Private Jet St John to Cavallo

St John to Cavallo runs to approximately 3,980 nautical miles, a transatlantic sector for which a heavy business jet such as the Gulfstream G550 or Bombardier Global 6000 is well suited, offering the range to fly non-stop while cruising near 45,000 feet above much of the weather encountered over the Atlantic and into southern Europe. VC Bird International Airport, serving Antigua, is the point of departure, with the routing tracking broadly north-east across the ocean before making landfall over the western Mediterranean. Cavallo, the destination, belongs to the Lavezzi archipelago, a cluster of granite islets between Corsica and Sardinia divided by the Bonifacio Strait, and has no airstrip of its own, so arrival is completed by helicopter from Figari-Sud Corse to the island’s private helistrip. Antigua’s three hundred and sixty-five beaches give the island a certain claim to Caribbean variety that Cavallo, by design, does not attempt to match, offering instead a small handful of coves and a level of privacy that comes precisely from staying deliberately small. For those departing Antigua, the roughly six-and-a-half-hour flight is a manageable transatlantic journey, and the heavy jet’s cabin comfort, with dedicated rest and work zones, makes the crossing a productive stretch of time rather than simply hours to be endured before reaching one of the Mediterranean’s most discreet island addresses. Many Antiguan travellers extend their stay on Cavallo to explore the wider archipelago by boat, treating the island as a base for day trips to the Maddalena group rather than a single fixed stop.
