At approximately 4,000 km, this sector is comfortably served by a large-cabin jet. Our advisors manage all details 24/7.

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.
