Private jet and helicopter access for Switzerland, Italy, the Côte d’Azur, the Greek Islands and long-range international travel.
Private aviation is most valuable when it gives a journey its proper rhythm: direct access, discretion, precise timing and the right aircraft for the terrain.
Our Alpine & Mediterranean Private Aviation service is designed for clients who require private flights, seamless transfers and highly tailored aviation support across Europe and beyond. It is especially suited to travellers moving between Switzerland, Italy, the French Riviera, the Mediterranean islands and demanding alpine airports where operational expertise is essential.
The service is built around decades of private aviation experience, multilingual coordination and a discreet approach trusted by leaders, CEOs, prominent international figures and private travellers requiring corporate or luxury travel. Every itinerary is handled with attention to safety, timing, comfort and privacy, from the first aircraft proposal to arrival at the final destination.
Fleet
The aviation portfolio covers both private jets and helicopters, allowing each journey to be shaped according to distance, runway conditions, passenger profile, altitude, luggage, onward transfers and the level of privacy required.
For short and complex runways, the Pilatus PC-12 offers a highly practical solution. It is particularly relevant for destinations such as Gstaad, St. Moritz, Venice Lido and St. Tropez, where access can be limited and runway performance matters.
The Pilatus PC-24 is a strong option for travellers seeking light jet efficiency with greater versatility. It is well suited to short and medium sectors, regional airport access and refined point-to-point travel.
For longer private jet journeys, aircraft such as the Challenger 350 offer an elegant balance of range, cabin comfort and performance, including routes between Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Dubai and wider international destinations.
For long-range and ocean-crossing itineraries, aircraft such as the Falcon 7X and Gulfstream 650 provide the comfort, range and privacy required for intercontinental travel without unnecessary refuelling stops.
The helicopter fleet includes twin-engine aircraft such as the EC135 and Agusta A109S VIP, both appreciated for comfort, design and operational confidence. For high-altitude transfers, the Airbus H125+ offers a strong solution, especially in mountainous environments.
At Lugano Airport, access to the Pilatus PC-12 and Pilatus PC-24 supports a dedicated flying programme for clients travelling within Switzerland, to Italy and to key Mediterranean destinations, including the Costa Smeralda and Greece. Individual clients and companies may access structured flight-hour packages according to their specific travel needs.
Destinations
This product is particularly relevant for travellers who move between refined European destinations where timing and access shape the entire experience.
Key alpine destinations include Courchevel, Gstaad, St. Moritz, Sion, St. Moritz-Samedan and Gstaad-Saanen, with direct access to complex mountain airports that require specialised operational knowledge.
For the Mediterranean and summer season, relevant routes include Capri, Monte Carlo, Saint-Tropez, Porto Cervo, the Costa Smeralda and the Greek Islands. These destinations are often defined by limited slots, seasonal congestion, maritime connections and the need to align flight timing with villas, yachts, hotels, private events or family schedules.
Additional access extends across Switzerland, Italy, France, Spain and wider Europe, with long-range private jet capability for the Middle East and global routes when required.
Services
The service extends beyond the aircraft.
Clients may request a complete aviation and concierge framework, including:
- Meet and greet directly at the aircraft, for both private and commercial arrivals

Every element can be adapted to the traveller, group, company or occasion. For corporate clients, the service can support executive movements, incentive travel, private rewards for top performers and discreet flight experiences designed around recognition, retention and high-level hospitality.
Why It Matters
Some destinations ask for more than a flight. Alpine airports such as Sion, Gstaad-Saanen and St. Moritz-Samedan require aircraft suitability, pilot expertise and careful operational planning. Mediterranean destinations require timing, slot awareness and coordination with transfers on land or sea. Long-range travel requires aircraft selection that protects privacy and comfort across continents.
For Exclusive Elite Travel clients, this service is best used as part of a larger private journey: a chalet arrival in the Alps, a summer transfer to the Costa Smeralda, a villa stay in Greece, a discreet movement to Monaco, a cultural weekend in Switzerland, a private event in Italy or a long-range itinerary connecting Europe with the Middle East.
The aircraft is selected with the same care as the destination itself. The route, cabin, luggage, arrival airport, onward transfer and level of assistance are all considered together, so the journey remains fluid from departure to arrival.
A private aviation request begins with the traveller’s route, timing and purpose. From there, the right aircraft, transfer logic and support services can be shaped with discretion.
