Palma, Mallorca

Mallorca is easily one of Europe's most popular vacation spots, thanks to its spectacular coastline and warm summers. Millions of sun-seekers flock to this ancient Balearic island each year to enjoy its mountain villages, historical landmarks and hidden coves. The capital, Palma, beautifully blends lively nightlife with classic Spanish architecture. Its old town is full of narrow alleyways lined with quaint cafés and restaurants, all overlooked by the grand Santa Maria Cathedral.

To start arranging your group or private jet charter to Mallorca, simply contact The Travel Division at Air Charter Service, and our friendly team will be ready to assist. Depending on the size of aircraft, we can secure a landing slot that suits your schedule at either Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) or Son Bonet Airport (SBO). From there, for the ultimate experience in luxury holidays by private jet, we can arrange a chauffeur-driven transfer for the five-mile journey directly to the capital.

Nice, France

Just a short hop from Monaco, Nice is renowned for its glorious coastline, fine dining and designer boutiques. Among the region's luxury hotels, a top pick is the grand Hôtel Negresco, an opulent base boasting sea views and Michelin-starred dining. Another favourite is the more contemporary Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée, located near the Old Town. Shopaholics should head straight for Avenue Jean Médecin, Rue de France or high-end Rue Paradis.

For private jet travel to the French Riviera, the closest airport is Nice Côte d’Azur (NCE). It features a dedicated private terminal where travellers can transit in complete luxury and privacy.

Teterboro, New York City

Set just 19 kilometres from downtown Manhattan, Teterboro's 23 hangars, five FBOs and 24-hour availability make it one of the world's busiest private jet travel hubs. While it's primarily a business getaway, nearby New York City offers an abundance of luxury hotels, restaurants and famous landmarks, from Central Park and Broadway to the Empire State Building and Times Square.

The list of things to see and do is virtually endless. You can cross the Brooklyn Bridge to browse vintage shops, catch a basketball game, or visit the fun-packed amusement parks at beachfront Coney Island. You could also watch world-class sporting events, including the US Open in Queens, or enjoy Long Island's popular golf courses, rolling vineyards and stunning coastline.

Faro, Portugal

Southern Portugal’s Algarve region is a long-standing favourite for exclusive jet getaways, with charter clients drawn to its quaint inland villages and idyllic seaside resorts. The regional capital, Faro, with its scenic marina, pretty plazas and historic old town, is a great gateway to nearby beauty spots, including the Ria Formosa lagoon.

We can book your group or private jet charter to Faro Airport (FAO), which places you within an hour's drive of the Algarve’s best luxury resorts. For even faster access, our team can arrange a helicopter charter to whisk you directly to your destination.

Malaga, Spain

Málaga in Spain is a dynamic, multi-layered city that has transformed itself into a true luxury travel destination. It's grabbing our clients' attention with new art galleries, a revamped port area and a thriving culinary scene. You can find everything here, from casual tapas to Michelin-starred fine dining. The city is also packed with fascinating historic sights, such as an ancient Roman amphitheatre and an 11th-century Moorish fortress.

Beyond its status as a cultural hotspot, Málaga's prime location on one of Europe's most picturesque coastlines makes it a hugely popular spot for anyone seeking sun, sea and sand. Nearby, Marbella offers a haven of glamorous beaches, while the fishing village of La Carihuela provides a quieter retreat.

Cannes, France

Nestled on the exclusive French Riviera, Cannes is world-renowned for its legendary annual film festival, which draws throngs of Hollywood stars every May. But even without this cinematic spectacle, the glamorous resort town is a jet-setter's dream.

Imagine yourself dining at swanky seafront restaurants along the famous Boulevard de la Croisette or shopping shoulder-to-shoulder with celebrities in high-end fashion boutiques. It’s a truly chic and sophisticated experience.

For your stay, palatial hotels like the InterContinental Carlton Cannes and the Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic are excellent choices. Rooms can book out far in advance, especially during major events, so we recommend early reservations.

Planning your trip? We can arrange your group or private jet charter to Cannes-Mandelieu Airport. It's just a five-kilometre drive from the town centre, making your arrival effortless. Contact one of our account managers today to organize your bespoke travel arrangements.

Malta & Gozo

Malta is an idyllic archipelago between Sicily and Tunisia, perfectly positioned for a sun-drenched beach escape or Mediterranean yacht charter. The main island is known for beautiful beaches, such as Mellieha Bay on the east coast and Golden Bay on the west coast, with excellent snorkelling and diving in the crystal-clear waters.

This captivating destination is steeped in history, from ancient Mdina’s historic citadel and baroque cathedrals to astonishing sites like Hal Saflieni Hypogeum, an underground necropolis dating back 5,000 years. 

Contact us today to book your private jet charter to Malta International Airport’s VIP terminal. We can also arrange a helicopter charter to Gozo for those basing themselves on Malta’s quieter sister island.

Antigua

With its palm-fringed beaches, lush rainforest and historic sites, Antigua is perfect for a sun-soaked Caribbean getaway. The tropical paradise is home to a range of luxury five-star resorts, from the romantic haven of Hermitage Bay, an SLH Hotel, to the lively atmosphere and watersports of family-friendly Dickenson Bay.

When you’re not relaxing by the pool, immerse yourself in local heritage with a tour of St John’s colourful buildings, grand churches and historic forts. Or charter a yacht from the English Harbour (a former British naval base) to explore breathtaking bays further afield.

Marrakech, Morocco

Known as the Red City thanks to its traditional clay buildings, Marrakesh is an exotic hotch-potch of souks, squares, courtyards and mosques in western Morocco. The country’s first imperial city is dotted with world-class hotels and restaurants, drawing private jet clients from all over the world to experience this North African hotspot in luxury.

Say goodbye to fixed prices and air-conditioned shopping centres – this is the realm of the souk, where visitors haggle for brightly-coloured pottery, spices, textiles and jewellery in the labyrinthine streets and alleys of the city’s UNESCO-protected walled medina. Marrakech is also a great base for exploring the dramatic Atlas Mountains.
