Italy is one of the world’s most sought-after private aviation destinations — a country where fashion, history, coastline, and cuisine converge in a way that rewards those who arrive on their own terms. Flying privately means direct access to boutique airports, flexible scheduling, and none of the congestion that defines commercial travel through Rome Fiumicino or Milan Malpensa.

With ASM Charter, your journey to Italy is handled end-to-end — from permit coordination and slot allocation to VIP ground transfers and luxury hotel connections.
Why Fly Private to Italy?
Italy offers a unique combination of world-class airports, stunning regional destinations, and a private aviation infrastructure that caters to discerning travelers. Flying by private jet gives you the freedom to land closer to your final destination, skip major hubs entirely, and move on your schedule — not an airline’s.
What Draws High-Net-Worth Travelers to Italy
- Fashion Capitals: Direct access to Milan and Florence for events like Milan Fashion Week.
- Coastal Escapes: Secluded arrivals in Portofino, Sardinia (Olbia), and the Amalfi Coast.
- Wine & Heritage: Exclusive retreats across Tuscany and Piedmont.
- Alpine Luxury: Winter access to the Dolomites via specialized mountain airports.
Italian Landing Permits & Slot Coordination
Navigating Italian airspace requires precision. Non-EU registered aircraft (Third Country Operators) typically require Italian landing permits with a 24 to 72-hour processing window. Slot coordination at restricted hubs adds another layer of planning, particularly during peak seasons such as summer on the Sardinian coast or Fashion Week in Milan.
ASM manages the full permit and slot process — documentation, submission, and confirmation — so nothing delays your arrival.

Stay at the Bulgari Hotel or Armani Hotel. These are best accessed via Linate (LIN) for the fastest transfer to the city center.

FAQs: Private Jet to Italy
How do I obtain an Italian landing permit through ASM?
ASM manages the entire application with the Italian Civil Aviation Authorities, ensuring all documentation meets EU safety standards and that the Italian Aero Tax is prepaid for a seamless arrival.
What is the flight time from Dubai to Italy by private jet?
A non-stop flight from Dubai (DXB) to Rome Ciampino (CIA) typically takes 6 to 7 hours depending on aircraft type and routing. From London, flights to Milan Linate take approximately 2 to 2.5 hours.
Can a heavy jet land at Florence Peretola (LIRQ)?
Florence has a relatively short runway, making it ideal for light and mid-size jets. Larger long-range aircraft may need to operate via Pisa (PSA) or Bologna (BLQ). ASM performs aircraft-specific feasibility checks for every mission.
What is the Italian Aero Tax and does it apply to my flight?
The Imposta Erariale applies to passengers on private and air taxi flights operating within Italian territory. ASM calculates and prepays this tax as part of the booking process to prevent any delays during CIQ clearance.
