The route

Abu Dhabi → Palermo.

A private jet from Abu Dhabi to Palermo connects the UAE capital with Sicily's magnificent baroque capital: a city of extraordinary Arab-Norman architecture where the 12th-century Palatine Chapel mosaics astonish, the Ballaro and Vucciria street markets pulse with ancient vitality, the Quattro Canti crossroads is one of the most theatrical urban spaces in Europe, and the surrounding island offers the Valley of the Temples at Agrigento, the Greek ruins of Selinunte and Segesta, Mount Etna's volcanic drama, and the medieval clifftop town of Cefalù. At approximately 4,000 km, this sector is comfortably served by a large-cabin jet. Our advisors manage all details 24/7.

How Much Does It Cost to Charter a Private Jet from Abu Dhabi to Palermo?+
Chartering a private jet from Abu Dhabi to Palermo (PMO) typically costs between approximately $48,000 and $82,000 one-way. A large-cabin jet such as the Gulfstream G450 covers the sector with one technical stop, starting from around $50,000. A super-midsize jet with one stop offers a more cost-effective option, ranging from $48,000 to $65,000.

Which Airports Are Used for Private Jet Flights Between Abu Dhabi and Palermo?+
From Abu Dhabi, Al Bateen Executive Airport (AZI / OMAD) is the preferred departure hub; Zayed International Airport (AUH / OMAA) accommodates larger aircraft. In Palermo, the gateway is Falcone-Borsellino Airport (PMO / LICJ), named after the two anti-Mafia magistrates Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino who were murdered in 1992, located approximately 31 km west of Palermo city centre near Punta Raisi on the coast. Operated by Gesap, it is Sicily's largest airport and handles both commercial and private aviation. For guests heading to Taormina and eastern Sicily, Catania-Fontanarossa Airport (CTA / LICC, approximately 250 km east) is the more practical arrival point.
