Private Jet Davos to Tunis

Davos to Tunis covers approximately 608 nautical miles, a flight of just over an hour that suits a light jet such as a Citation CJ4 or Phenom 300 well, aircraft equally comfortable operating from the shorter mountain runways of eastern Switzerland as from a larger commercial field. Passengers can depart from Engadin Airport near Samedan, one of the highest-altitude airports in Europe and a natural fit for travellers already in the Davos area, or transfer to Zurich Kloten for a larger aircraft if the group or luggage requires it; a helicopter link from the Davos Mountain Helipad is also commonly used to bridge the short distance to either field. Once airborne, the jet climbs to a cruise typically in the low-to-mid thirties of thousand feet before descending across the western Mediterranean into Tunis-Carthage International Airport, delivering passengers to a capital whose old medina, dense with covered souks and centuries-old mosques, offers a striking contrast to the alpine architecture of Graubünden. A short drive from the airport leads to the ruins of ancient Carthage and to the National Bardo Museum, home to an outstanding collection of Roman mosaics, while the whitewashed village of Sidi Bou Said, overlooking the Gulf of Tunis, rounds out a pleasant day of exploring. This route is popular during the World Economic Forum season and beyond among travellers looking to extend a Davos stay southward, trading the Swiss Alps for Mediterranean warmth on a short, private and highly efficient sector. For many regular guests of the Davos winter season, this pairing has become an established way to close out an alpine stay with a few days by the Mediterranean.
