The ideal aircraft for your trip
Our advisors will help you select the aircraft best suited to your mission.
- Short flights and intra‑Swiss connections: for trips to Geneva, Zurich or Nice, choose turboprops (Pilatus PC‑12, King Air) or very light jets (Citation Mustang, CJ1/CJ2), which offer excellent performance on short runways.
- Regional or medium‑haul flights: for destinations such as Paris, Munich or Frankfurt, opt for light jets (Citation CJ2+, Phenom 300). They provide a good balance between comfort and range while remaining compatible with Saanen’s runway.
- Long‑haul flights: due to runway constraints, large‑cabin jets (Falcon 2000, Gulfstream G600/700) must depart from Sion, Zurich or Geneva. We organise a quick transfer from Gstaad to board these aircraft so you can reach intercontinental destinations in total comfort
