You can charter a Citation Mustang, an Embraer Phenom 100, or a HondaJet for a quick trip to Paris or Geneva; a Pilatus PC-12 NG or a King Air 350 to travel to Corsica in complete privacy; or an Embraer Phenom 300 , an Cessna Citation CJ3 +, or an Pilatus PC-24 for your intra-European flights. For longer journeys, the Citation XLS+, Learjet 75, and Embraer Praetor 500 are among the aircraft most frequently offered for departures from the French Riviera.
