Saint-Tropez La Môle : private jet rental

Saint-Tropez La Môle: Introduction

Your next vacation in Saint-Tropez is fast approaching and you’re looking for a private jet rental service? Whether you’re planning a family getaway or a last-minute business trip, AEROAFFAIRES can book your customized private flight at the best possible rate.

History of Saint-Tropez La Môle :

Located in the heart of the Côte d’Azur, La Môle Saint-Tropez airport boasts a terminal entirely dedicated to private aviation. It is one of the world’s smallest international airports, but also a vehicle for raising the profile of the Gulf of Saint-Tropez. St Tropez confirms its place in the world of high-end tourism.

The La Môle aerodrome has its own limitations, and a number of external factors such as the size of clouds, heat or wind conditions need to be taken into account when planning your trip, as they may limit your ability to act on site. In particular, it is advisable to take off or land in the morning or at the end of the day, rather than in the afternoon. The best times to avoid are between 12pm and 5pm. This is the period when restrictions are most likely to be applied, and it will help you avoid a probable detour of the plane, to Toulon for example.

AEROAFFAIRES provides you with all the information you need to travel with peace of mind to one of the jet-set’s most popular holiday destinations. All our private jets are certified for Public Transport to guarantee your safety.

Whatever the aircraft you need: light cab aircraft for one to fouratrpersons, helicopter, commercial aircraft for a group of VIPs. Our experts are at your service 24 hours a day to find the private jet best suited to your needs.

A helicopter transfer to Nice, Toulon, Cannes or Marseille will also save you time.

What’s more, AEROAFFAIRES is committed to protecting the planet. For every private jet rental, we offset 100 % des émissions de CO2 by supporting the preservation of South America’s primary forests through our programme SkyCO2.

Practical information about Saint-Tropez La Môle airport

La Môle Saint-Tropez airport is open 7 days a week, from 9am to 5pm in winter and from 8am to 7pm in summer. Extensions can be requested for take-off around 7:30 am and later arrival if before sunset, as night flights are not possible.

La Môle Saint-Tropez airport contact details :

• Airport Code : LFTZ/LTT
• Latitude: 43.2053N
• Longitude: 6.48155E
• Altitude: 18 meters
• Runway length: 1180 meters

Keep in mind that flights are limited by the short length of the runway (1071 m available for take-off and 931 m for landing), allowing turboprops (such as the King Air models) and light private jets (such as the Citation Mustang, Phenom 100 or Phenom 300), but restricting access to larger aircraft. Weather conditions are also a major limitation, as the airport is surrounded by high relief. If the outside temperature is too high (affecting the asphalt runway), or if wind speeds exceed 30 km/h, for example, aircraft are redirected to Toulon Hyères airport. Pilots must obtain a special qualification from the Direction Générale de l’Aviation Civile Sud-Est. With over 4,000 aircraft, the number of commercial movements is further limited to 10,000 a year, to avoid noise pollution.

In September 2016, several border crossings were closed, including La Môle. As the airport no longer had customs status, only flights to and from the Schengen area were possible, a decision not without consequences. Finally, since July 2017, the border post has been open during the high season only, so international flights can take place from June 15 to September 30. For other times of the year, please refer to Toulon Hyères, Cannes Mandelieu, Nice or Marseille airports.

The airport’s SkyValet terminal is entirely dedicated to business and private aviation. You’ll find all the comforts you’d expect from this type of airport:

• Personalized welcome ;
• VIP lounges ;
• Meeting room (50 people);
• Catering services.

History of Saint-Tropez airport

Inaugurated in 1964, the airport soon focused on business aviation, and in 1983 was listed as a category D French airfield: intended for business, private and domestic travelers. Saved from bankruptcy by the Michel Reybier Group in 2010, the airport specializes in high-end tourism and is regularly upgraded. Since 2006, it has become increasingly involved in ecological initiatives, using electric golfettes to transport baggage and an external energy generator to power aircraft, while reducing CO2 emissions and noise pollution.

Private jets in Saint-Tropez: recommendations

Made famous by Brigitte Bardot in the 60s, the Provencal village of Saint-Tropez has gradually become the preferred destination of the worldly Tout-Paris and the international jet-set. Whether you’re here on vacation or just stopping off on your way to the Cannes Film Festival, there are a number of events not to be missed.

Where to stay in Saint-Tropez

Once you’ve arrived in the legendary village of Saint-Tropez, we recommend you book a room at the 5-star Château de la Messardière. A charming ^19th-century palace, this hotel, which is also the largest in Saint-Tropez, also organizes weddings, receptions and seminars. La Réserve Ramatuelle may also be of interest to you if you wish to take advantage of their luxury spas and villas.

What to do in Saint Tropez

We recommend a stop at La Vague d’Or, a three-star restaurant renowned for its gastronomic quality. The young, talented chef Arnaud Donckele works wonders with the region’s infinite palette of herbs. Club 55, meanwhile, offers top-of-the-range Mediterranean cuisine.

AEROAFFAIRES we also recommend Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, a major event organized every September to bring together amateurs and professionals around 400 sailboats.

In March, the Festival Armen brings together numerous artists to celebrate art, the sea and snow.

In May, the Bravade de Saint-Tropez celebrates Saint Torpes, a high dignitary in the House of Nero who, in 68 AD, refused to renounce Christianity and was beheaded. His body was thrown onto a barge that arrived on the city’s shores. Discovered by a Roman matrone, he was hidden by the Christians, who made this martyr the city’s holy patron.

Finally, we recommend a visit to the Saint-Tropez market, which takes place twice a week, on Tuesday and Saturday mornings, on Place des Lices, in the heart of the village.
