Private Jet Flights Figari
Private Jet Charter arranges on-demand private jet flights to and from Figari, Corsica.
Figari is the private gateway to southern Corsica — Porto-Vecchio, Bonifacio, and the beaches that rank among the most beautiful in Europe. Reaching this corner of the Mediterranean by airline usually means a connection and a long transfer, or a ferry crossing that can cost an entire day. A private jet flight lands you at Figari, about 25 minutes from the Porto-Vecchio marina, with your villa or yacht a short drive away.
Figari is a capable airport — an 8,136-foot runway at sea level, its own customs, and a dedicated business-aviation terminal — and it handles the majority of southern Corsica’s private-jet traffic. Nearly any cabin can use it, from a light jet to an ultra-long-range flagship able to cross the Atlantic nonstop from the U.S. East Coast.
The one thing that shapes a summer trip here is access. From June through September, Figari is a slot-coordinated airport with limited operating hours, and demand for those slots is intense. That’s where an experienced advisor earns the trip: we secure the slot early, arrange the terminal handling and the transfer to your door, and build the itinerary around the airport’s summer hours.
Demand is highly seasonal, concentrated from June to September and peaking in July and August, when the megayachts fill Porto-Vecchio’s marina. In high season, slots, villas, and aircraft all go weeks ahead.

Figari Airports
Figari Sud-Corse (FSC) sits about two miles from Figari village and roughly 25 minutes from Porto-Vecchio, at the southern end of Corsica. It’s the island’s leading private-jet airport, handling the majority of southern Corsica’s business-aviation traffic, with a single 8,136-foot runway at sea level, ILS and RNAV approaches, and a dedicated VIP terminal opened in 2021 for private travelers.
That runway accommodates virtually every business jet, from very light cabins through heavy and ultra-long-range aircraft capable of a nonstop transatlantic crossing — and Figari has its own customs for arrivals from outside the Schengen area.
The defining operational factor is the summer slot program. From June through September, Figari is a Level-3 slot-coordinated airport, which means every arrival and departure needs an allocated slot, and demand for them runs high. Operating hours run roughly 6 a.m. to 10 p.m., extended toward 11:30 p.m. at the height of summer. None of this is an obstacle with planning — it simply means the slot has to be secured early and the itinerary built around the hours.
Airport options:
- Ajaccio (AJA) — Corsica’s largest airport, about 1.5 to 2 hours northwest, a fallback when Figari’s summer slots are full or a route calls for it.
- Bastia (BIA) — in the north of the island, farther by road, another Corsica option for flexible routing.
How Much Does a Private Jet Charter to Figari Cost?
Average hourly charter rates vary by aircraft category:
- $2,500–$5,000 per hour — turboprops and light jets
- $5,000–$9,500 per hour — midsize and super-midsize jets
- $8,500–$14,000 per hour — heavy jets
- $13,000–$22,000+ per hour — ultra-long-range jets
Your final price depends on several things: aircraft type, distance, repositioning, airport fees, travel dates, and demand.
Most European trips to Figari run on light and midsize jets — short hops from Nice, Geneva, Paris, or Milan. Transatlantic flights from the U.S. East Coast move up to ultra-long-range cabins that can make the crossing nonstop.
Timing drives price more here than almost anywhere. July and August are the most expensive and the first to sell out, and summer slots tighten alongside aircraft and villas — so book several weeks ahead for peak-season travel.

Top Private Jet Routes to and from Figari
Figari draws private travelers from across Europe and, in summer, from the United States. Some of the most requested routes include:
- Nice ⇄ Figari — a short Mediterranean hop, one of the most popular routes to the island.
- Paris (Le Bourget) ⇄ Figari — the core French route, on light and midsize jets.
- Geneva ⇄ Figari — steady summer traffic from Switzerland.
- London ⇄ Figari — a popular UK route on midsize and super-midsize cabins.
- Milan ⇄ Figari — a quick hop for Italian and yachting travelers.
- New York / Teterboro ⇄ Figari — the marquee transatlantic route, nonstop on ultra-long-range jets, cleared through Figari’s customs.
- Miami ⇄ Figari — an East Coast transatlantic run on ultra-long-range aircraft, sometimes with a fuel stop.
- Los Angeles ⇄ Figari — a West Coast option, typically with one fuel stop en route.
Most of these arrive directly at Figari; larger transatlantic cabins clear customs on the field.
Empty Leg Flights to Figari
Empty leg flights can be one of the most cost-effective ways to fly private. These repositioning flights happen when an aircraft has to relocate for its next charter. That lets you book the empty segment at a steep discount — often 25% to 75% below standard pricing.
Corsica sees heavy private-jet traffic all summer, with aircraft repositioning constantly between Figari, the French Riviera, and Italy. That movement creates regular empty-leg opportunities on the major routes. The trade-off is flexibility, since the original trip sets the route and dates — and in high season, slot availability as well.

Figari Overview
Figari sits at the southern tip of Corsica, the mountainous French island between the Riviera and the Italian coast, often known as the “Isle of Beauty.” The commune itself is small and quiet, but it serves as the arrival point for one of the Mediterranean’s most sought-after summer regions — the coastline running from Porto-Vecchio south to Bonifacio.
Porto-Vecchio, about 25 minutes north, is the glamorous heart of it: a former Genoese citadel above a marina that fills each summer with megayachts, ringed by chic boutiques, waterfront restaurants, and a lively nightlife. Bonifacio, to the south, is more dramatic still — a medieval town perched on white limestone cliffs above a natural harbor, with sea caves and the islands of the Strait beyond.
Between and around them lie the beaches the region is famous for, and a coastline that has drawn celebrities, yacht owners, and a stylish international crowd for decades. Sardinia and its Costa Smeralda are a short hop away by sea, making southern Corsica a natural base for a Mediterranean summer.
What to Do in Figari
- Palombaggia and Santa Giulia — Corsica’s signature beaches, with white sand and shallow turquoise water; Santa Giulia’s calm lagoon is a family favorite.
- Bonifacio — the clifftop citadel, its stepped old town, and boat trips to the sea caves and the Lavezzi Islands.
- Porto-Vecchio — the old town, the marina, and the summer dining and nightlife scene.
- Rondinara — a shell-shaped bay between Porto-Vecchio and Bonifacio, among the most beautiful in Europe.
- Yachting and the sea — the Strait of Bonifacio, the Lavezzi archipelago, and Sardinia’s coast, all within easy cruising range.
Where to Stay in Figari
- Hotel Casadelmar (Porto-Vecchio) — the marquee: a five-star Relais & Châteaux design hotel on the gulf, with the only two-Michelin-star restaurant in Corsica and a private villa.
- Grand Hôtel de Cala Rossa & Spa NUCCA — a five-star Relais & Châteaux beachfront hotel at Cala Rossa, long a byword for seclusion, with an expansive spa and private beach.
- Les Bergeries de Palombaggia — a luxury boutique hotel set in the maquis near Palombaggia beach, for a quieter, design-led stay.
- Private villas — the natural choice for families and groups: sea-view estates with pools along the Porto-Vecchio coast, arranged with concierge, staff, and transfers from the airport.
Whether you’re flying in to join a yacht, settle into a villa for the summer, or spend a week on the beaches, our charter advisors coordinate every detail — from matching the right aircraft and securing airport slots well in advance during the summer season to arranging VIP-terminal handling, ground or helicopter transfers, and concierge services.
