The airport has a 1650-meter-long runway capable of handling turboprops, light private jets, medium private jets, long-haul private jets and regional aircraft. Finally, a private terminal dedicated to business aviation offers exclusive services.

Practical information about airports in Italy
Italy has a dense network of international and national airports:
-
There are some 27 major commercial airports (classified as “airports open to regular commercial traffic”). These include international hubs (Rome Fiumicino, Milan Malpensa, Venice, Naples…) as well as smaller airports linked by regular routes (Parma, Trieste, Brindisi, Olbia, etc.).
-
Alongside these main hubs, there are dozens of secondary airports and airfields open to general aviation and private flights. These airfields, often with runways suitable for turboprops and light jets, enable you to land as close as possible to tourist or regional destinations (e.g. Bolzano for the Dolomites, Marina di Campo on the island of Elba, Lampedusa, Pantelleria…).

La Salva Italia, Italy's luxury tax
Before booking your flight, you should be aware of a specific Italian tax: the Italian luxury tax. The Salva Italia is a tax passed by Parliament in 2012 applicable to private jets and helicopters. All passengers flying into or out of the country are subject to this payment.
The tax applies per journey and per head: €10 per passenger for a flight of less than 100 km, €100 between 100 and 1,500 km and €200 beyond. The amount of the tax will be indicated on your quotation and will be payable at the time of payment of the flight. In the event of a change in the number of passengers, we will ask you to make up the difference, or we will refund the difference.
Constraints and special features of private flights in Italy
Italy is an ideal country for private aviation, but certain local constraints influence the organization of private jet and helicopter flights. Knowing them well can help you optimize every trip.
Airports sometimes saturated
Rome Fiumicino and Milan Malpensa airports are heavily used by commercial flights. For private jet travel, it is often preferable to use airports more suited to business aviation, such as Rome Ciampino or Milan Linate, which have faster, more discreet private terminals (FBO).
Capri: choose Salerno over Naples
To reach Capri by helicopter, you can leave from Naples, but the airport can be congested and subject to strict time slots. Salerno is often a better option: a quieter airport, smoother formalities, and quick access to the heliport for take-off. This saves time and ensures a smoother transfer to the island.
Privileged access to ski resorts
In the north, some Alpine resorts such as Cortina d’Ampezzo and Courmayeur have no nearby airports. Helicopter transfers from Milan or Turin remain the most direct solution. This is also the case for Cervinia and the Matterhorn area, which are often isolated by road in winter.
Islands and coastlines: maritime constraints and airtime savings
The Italian islands (Aeolian Islands, Elba, Sardinia, Sicily) are often only accessible by ferry, with long, uncertain crossings. The use of helicopters avoids these constraints and enables you to arrive directly in areas where land access is limited.
Local regulations and authorizations
Finally, some private heliports require prior authorization. In Tuscany, for example, access to certain properties or resorts by helicopter must be organized in coordination with the local authorities. The support of an experienced air broker is therefore essential.
Discover Italy differently
Extend your business or leisure trip with unique experiences: private cultural tours, exclusive tastings at wineries, personalized guided tours of Italian art treasures (Vatican, Uffizi Galleries, ancient ruins).
Additional services for your trip
-
Luxury transfers: limousines, chauffeur-driven cars, helicopters to quickly reach your residence or event venue.
