Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring my pet on a private jet to Olbia, and what are the requirements?

Yes. Pets can usually travel in the cabin when flying private, provided the operator is informed in advance. You’ll need to meet EU and Italian regulations, including microchipping, vaccinations, and either an EU Pet Passport or a valid health certificate.

When is the peak season in Olbia, and is it better to travel off-peak?

The busiest period in Olbia is summer, from June through August, when private jet traffic and tourism are at their highest. Accommodation and services are in greatest demand during this time. Many travellers prefer the shoulder months—May, early June, and September—when the weather is still warm, but airports, beaches, and marinas are less crowded.

What are the entry requirements and customs procedures when flying private into Olbia?

All travellers must follow Italy’s standard entry rules. You’ll need a valid passport and, if required, a visa. When arriving from outside the Schengen Area, you’ll clear customs and immigration at the private terminal in Olbia. The process is usually quick and discreet, but all international passengers go through standard checks.
