italian mainland cities we cover, because it is a holiday island first and a business destination a distant second.

• Summer villa and yacht travel to the Costa Smeralda, usually families and friends who stay one or two weeks and want a boat or a helicopter on arrival;
• Sailing weekends around the Porto Cervo regattas, with crews, owners and guests landing on the same days;
• Motorsport and sport, from the rally in June to golf and diving in the shoulder months;
• Two-coast loops, landing at Olbia and leaving from Cagliari or Alghero, so that the aircraft never waits for you;
• Short city breaks in spring and autumn, centred on Alghero or Cagliari with the interior as the programme.

The day trip is worth a closer look, if only because it is rare. A same-day return means the aircraft and crew wait for you rather than going home, and that waiting is paid for. At two hours fifteen each way it is a long day, but for a site visit on the island or a lunch on the Emerald Coast it usually still comes out cheaper than two separate one-way charters, and in August we quote it both ways because the parking question changes the answer.

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. On the Sardinian routes they follow the season and the weekend change-over, and it helps to know what produces them.

Because the Sardinian corridors are 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 Sardinian match the day an operator releases it.

 

 

Helicopter charter

In Sardinia a helicopter is a tool for the coast and not for the island. The distances between the three airports are too long for a light helicopter to make sense, but the last stretch from Olbia to the Emerald Coast is where rotary flight changes the day, and the same is true of the bays and villas of the north-west.

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

 

 

Flight payment options

The main goal of our company is to provide the highest level of comfort to our customers. Therefore, we're always ready to meet you halfway. Our consultants will offer you a wide variety of flights to meet your needs and budget.

All payment details are provided in advance, so you'll have enough time to make the necessary checks. For years of working in business aviation, our company has gained an impeccable reputation. We practice transparency and are always ready to present all necessary documents.

• by cryptocurrency.

 

Our company works with European and British banks, which allows you to choose the most convenient payment method. In addition, we conclude formal agreements and provide our clients with all necessary documents and invoices, which guarantees the safe payment and delivery of services. If you have any financial questions, feel free to contact our private aviation consultants.

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.
