Frequently Asked Questions
The BLAK team answers the most common questions and covers the essentials for those thinking about flying to and from Sicily.
Can volcanic activity from Mount Etna affect private jet flights to Sicily?
Yes. Mount Etna is Europe’s most active volcano and periodic ash emissions can affect flight operations at Catania–Fontanarossa Airport. When ash clouds drift across eastern Sicily, authorities may temporarily restrict arrivals or departures. In those cases private jet operators often reposition flights to Falcone Borsellino Airport on the west coast where conditions remain unaffected.

Which airport is best for visiting Taormina by private jet?
The closest airport to Taormina is Catania–Fontanarossa Airport, located about one hour away by car along Sicily’s eastern coastline. Because of this proximity, most private jet travellers heading to Taormina or Mount Etna choose to arrive through Catania.

Are helicopter transfers common in Sicily?
Helicopters are often used to reach more remote destinations such as luxury villas, offshore yachts or the Aeolian Islands north of Sicily. These transfers allow travellers to avoid longer road journeys across the island.

Can private jets fly directly to Sicily’s smaller islands like the Aeolian Islands or Favignana?
Most of Sicily’s surrounding islands do not have runways capable of supporting business jets. The Aeolian Islands, Favignana and Panarea are typically accessed after arriving at Catania–Fontanarossa Airport or Falcone Borsellino Airport, both of which offer full infrastructure for private jet operations. From there travellers continue by helicopter, private yacht or high-speed ferry, with helicopter transfers to islands such as Lipari, Panarea and Stromboli typically taking around 30 to 50 minutes depending on routing and weather conditions.
