The Most Popular Private Jet Routes In Europe

Private jets can depart and arrive from ten times as many airports in Europe than scheduled airlines.  A significant benefit of using private aviation is being able to use smaller, local airports which reduces ground transfers, and any direct routing is possible.  

However, there are key private jet airports and routes in Europe that consistently rank as the most popular - for both business and private jet travellers.
