Turbo-propellers

Turboprop aircraft are aircraft with a propeller engine. They allow you to travel within a range of 1000 km to 2500 km. They are slower than conventional private jets but are more economical. In addition, these aircraft are also noisier. These propeller planes are more agile than others. Thanks to this manoeuvrability, they can land on runways with different surfaces. Finally, they can also land on short runways, as is the case in Courchevel.  This means they can also land at a greater number of airports than other types of aircraft.

These planes can generally accommodate a larger quantity of luggage than classic private jets. Finally, turboprops are the ideal solution for short, economical journeys.

With a light private jet, you can count on a range of between 1500 and 3200 kilometres from the departure airport. They are also faster than an airliner.
