Abu Dhabi → Genova

Chartering a private jet from Abu Dhabi to Genova (GOA) typically costs between approximately $52,000 and $88,000 one-way. A large-cabin jet such as the Gulfstream G450 covers the sector with one technical stop, starting from around $58,000. A super-midsize jet with a brief stop starts from approximately $52,000. Key pricing variables include Italian airspace fees, aircraft positioning, and seasonal Ligurian Riviera demand, particularly during the summer months when Portofino and the Cinque Terre are at their most celebrated.

From Abu Dhabi, Al Bateen Executive Airport (AZI / OMAD) is the preferred departure hub; Zayed International Airport (AUH / OMAA) accommodates larger aircraft. In Genova, the gateway is Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA / LIMJ), named after Genova's most famous son , the explorer Christopher Columbus. Located 7 km west of Genoa city centre in Sestri Ponente, the airport is uniquely built on an artificial peninsula jutting into the Ligurian Sea , one of Italy's most distinctive aviation facilities. It is the only airport in Liguria, and private aviation is handled through multi-purpose hangars and the general-aviation apron on the north side of the airport.

The Abu Dhabi, Genova sector (4,710 km) is best served by large-cabin jets:

1. Gulfstream G450 (Large-Cabin Jet) , Range 7,800 km; one technical stop; stand-up cabin for up to 14 passengers.
2. Dassault Falcon 2000LXS , Range 7,400 km; fuel-efficient; proven on Gulf, Italian Riviera routes.
3. Challenger 350 + Technical Stop (Super-Midsize Jet) , Range 5,900 km; most cost-effective with a brief fuel stop; flat-floor cabin.

With one technical stop, the Abu Dhabi (AZI / AUH) to Genova (GOA) total block time is approximately 7 to 8 hours.

Genoa Cristoforo Colombo Airport (GOA / LIMJ) does not impose a hard public night-flight ban but late-night private jet movements require advance coordination with the handling agent and airport authority. For out-of-hours arrivals, Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE / LFMN, 160 km west) operates 24 hours and serves as a reliable alternative with a 2-hour ground transfer to Genova or direct helicopter access to Portofino. Our operations team manages all coordination as standard.

We coordinate premium chauffeured transfers from the airport. Genova city centre and the historic port (Porto Antico) are 15 minutes; Portofino's exclusive harbour 45 minutes; Santa Margherita Ligure 40 minutes; and the Cinque Terre villages 90 minutes. For guests boarding a superyacht in Portofino or heading to a private villa on the Ligurian coast, we coordinate full arrival logistics. Helicopter transfers from Genova to Portofino's helipad can be arranged for the most exclusive arrival.
