Biggin Hill to Turin by private jet takes about 1 h 32 over 884 km, into Turin Caselle (LIMF) — the airport with the 3,300 m runway and its own general aviation terminal. The other Turin field, Aeritalia, is an aero club strip of 1,074 m and takes no business jets.
REQUEST A QUOTEAn hour and a half from the south-east edge of London to the foot of the Italian Alps. Turin is an easy airport to fly into and an easy one to get wrong on paper, because the field most people find first when they search for general aviation there is the one a jet cannot use.
Turin has two airports, and the difference between them is the single most useful thing on this page.
Turin Caselle (TRN / LIMF) is the international airport, 16 km from the city, with a runway of 3,300 m and a general aviation terminal of its own. This is where your jet goes.
Turin Aeritalia (LIMA) is a private airfield operated by the Aero Club Torino. Its longest runway is 1,074 m of asphalt, and the other two are grass, 750 m and 500 m. It is used for tourist flights, gliding and flight training. It is not a business jet field, and asking for it by name will not get you closer to town.
We spell this out because on several other European cities the advice runs the other way. At Munich, Oberpfaffenhofen is a genuine business field worth naming. At Frankfurt, Egelsbach is real but its 1,400 m rules out the bigger aircraft. Turin is the case where the general aviation field is simply too short, and the main airport is the right answer for everyone.
Caselle is a gateway to the mountains as much as to the city: it runs scheduled shuttle services to resort towns including Ayas, Gressoney, Champorcher and Briancon, along with other Alpine destinations across the French side.
What that means for a charter: the airport is used to winter traffic and to passengers whose journey continues by road. If the ground leg matters to your day — and in the mountains it usually decides the day — tell us the final destination rather than just the airport, and we will plan the handover with the car rather than leaving you to find one.
At 884 km nothing about this sector is demanding, and the runway at the far end imposes no limit. The choice is about cabin and luggage, not performance.
Light jet, well matched to a party of four or five with ordinary bags.
Light jet with a larger hold — the usual answer when skis and boot bags are in the picture.
Midsize cabin with stand-up height, for a larger group or a longer day at both ends.
Cabin dimensions and range for each type are on the aircraft pages.
We do not publish a price for this route. A charter price is set by the aircraft, where it starts its day, whether it waits for you or returns empty, and the fees at both airports — and in the ski season the first of those moves a great deal, because a Saturday in January is not a Tuesday in May.
Send the dates and the number of passengers and you will have real options with real numbers, normally within 30 minutes. The operations desk is on duty 24/7.
Tell us your dates, how many of you there are, and where you are going after Turin. Your flight advisor will come back with aircraft options and a firm price.
