Hire a Private Jet to Venice

A private jet charter to Venice offers discreet, direct access to one of Italy’s most iconic cultural destinations. The city draws leisure travellers for the Biennale, the glamour of the Venice Film Festival, and the pageantry of Carnival in February. With Venice reached mainly by boat, private flyers value the ability to land on their own schedule and continue by water taxi across the lagoon

LunaJets arranges private flights to Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE), whose general aviation terminal provides dedicated lounges and concierge services. From the terminal’s dock, private water taxis deliver guests straight to waterfront residences on the Grand Canal or Giudecca, making the transfer part of the Venetian experience. For longer itineraries, chauffeured cars serve the mainland, while helicopters can extend access to regional retreats such as Cortina d’Ampezzo, about 35 minutes by air compared with several hours by road.

With two decades of experience, LunaJets was the first European private jet broker to receive Argus® certification, reflecting rigorous safety and service standards. In Venice, this expertise ensures reliable arrivals during the Biennale, Film Festival, or Carnival, coordination of permits and FBO services, and discreet transfers that take clients directly from jet to palazzo.

Frequently Asked Questions

What customs and immigration procedures apply for private jet arrivals in Venice?

Private jet travellers follow standard entry rules: EU and Schengen citizens may enter with a passport or ID card, while other nationals may need a Schengen visa arranged in advance. At Venice Marco Polo, checks take place at the General Aviation Terminal. With documents pre-filed by your LunaJets team and handling agent, you step from the jet to passport control and customs in a fast, discreet process.

Can I bring my pet on a private jet to Venice?

Yes. Pets are welcome on private jets. If you’re flying in from outside the EU, your LunaJets team and the FBO can assist with the necessary health certificates and customs checks to ensure your pet’s smooth entry. In Venice itself, pets are part of daily life: dogs ride free on public vaporetti when leashed and muzzled, and most private water taxis accept them on board.

How long in advance should I book a private jet to Venice?

You can arrange flights to Venice on short notice at any time of year, but during peak periods it pays to plan ahead. The Venice Film Festival (late August–September), the Biennale (spring of odd-numbered years), and the summer season (June–August) see higher demand, so confirming your trip several weeks in advance gives you the best choice of aircraft and slots.

How do I get from the airport to Venice city, since no cars are allowed on the islands?

Boats depart from docks just outside the General Aviation Terminal and reach St. Mark’s area or other city docks in about 20–30 minutes. The most common choice is a private water taxi, which your LunaJets team can arrange to meet you on arrival. Some travellers choose a car transfer to Piazzale Roma or Tronchetto on the mainland side, then continue by boat, but most prefer the convenience and privacy of going directly by water.

Are there night curfews or noise restrictions at Venice Marco Polo Airport for private jets?-

Yes. Venice Marco Polo Airport is closed between midnight and 4:00 AM, so flights during these hours are only possible with special approval. The General Aviation Terminal operates from 06:00 to 22:00. When your schedule requires an arrival or departure outside these times, your LunaJets team can request the necessary clearances and handling on your behalf.
