Private Jet Megève to Antalya

Megeve to Antalya covers approximately 1,208 nautical miles, joining the elegant alpine resort of the Haute-Savoie with the sunlit Mediterranean coast of southern Turkey. The short, sloping runway of Megeve Altiport, set high among the mountains, favours specialised operations, and a turboprop such as the Pilatus PC-12 or a helicopter transfer to a nearby valley field is the surest way to begin the journey, from which a light jet such as the Phenom 300 or Citation CJ4 completes the flight to the coast. Once in the cruise the light jet climbs towards 45,000 feet, rising above much of the weather for a smooth passage south across the Alps and the Mediterranean. Departures are handled from Megeve Altiport, among the most storied of alpine airfields, where private handling makes for a discreet start to the journey. Antalya, the gateway to Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, offers a warm contrast to the pistes of Megeve. The city gathers around a Roman-era harbour, and its old quarter of Kaleici preserves Hadrian’s Gate, timber Ottoman houses and steep lanes descending to the sea, all framed by the Taurus Mountains beyond. Nearby lie the ruins of Perge and the great theatre of Aspendos, while the Antalya Museum holds one of the country’s finest collections of Roman sculpture. The beaches of Konyaalti and Lara flank the city, and the resort towns of Kalkan and Kas lie further along the shore. This route suits alpine travellers exchanging the mountains for the coast, couples and families bound for a summer by the sea, and small parties who value the speed and privacy of a direct flight. For those wishing to trade the Haute-Savoie for the harbours of the Turquoise Coast, the charter is the natural choice.
