Private Jet Corsica to Antalya

Corsica to Antalya spans approximately 1,051 nautical miles, joining the mountainous French island in the western Mediterranean with the sunlit coast of southern Turkey. A sector of this length is well matched to a mid-size or light jet, with the Challenger 350 and the Gulfstream G280 offering comfortable range and cabin space, while a Phenom 300 serves smaller parties efficiently on a flight of around two hours. Cruising at altitudes approaching 43,000 to 45,000 feet, these aircraft rise above the weather of the Mediterranean for a smooth passage eastward. Departures are handled from Calvi-Sainte-Catherine Airport on Corsica’s north-western coast, whose seaside setting makes for a memorable start to the journey. Antalya, the gateway to Turkey’s Turquoise Coast, makes a fine counterpart to the beaches and citadels of Corsica. 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, remnants of the ancient Pamphylian coast, 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 travellers moving between two of the Mediterranean’s most scenic islands and coasts, families bound for a summer by the sea, and groups who value the speed and privacy of a direct flight. For those wishing to trade the citadel of Calvi for the harbours of the Turquoise Coast, the charter is the natural choice.
