Figari

Why charter a private jet to Figari?

From June to September, southern Corsica draws an international clientele in search of beaches, coves and discreet holidaying. In peak season, scheduled flights are saturated and connections long. The private jet frees you from all this and offers boarding in fifteen minutes, at the chosen time, as close as possible to the south of the island.

Our teams select from our fleet the aircraft suited to the distance and the number of passengers, and coordinate all ground logistics, from the apron to your place of stay.

Figari Sud Corse Airport (FSC)

Figari Sud Corse Airport (FSC / LFKF) serves the whole south of the island, around 22 km from Porto-Vecchio to the north-east and from Bonifacio to the south. Its 2,480 m runway accommodates light, midsize and long-range jets, and the field handles most of Corsica's business-aviation traffic, with a terminal dedicated to private aviation opened in 2021.

In peak season, it is a demanding field: slots are compulsory from June to September, parking is limited and turnarounds are quick. Anticipating slots and ground handling is decisive here. Both Porto-Vecchio and Bonifacio are then reached in around twenty minutes by road, or by a short helicopter transfer.

What to see and do in southern Corsica

The south of the island holds some of the finest beaches in the Mediterranean. At Porto-Vecchio, Palombaggia unrolls its pale sand fringed with umbrella pines facing the Cerbicales islands, while Santa Giulia draws a turquoise lagoon ideal for family swimming. Further south, the Rondinara opens like a perfect shell between Porto-Vecchio and Bonifacio, and Saint-Cyprien beach rounds out the coastline to the north.

Bonifacio, the island's oldest town, raises its medieval citadel atop white limestone cliffs. The lanes of the old town lead to the Escalier du Roi d'Aragon, carved into the cliff face, and the marina, sheltered at the end of a deep cove, lines up cafés and restaurants. From the harbour, boat trips reach the nature reserve of the Lavezzi islands, a granite archipelago of clear water between Corsica and Sardinia. Inland, the villages of the Alta Rocca offer another side of Corsica, between hiking, forests and mountain tables.

Where to stay: hotels and tables of the far south

Southern Corsica brings together several leading addresses. At Porto-Vecchio, Casadelmar, set on the bay within its own park, is home to a Michelin-starred restaurant. On the neighbouring peninsula, the Grand Hôtel de Cala Rossa, a member of Relais & Châteaux, borders a long sandy beach. In the maquis, facing Palombaggia and the Cerbicales, Version Maquis cultivates a discreet luxury surrounded by nature.

Towards Bonifacio, on the Gulf of Santa Manza, U Capu Biancu combines fragrant maquis, private coves and seasonal Corsican cuisine. Our concierge service books the hotel, the table and the transfers to build a bespoke stay, as a continuation of your flight.

The great occasions of southern Corsica

The summer season, from June to September, sets the rhythm of life in the south of the island: beaches, boat trips to the Lavezzi, the beach clubs of Palombaggia and Santa Giulia, and evenings on the marinas of Porto-Vecchio and Bonifacio. Summer is also the season of regattas and yacht calls in the Strait of Bonifacio. On the terroir side, the vineyards of the AOC Corse-Figari and Corse-Porto-Vecchio, planted with Niellucciu, Sciaccarellu and Vermentinu, open their cellars, and AOP Corsican charcuterie — coppa, lonzu, prisuttu — accompanies a generous island cuisine.

These periods are among the most in-demand: our teams anticipate the flight, slots and accommodation to secure access.
