Private jet to Rimini

Rimini has three sides for private flyers: the beach, about 15 km of sand running south to Riccione; the trade fairs at Rimini Fiera and the motorcycle circuit at Misano; and the Republic of San Marino on its mountain inland, which has no airport for jets. All three are served by Federico Fellini airport in Miramare, about 5 km south-east of the old town with its Arch of Augustus and Tiberius Bridge, and less than 5 km from Riccione.

The runway, almost 3,000 m long, is the longest in Emilia-Romagna, so the airport sets no limit on the size of the aircraft; the group, the luggage and the date decide. There is no separate terminal for private aviation: passengers are handled by AIRiminum, the airport operator, with customs and passport control on site for flights from outside Schengen. In summer, arrival and departure times are notified in advance, and we confirm them for the exact date, together with the car to the hotel, the fair or San Marino.

Send the route, the dates, the number of passengers and where you are going on the ground: a hotel on the seafront, the Fiera, Misano or San Marino.

What brings private flights to the Romagna coast

Flight times to Federico Fellini airport

Times for a Phenom 300 light jet, taken from the price tables, including taxi, climb and descent:

Berlin is 1:44 h away, Brussels 1:48 h, Amsterdam and Hamburg 1:57 h and Madrid 2:21 h. A Challenger 350 shortens the flight from London only to 2:06 h. From Rome and Split a turboprop needs about an hour. From Bologna and Milan there are direct trains to Rimini, so the jet makes most sense from abroad, from the south of Italy and from the islands.

Prices for private flights to Rimini

Each price is for the whole aircraft, one way, with an aircraft available near the departure airport. Handling, the Italian passenger tax and the car are added in the quote. The flight time refers to the first aircraft in the row.

From the European hubs

Milan Linate is the cheapest hub at EUR 9,500 in a Phenom 300; Munich, Zurich and Nice cost EUR 10,500. From London the light jet costs EUR 14,000, while the Challenger 350 costs EUR 20,000.

From Italy, the Adriatic and central Europe

Split is less than an hour away in a light jet, so a week on the Romagna coast can end on the Croatian islands, and Venice is a short hop to the north. From Budapest, Prague and Warsaw a light jet takes 1:23-2:01 h.

Long-haul flights

The long runway takes heavy and long-range jets with full tanks, so these routes are flown non-stop:

Aircraft for Rimini usually come from Milan, Bologna or Rome, less than an hour away, so positioning adds little. Demand rises from June to September, during the large fairs and on the MotoGP weekend, when booking early helps to find an aircraft nearby. The airport usually lets the aircraft stay for several days, so for a weekend keeping the same aircraft is often cheaper than two one-way flights. Italy charges a passenger tax on private flights: EUR 100 per passenger up to 1,500 km and EUR 200 beyond, on every flight in and out. The tax distance is the straight line plus 95 km, which keeps London and Madrid in the EUR 100 band; Larnaca and the long-haul routes pay EUR 200. Domestic flights add Italian VAT, normally 10 %. The departure country adds its own charge: France about EUR 420 per passenger on a jet, the UK Air Passenger Duty (none on aircraft under 5.7 t, the higher private-jet rate on jets of 20 t or more with fewer than 19 seats, the standard rate of the distance band on other jets), Germany a departure tax and Austria EUR 12 per passenger. The quote shows every item.

Business jet price per flight hour

Heavy Jets from EUR 8,300 / hour

Light Jets from EUR 3,200 / hour

Ultra Long Range Jets from EUR 12,000 / hour

Super Midsize Jets from EUR 6,300 / hour

Very Light Jets from EUR 2,500 / hour

Long Range Jets from EUR 9,800 / hour

Midsize Jets from EUR 4,500 / hour

Turboprops from EUR 2,000 / hour

Worked examples

Price per passenger

A private jet is chartered as a whole, so the cost per seat falls with every extra passenger. The Italian tax is added per head:

Federico Fellini airport and nearby alternatives

Aeroporto Internazionale di Rimini e San Marino Federico Fellini (RMI, LIPR) is a former military airfield in Miramare, on the Via Flaminia, about 5.6 km in a straight line from the old town and 4.3 km from Riccione. It is named after the film director, who was born in Rimini. The single runway, 12/30, is 2,996 x 45 m and takes every category of business jet. The airport is close to the A14 motorway and to the SS72 road to San Marino.

There is no separate terminal for private aviation. The airport operator, AIRiminum, provides the handling, which is mandatory, and we book it together with the flight; customs and passport control are available for flights from outside Schengen. Opening hours vary through the year, and in summer the airport works with facilitated hours under which arrival and departure times are notified in advance, so we confirm the times for each date, especially for a late departure after a concert or a race. Parking for several days is usually possible.

Other airports in the region

Distances are straight-line from Rimini. San Marino's own airfield at Torraccia takes only small training and touring aircraft:

Matching the aircraft to the trip

The runway sets no limit, so the choice comes down to people and bags. A group of nine fits a midsize jet; beyond that a heavy jet or two smaller aircraft. Compare cabins among the light jets and midsize jets, and tell us about pushchairs, golf bags or exhibition material with the request.

Prefer to talk it over? Leave your number and a consultant will call you about the aircraft, the airport hours and the car.

Season, fairs and races

Beach season, fairs and motor sport set the busy dates on this coast:

In July and August land on a weekday or early in the morning: on summer weekends the roads along the coast and into Riccione are slow, and an extra hour on the road cancels much of the time saved by flying privately.

Transfers to the beach, the Fiera and San Marino

San Marino is a separate state outside the EU, but it uses the euro and has no border control with Italy, so the driver goes straight from the terminal to the address on Monte Titano. The return down the mountain can be slow at peak times, so we plan the pickup with a margin.

Empty Legs on the Adriatic

An Empty Leg is a flight an aircraft makes without passengers, sold well below the normal price. On this coast they appear mostly in summer and around the big fairs:

Dates and times follow the original booking, so Empty Legs suit flexible plans. Send the direction and a range of dates to empty-legs@jets.flights and we will forward matching flights.

With a dog or cat to the seaside

On a private jet the dog or cat travels in the cabin beside you, and the papers are checked by the handling agent in a few minutes. The operator must accept the animal in advance; some require a carrier or charge for cabin cleaning. Italy applies the EU rules:

• Microchip, implanted before the rabies vaccination.
• Rabies vaccination at least 21 days before travel when it is the first one, given at 12 weeks of age or later.
• EU pet passport; pets from Great Britain need an animal health certificate from a government-authorised vet.
• Up to five dogs, cats or ferrets per person on a non-commercial trip.
• No tapeworm treatment is required for Italy.

Dogs flying on to the UK, Ireland, Malta, Finland or Norway need tapeworm treatment 1-5 days before arrival there, and the UK accepts pets only through approved routes and handlers. We ask the hotel about its pet policy and the nearest dog beach when booking the car.

Documents, borders and taxes

Pre-flight checklist

• Passport or ID card for every passenger, children included, also for the day in San Marino.
• Names, dates of birth and document numbers, sent no later than the day before.
• Arrival and departure times, so the handling agent can confirm them with the airport.
• Destination on the ground: seafront hotel, the Fiera, Misano or an address in San Marino.
• Number of suitcases, pushchairs, beach equipment or exhibition cases.
• Whether the aircraft stays at Rimini or flies home and comes back.
• Pet passport, lead and muzzle, and the hotel's pet policy.
• Company name and VAT number for the invoice.

How we arrange the flight

1. Send the departure airport, dates, passengers, luggage and where you are going: the coast, the Fiera, Misano or San Marino.
2. We confirm the airport hours and the handling for both dates, and decide with you whether the aircraft stays or returns.
3. You receive 2-4 options with operator, model, cabin photos and the price for the whole aircraft, with the Italian tax shown separately.
4. You sign the contract with the operator and pay; we book handling, customs if needed, the car and catering.
5. After landing the driver meets you at the terminal exit and takes you to the hotel, the fair or Monte Titano.

Questions about private flights to Rimini

• • How much does a private jet to Rimini cost?

  • A Phenom 300 costs from EUR 9,500 one way from Milan and EUR 14,000 from London, for the whole aircraft. A turboprop from Rome or Split starts at EUR 7,000. The Italian passenger tax and the car are added in the quote.

• • Can I fly directly to San Marino?

  • Not by jet. San Marino has only a small airfield for light aircraft, so private jets land at Rimini and the car continues in 30-40 minutes.

• • How far is the airport from the beach?

  • The airport is in Miramare, about 5 km south-east of the centre. Marina Centro is about 15 minutes by car and Riccione 10-15 minutes.

• • How long is the flight from London?

  • From Farnborough about 2:13 h in a Phenom 300 and 2:06 h in a Challenger 350, non-stop.

• • Can large jets land at Rimini?

  • Yes. The runway is almost 3,000 m long, so every business jet can land, including heavy and long-range aircraft.

• • Can the aircraft wait for us?

  • For a weekend, a race or a fair it can usually stay at the airport. For a longer holiday we compare parking with two one-way flights.

• • Is there a private terminal?

  • No. The airport operator handles private passengers, with customs and passport control when needed, and the car waits at the exit.

• • Do I need a passport for San Marino?

  • There is no border check, but San Marino is a separate state outside the EU, so carry a passport or valid ID card throughout the trip.

• • When is it hardest to get an aircraft and a hotel?

  • In July and August, especially at weekends, on the Notte Rosa weekend in June, on the MotoGP weekend in September and during the large fairs.

• • Can my dog come to the beach?

  • That depends on the municipality and the beach club; some have dog areas. The flight itself needs a microchip, a rabies vaccination and an EU pet passport.

• • Are there Empty Legs to Rimini?

  • Yes, mostly in summer and around the large fairs. Write to empty-legs@jets.flights with your direction and dates.
