Private Jet Charters to Rome: March 2025 Flight Prices

Rome oozes culture and sophistication. Drinking fine wine on the Piazza, indulging in one of the many fine-dining options, or shopping in the countless designer boutiques. You’re seriously spoiled for choice in the Italian capital.

Rome has the advantage of being situated close to many neighboring countries, so it’s easy to dash off for a spot of lunch elsewhere. Charting your own private jet makes it even more convenient. And, when you’re ready to return to the delights of Rome, your private plane will be waiting to take you.

Rome is very well-connected and firmly on the map as one of the most popular destinations for private flyers. Here are some of the most traveled routes you can enjoy with a jet charter in 2022:

Dying to get to Rome? Let’s go into the detail of these favorite spots.

Topics

1. Private Charter: Venice to Rome

Venice is also in Italy, but it deserves mention because lovers of the Italian culture enjoy fitting in both cities during their time in Europe.

Venice is only 326 miles (526 km) from Rome, so it’s a very short journey by plane – about an hour in total. Prices begin at €6,100 for a turboprop. I thoroughly recommend this type of aircraft for a short journey because you can enjoy the scenery as you fly.

The prices reflect the short distance and are very reasonable. Unless you’ve got a very large party traveling with you, go for the smaller-sized jets to avoid paying more than necessary.

The prices below are based on privatefly.com rates. Note that other private charter companies might have lower or higher prices, depending on the company.

Aircraft Type	No of passengers	Price	Estimated flight time
Turboprop	4- 19	€6,100	1 h 10 min
Light Jet	4 – 11	€8,110	55 min
Midsize Jet	6 – 10	€10,210	50 min
Heavy Jet	6 – 96	€16,040	50 min

Venice to Rome: Airport Options

Marco Polo Airport

Since Venice exists entirely upon the water, space is limited. Therefore, you’ll only find one airport you can fly out from – Marco Polo Airport (VCE).

A shuttle will take you from the city centre in about 20 minutes. If you’d prefer more privacy and to travel in ultimate style, you can take a water taxi, which also takes about 20 minutes.

Marco Polo airport will handle your private flight charter with ease. The airport boasts the Marco Polo VIP club lounge with everything you’d expect from a luxury travel experience. Three FBOs also operate out of Venice airport:

2. Private Charter: Zurich to Rome

As well as serving as a major business hub for finance, Zurich’s close proximity to many upmarket ski resorts makes it a well-traveled route.

Taking less than an hour and a half, Zurich is a short hop from Rome and allows you to get a bite on the plane before landing. Prices are from €5,740 and the light jet is the preferred option for this route.

Zurich to Rome: Pricing Options

Here’s the rundown of prices for Zurich. I recommend the light jet as the better option simply for the speed and comfort.

The prices below are based on privatefly.com rates. Note that other private charter companies might have lower or higher prices, depending on the company.

Aircraft Type	No of passengers	Price	Estimated flight time
Turboprop	4- 19	€5,740	1 h 45 min
Light Jet	4 – 11	€8,100	1 h 20 min
Midsize Jet	6 – 10	€10,440	1 h 15 min
Heavy Jet	6 – 96	€16,380	1 h 15 min

Zurich to Rome: Airport Options

Zurich Airport

Zurich Airport (ZRH) is situated to the northeast of the city and a taxi or limousine service will take you to the airport from the city center in a mere 15 minutes.

If you’ve been there for pleasure, you can charter a helicopter from many of the ski resorts to the airport in around 45 minutes. You can pretty much go from the slopes and straight onto the plane.

VIP airport services include a VIP lounge, concierge, and meet and greet. You can choose from three FBO charters to get yourself to Rome:

3. Private Charter: Paris to Rome

Two vibrant cities that are bursting at the seams with incredible things to see and do.

Paris to Rome takes the best part of two hours and like the Zurich to Rome route, I recommend the light aircraft for speed and convenience. Prices start at around €8,720 for a turboprop or light jet from €11,660

Paris to Rome: Pricing Options

Another quick journey, with fairly reasonable prices. You can get yourself from one culture capital to another without breaking the bank. You can see the light jet is a lot quicker than the turboprop but only slightly more expensive, making it the ideal choice for this route.

The prices below are based on privatefly.com rates. Note that other private charter companies might have lower or higher prices, depending on the company.

Aircraft Type	No of passengers	Price	Estimated flight time
Turboprop	4- 19	€8,720	2 h 35 min
Light Jet	4 – 11	€11,660	1 h 55 min
Midsize Jet	6 – 10	€15,270	1 h 45 min
Heavy Jet	6 – 96	€24,640	1 h 45 min

Paris to Rome: Airport Options

Being the major international city that it is, Paris has a plethora of options available for your private charter. Three airport choices await you:

Charles de Gaulle (CDG)
Orly (ORY)
Le Bourget (LBG)

Paris Charles do Gaulle

Charles de Gaulle is the largest airport in Paris and is 35km north of the centre of Paris. The express train is very convenient, taking 30 minutes from the city center to the airport in total.

As the leading international airport in France, this is where most long-haul flights arrive and take off.

You can find one FBO in Charles de Gaulle:

Jetex

Additionally, VIP services include Jetex’s own boarding area and lounge, a VIP lounge and terminal in the main airport, and a special VIP terminal that is used by royalty, heads of state, celebrities, etc. You can use it but you must first request it and pay the fee.

Paris Orly

Orly is on the other side of Paris in the south. This location is convenient if you’re arriving from other areas of France that are more southern. The airport is 18 km from the city centre and close to Versailles. Orly doesn’t have any FBOs on site. That said, you can still arrange for your private charter to take off and land here.

Paris Le Bourget

Since you’re flying by private charter, you may prefer Le Bourget over the other options. Le Bourget only hosts private charters and is not available for commercial flights. The airport is situated in the north of Paris but closer to the centre than Charles de Gaulle.

If you must dash right back to Rome after your Parisian rendezvous, you’ll find Le Bourget is your most convenient option.

Seven FBOs await you here, so you have plenty of choices. Since the airport caters exclusively to VIP clients, you’ll find the amenities, lounges, and other facilities are top-notch.

4. Private Charter: Berlin to Rome

While Rome oozes culture, Berlin oozes coolness. Germany’s most famous city is hip and trendy, and you’ll find plenty going on here all year round.

Getting back to Rome is easy from Berlin and only takes about two hours. Prices start from €9,220. The view is free, though!

Berlin to Rome: Pricing Options

The light jet is the best option here and perfect if time is of the essence. For a more leisurely ride, the turboprop is definitely a fun choice.

The prices below are based on privatefly.com rates. Note that other private charter companies might have lower or higher prices, depending on the company.

Aircraft Type	No of passengers	Price	Estimated flight time
Turboprop	4- 19	€9,220	2 h 45 min
Light Jet	4 – 11	€12,020	2 h
Midsize Jet	6 – 10	€15,980	1 h 50 min
Heavy Jet	6 – 96	€26,130	1 h 50 min

Berlin to Rome: Airport Options

Brandenburg Airport

Berlin used to have two airports; however, the Schönefeld site permanently closed in 2020. The only option now is to fly from Brandenburg (BER).

The airport is situated to the south of Berlin and is well-connected by an efficient public transport system. The S-Bahns S9 and S45 take less than 30 minutes and run directly from the city centre, and arrive at terminals one and two. A taxi is another option but takes a little longer at 45 minutes from the centre.

Brandenburg is fully equipped for VIP travel. Numerous VIP lounges are at your disposal, including one run by the onsite FBO Execujet. Private check-in facilities and exclusive vehicle access all make for a smooth, stress-free experience.

The FBOs can be found here:

5. Private Charter: London to Rome

London is one of the most popular destinations in the world. Numerous airports give you flexibility and with an average flight time of just over two hours, you can be back in Rome in time for lunch.

Prices start from €10,120 (£9,122) for a turboprop, a fantastic way to see London from above as you make your way home.

London to Rome: Pricing Options

Since London – Rome is a short journey, light jets or turboprops fit the bill nicely. However, if you need more space or have lots of people with you, the midsize and heavy jet options are reasonable.

The prices below are based on privatefly.com rates. Note that other private charter companies might have lower or higher prices, depending on the company.

Aircraft Type	No of passengers	Price	Estimated flight time
Turboprop	4- 19	€10,120 (£9,122)	3 h 10 min

Heavy Jet	6 – 96	€22,968 (£22,914)	2 h 05 min

London to Rome: Airport Options

So many options! London boasts six airports, although I’ve omitted London Luton in this article as it’s the least convenient option (and despite its name, also nowhere near London).

The other five airport choices are:

Gatwick (LGW)
Heathrow (LHR)
London City (LCY)
Biggin Hill (BQH)
Stansted (STN)

Let’s take a closer look at them all.

Gatwick

London City Jet Centre

Biggin Hill

This location is popular with business travelers because it offers six-minute helicopter transfers from the city to the airport, making it the fastest way to reach an airport from central London.

Two FBOs are present at this small airport and offer supreme comfort with their VIP lounges and services.

Stansted

Stansted, despite being located around 40 miles northeast of the city centre, is the private flyers’ airport of choice. There are plenty of helicopter transfers available to get you to the heart of London in about 15-20 minutes.

A huge range of FBOs are at your disposal, each featuring its own lounges, facilities, and VIP services:

6. Private Charter: Lisbon to Rome

Lisbon is the route of choice when heading back from some much-needed R&R in the stunning Algarve.

You have lots of choices ranging from €15,135 (£13,218) in price. With journey times around three hours, you can either take a little longer and enjoy the views or invest in a bigger jet and be home faster.

Lisbon to Rome: Pricing Options

The midsize jet is the most economical option as it doesn’t require a refueling stop and takes a lot less time than the light aircraft options.

Which Jets Can Fly You To Rome?

With so many beautiful jets at your disposal, which one do you choose?

It mostly depends on the length of your journey with lighter crafts being better for short hops to Rome. Long-haul journeys are definitely preferable with midsize or heavy jets.

Let’s look at them in more detail, including some of my favorite jet models.

Turboprops

If you’re planning many short trips and using Roma as a base, then a turboprop is ideal. These small propeller-based planes are quick and efficient for flights that are about an hour in length. If you’re popping over to Switzerland, France, or Germany from Rome, then you should choose a turboprop.

Built to handle short runways, these small crafts can achieve 300 knots with a range of 1,500 miles (2414 km).

The Twin Diamond Star is a beautiful-looking turboprop. You get a similar space to that of a saloon car. You can sit in or directly behind the flight deck and take in the outstanding views as you travel to your destination.

Light Jets

Also a small aircraft but minus the propellors, light jets are faster and can travel for longer. Traveling from London to Rome, for example, is more comfortable in a light jet. Capable of achieving a 1,700 mile (2735 km) range, this speedy little craft can get up to 400 knots.

For the ultimate in business travel, try the Embraer Phenom 300 / 300E. The stylish design is capable of reaching the maximum range of a light jet and with a spacious cabin (for a small craft) you can kick back in comfort.

Midsize – Super Midsize Jets

For the best of speed and comfort you want a midsize jet. This is the most popular option for private charters as you get a generous-sized cabin for you and your traveling companions. These crafts can go up to 460 knots and with a range of 2,200 (3,540 km), you’ll be at your destination in no time.

The Swiss-designed Pilatus PC-24 features the precision engineering that Switzerland is renowned for. It has been designed to effortlessly handle shorter runways, which gives you more flexibility about where you land.

A spacious cabin and luggage hold makes this model the aircraft of choice for many travelers.

Heavy Jets

As the name suggests, these jets are large, heavy, and a great choice if you have a large entourage or need to go long distance. For example, you’ll need a heavy jet to get yourself from Hong Kong to Rome. Reaching 6,000 miles (9656 km) with top speeds of 521 knots, spacious cabins, and plenty of room for luggage, heavy jets tick all the boxes.

If the Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) is good enough for major world governments, then it’s good enough for you! Featuring an excellent range and superb comfort and style, The Boeing Business Jet (BBJ) is the only way to travel long-haul.

Conclusion

As roads and highways continue to get busier and more congested, it’s no wonder that chartering your own private jet has become the most convenient way to get around.

As they say, “all roads lead to Rome” and in the case of private charters, it’s most certainly the case. With so much choice and convenience on offer, how could you not explore?
