Ajaccio, the birthplace of Napoleon and the capital of Corsica, sits on a wide bay framed by mountains that drop almost directly into the Mediterranean. Its blend of French and Corsican culture, together with dramatic coastal scenery, makes it a favourite summer destination.
Private aviation gives travellers fast, flexible access to Corsica without the connections often required by commercial routes, particularly valuable during the busy summer season.
Zadra Aviation Charter arranges private jet charters to Ajaccio for Mediterranean summer stays and yacht-based itineraries.
Ajaccio Napoléon Bonaparte Airport handles private jets alongside commercial traffic, with dedicated general aviation facilities close to the town. Flight times from mainland Europe typically run under two hours.
Flying private into Ajaccio removes the need to connect through mainland France during Corsica's peak summer season, when commercial capacity is stretched and coastal roads become congested. It suits travellers combining a stay in Ajaccio with a yacht charter along the island's western coast, as well as those visiting family estates or vineyards in the surrounding countryside. The flexibility of a private charter also makes it easy to adjust travel dates around Mediterranean weather.
