How far in advance should I book a private jet to Porto Cervo?

For the widest choice of aircraft and departure times, we recommend booking your private jet to Porto Cervo one to three weeks in advance. Earlier booking is particularly advisable during July and August, major Yacht Club Costa Smeralda regattas, peak summer weekends and other high-demand dates when aircraft availability, airport slots and parking at Olbia can become limited. Last-minute and same-day private jet flights can also be arranged, subject to aircraft, crew, handling, slots and parking availability. Through its global operator network, PVJets can quickly compare available aircraft and recommend the most suitable option for your schedule.

Can I fly to Porto Cervo by private jet with pets?

Yes. Dogs, cats and ferrets can often travel in the cabin on a private jet to Porto Cervo, subject to aircraft-operator approval and compliance with Italian and European Union pet-entry requirements. For animals travelling between EU countries, requirements generally include: A compliant microchip A valid rabies vaccination A valid EU pet passport Pets arriving from many non-EU countries normally require an EU animal health certificate, and a rabies antibody titration test may also be required depending on the country of origin. PVJets can coordinate the aircraft and ground-handling arrangements before departure. Pet documentation should always be verified for the specific animal, country of origin and itinerary.

Does Olbia Airport have a night curfew for private jets?

Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport operates 24 hours a day, but standard General Aviation Terminal handling hours are generally 07:00–22:00 local time. Private flights outside these hours may be possible with advance arrangements. Extended operations can require additional coordination with airport authorities, customs, police, security, fire services and the General Aviation Terminal. PVJets checks current airport hours, slots, handling availability, NOTAMs and any required extensions before confirming every private jet flight to or from Olbia.

What is the customs and immigration process when arriving in Olbia by private jet?

Italy is part of the Schengen Area. Private flights arriving at Olbia from another Schengen country generally do not undergo routine external-border immigration checks, although authorities retain the right to conduct controls. Private flights arriving from outside the Schengen Area are subject to Italian and Schengen border-entry requirements. For relevant extra-EU flights, the aircraft operator and handling agent must provide the required passenger manifest and General Declaration before departure. PVJets coordinates the operator, Eccelsa handling team and required passenger information in advance so that arrival procedures can be completed as efficiently as possible. Passengers remain responsible for holding the required passports, visas and travel documents.

Can large private jets land at Olbia Airport?

Yes. Olbia Costa Smeralda Airport can accommodate large-cabin and ultra-long-range private jets. Its 2,740-metre runway provides ample infrastructure for aircraft including Gulfstream, Bombardier Global and Dassault Falcon long-range business jets under normal operating conditions. During the peak Costa Smeralda summer season, parking and slot availability can be more restrictive than runway capability. Early planning is therefore particularly important for large aircraft during July, August and major regatta dates. PVJets verifies aircraft performance, handling, slots and parking before confirming every large-cabin private jet charter to Porto Cervo.
