With the ski season in full swing, leading aircraft charter specialist, Air Charter Service, takes a look at the benefits of private aviation to get even closer to your final skiing destination. CEO of ACS’s Geneva office, Arthur Guibert, goes into the details in this video.
Arthur explains: “The four main airports used for skiing trips in Switzerland are Geneva, Sion, Gstaad and St. Moritz/Samedan, but Sion has very limited scheduled services, and the latter two don’t handle international commercial flights. Chartering an aircraft is a good option to get closer to the resorts, sometimes cutting more than two hours off of road transit times.
The majority of charters to these airports for skiing trips are from within Europe, as those from farther afield often fly into Geneva or Zurich before transferring to a private aircraft. Having said that, we have already seen direct private jet charters into some of these airports this season from as far away as North and South America, as well as from Asia.
“This season is already shaping up to one of our busiest – in fact, taking just these four airports into consideration, we have seen increases in the number of private jet flights into and out of each one this year, adding up to a total growth in charter numbers of 52% year-on-year, across all four.”
The video goes into more detail about the considerations when booking private jet charters into the country, including expert tips and local legislations.
