Florence Private Jet Charter Flights
When you land in a private plane at Peretola Airport, you’ll find yourself 5 miles from the Duomo, and the hills of Fiesole rise to the north of the city. Private jet passengers fly to Florence for the “Pitti Uomo” exhibition at the Fortezza da Basso, to visit artisans’ workshops in the Oltrarno district, and to spend the weekend at villas in Chianti. Many fly in for weddings in the Tuscan countryside, where guests arrive on several planes over the course of two or three days.
Florence Airport, Peretola (FLR) is the best option for light and medium-sized aircraft, but its runway is short and surrounded by hills. Pisa International Airport (PSA) and Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ) accommodate large aircraft that cannot use Florence Airport. Florence is best explored on foot, from the Uffizi Galleries to the shops along the Arno River.

Private Jet Airports near Florence
Three airports serve charter flights by private aircraft to Florence and Tuscany.
- Florence Airport, Peretola (FLR): 5 miles northwest of downtown Florence. The runway is approximately 5,100 feet long, and with mountains nearby, Peretola is suitable for light and medium-sized aircraft; each flight requires prior landing clearance, which is arranged by the operator.
- Pisa International Airport (PSA): Located approximately 53 miles west of Florence by highway. The runway at Pisa is about 10,000 feet long, and we recommend this airport for heavy aircraft and nonstop flights to the United States.
- Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ): Located approximately 65 miles north of Florence by highway. Bologna Airport also accommodates heavy aircraft, and it is the closest airport for visiting Maranello and the Ferrari factory.
Passengers on private jets at Peretola Airport, in addition to the commercial terminal, use FBO services such as Italy FBO by Corporate Air Service.
- Lounges: The FBO at Peretola features a VIP lounge and private meeting rooms. Italy is part of the Schengen Area, so passengers arriving from Nice or Olbia do not undergo passport control, while passengers arriving from London undergo it upon arrival.
- Ground Transportation: We arrange a car with a driver for the trip to Florence (5 miles) or for a longer journey to a villa in Chianti. The T2 tram also runs from the airport to the Santa Maria Novella train station area.
- Aircraft Services: Fueling and ground power services are available at Peretola Airport. In July and August, we ask the operator to cool the aircraft cabin before landing, and in the event of a long layover, we coordinate the aircraft parking spot with the operator in advance.
- Concierge Services: We can book rooms at the Four Seasons Hotel Firenze or at Villa San Michele in Fiesole, as well as arrange in-flight meals for the return flight. For visits to the Pitti Uomo exhibition in January and June, we recommend booking flights and hotels in advance.

Most heavy jets cannot use the airport in Florence.

For heavy aircraft, we recommend the airports in Pisa or Bologna. The drive from Pisa to Florence takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes, and we’ll arrange for a car to pick you up right at the aircraft.

What do I get on board a midsize jet out of Florence?
A midsize jet from Florence is equipped with a private restroom, an onboard galley for serving hot and cold meals, and can accommodate six to eight passengers; many medium-sized planes also have Wi-Fi. Light jets are smaller in size and suitable for short flights to Nice or Olbia. Heavy jets have a cabin where you can stand and reclining seats. We check the amenities available on each specific aircraft before you make a reservation.
