Located 20 km south of Bastia, this airport provides access to northeastern Corsica. It is the Corsican airport with the fewest constraints, and is favored for airliners. It is open to national, international, commercial and private traffic.
By car, you’ll need on average :
- 25 minutes from Bastia
- 30 minutes from Saint-Florent
- 50 minutes from Aleria
- 1h40 from Calvi
If you’d like a chauffeur-driven car to meet you on arrival and take you wherever you want to go, AEROAFFAIRES will reserve the most suitable car for you, whether it’s a Mercedes S-Class, a VIANO or a Limousine.
Whether you’d like to discover the north of Corsica in an unusual way, or need to get to another destination quickly, AEROAFFAIRES can also charter a helicopter to be waiting for you as soon as you step off your private jet.
Hiring a helicopter can give you more flexibility and speed than regular airlines, and more comfort than some mountain routes. It’s more often than not considered the best option, so don’t hesitate if you have any questions.
For example, it takes just 30 minutes by helicopter from Bastia to Ajaccio, compared with an average of 2 hours 40 minutes by car, and 35 minutes by helicopter to Porto-Vecchio, compared with 3 hours by car.
