Private Jet Nantucket to Lake Como

The 3,320 nautical miles separating Nantucket from Lake Como fall well within the capabilities of a Gulfstream G550 or Bombardier Global 6000, both super mid-to-heavy category aircraft that make short work of North Atlantic crossings of this length, typically completing the sector in around six and a half hours. Cruising near 45,000 feet, these aircraft sit comfortably above the congested airways used by scheduled traffic on similar routings, contributing to a settled, quiet ride throughout. Passengers depart from Nantucket Memorial Airport, the island’s principal airfield and a hub of summer activity when New England’s seasonal residents descend on the island each June. Arrival is into Milan Malpensa Airport, from where the drive north into Lombardy’s lake district takes under an hour. Lake Como’s eastern shore, around Lecco, offers dramatic mountain scenery where the peaks drop almost directly into the water, a striking contrast to Nantucket’s low, sandy topography and weathered shingle architecture. Further round the lake, Bellagio sits at the meeting point of the water’s three arms, its steep lanes and lakeside promenade drawing visitors much as Nantucket’s cobbled streets draw its own seasonal crowd. Both destinations share a certain exclusivity born of limited access, though Lake Como trades Nantucket’s maritime, understated character for something rather grander in scale and architecture. This route suits Nantucket’s seasonal residents looking to extend their summer travels into a European lakeside stay, offering a direct link that avoids the connections a commercial itinerary through Boston or New York would otherwise require, and delivering guests to Italy on a schedule entirely their own.
