The 2026 Winter Olympics mark the return of alpine competition to Europe in a new format. For the first time, the event will be officially divided between several Italian cities and regions, from Lombardy to the Dolomites, via Trentino-Alto Adige.
This configuration imposes a very concrete reality: sporting performance also depends on the ability to move efficiently between venues. In this context, mobility becomes a central factor of the stay.
Since 1991, AEROAFFAIRES has been supporting executives, delegations and institutional partners with a rigorous, operational and no-nonsense approach to air concierge services. For Milano-Cortina 2026, this expertise takes on its full dimension.
One event, many territories
Why private aviation is essential
Unlike previous editions, Milano-Cortina 2026 is not based on a single hub. The competition sites are spread over more than 22,000 km², with road travel times highly dependent on weather, terrain and crowds.
Italy’s Alpine infrastructure, spectacular as it is, will quickly reach its limits in February 2026. Private aviation offers a way out of these constraints, while maintaining a high level of comfort and reliability.
Milan, the nerve center of the ice races
Milan will host the opening ceremony at the San Siro stadium, as well as the ice hockey and figure skating competitions. Here, air access is a real lever for efficiency.
A private jet flight to Milan Linate will take you less than fifteen minutes from the city center. This avoids the saturation of Malpensa and considerably simplifies urban transfers during the Games.
Cortina d’ Ampezzo, the alpine heart of the Dolomites
The emblematic resort of the Dolomites, Cortina d’ Ampezzo will be the venue for the alpine skiing and curling events. Its international reputation contrasts with its demanding road accessibility, particularly during the Olympic period.
From Milan, the overland journey can exceed five hours in heavy winter conditions. Helicopter transfers are therefore the most direct, regular and controlled solution in terms of timing.
When you book a helicopter, you can be sure of arriving on time, whatever the conditions on the ground.
Why entrust your charter to AEROAFFAIRES?
Aerial operations in winter alpine environments require precise technical expertise. Aircraft selection, altitude performance analysis, weather forecasting and local coordination are an integral part of every mission.
AEROAFFAIRES relies exclusively on certified operators and fleets adapted to conditions in the Dolomites, with a pragmatic, reliability-oriented approach.
Beyond the technical aspect, time savings transform the organization of your stay. Access to VIP terminals, timetables adjusted to customer requirements, transport of specific equipment without logistical constraints: every detail is taken into account upstream.

A fleet designed to meet the demands of 2026
For international and European routes, AEROAFFAIRES mobilizes a wide range of private jets. Very Light Jets are ideally suited to quick trips from Geneva or Zurich, while Super Midsize Jets offer comfortable cabin space for several passengers on longer routes.
Helicopters play a central role in Alpine segments. The Airbus H125 and H130 are acknowledged benchmarks for mountain operations. The Agusta AW109 is a particularly popular twin-engine solution for VIP transfers.

Anticipating your Olympic booking
In February 2026, the Italian authorities will be enforcing strict flight slots at the main airports. Anticipation is therefore crucial to guarantee availability and flexibility.
The recommended approach is to precisely define the events to be followed, then entrust AEROAFFAIRES with the complete management of authorizations, airport alternatives and fallback scenarios.
Secondary hubs such as Bolzano, Treviso or Brescia can often help to streamline operations while remaining close to the Olympic venues.
