SIR

Sion opened in 1935 and has long combined civil aviation with a Swiss military airfield in the Rhone Valley.

One runway, around 2,000 metres, handling light, midsize, and many heavy business jets within Alpine performance limits.

Sion is quiet for much of the year with sharp peaks in the ski season as a gateway to the Valais resorts.

No. Civil operation is in daytime alongside military use, and we plan timing around the published schedule and the valley approach.

Sion is the closest field to the Valais ski resorts, with private handling and a scenic valley approach, ideal for the winter season.

Sion favours light to heavy cabins within Alpine limits. A family for the ski week takes a Citation XLS; a group to Verbier uses a Challenger 350; a smaller run suits a Phenom 300. For the largest jets we position at Geneva. We match the cabin to the day.

Private jet hire from Sion is quoted per trip, by aircraft and flight time. A short European hop starts in the lower thousands of euros; larger sectors run higher. We settle in euros (EUR), and where you prefer, in Swiss francs (CHF) or US dollars.

Sion operates in daytime with a valley approach and busy ski season. For longer sectors we ask for around four hours to arrange slots, permits, and crew. A short daytime hop can be set up in under an hour, around fifty-five minutes, with documents and payment ready.

At Sion you typically arrive through private handling fifteen to thirty minutes before departure, step through a quiet lounge, and board directly, no queues and no public concourse. We confirm the exact timing with your final details.

A Challenger 350 carries full luggage and ski equipment for a party of eight; a light jet takes a handful of cases. We size the hold at quoting stage for Sion and position a larger cabin where needed.

Pets travel in the cabin. Switzerland applies EU-aligned rules and accepts the EU pet passport, microchip, and valid rabies vaccination; non-EU origins may need extra paperwork. Request the full document checklist for Sion via WhatsApp.

Chartering a private jet from Sion costs from €4,500 for a short light jet hop up to €137,500 for the longest routes on this page, always quoted as one fixed all-in figure. See the full cost guide at flywithandreea.com/private-jet-charter-cost, and message Andreea for a firm figure for your dates.

About EUR 4,500 to EUR 6,000 on a light jet, roughly 0h 51m in the air. The exact figure depends on the date and aircraft positioning; Andreea confirms one fixed all-in price in writing.

As a rule of thumb, EUR 5,600 to 9,400 on a light jet and EUR 9,400 to 12,600 on a midsize, before positioning and handling. A two hour flight from Sion covers roughly 1,300 km, city pairs like the routes listed above.

About 0h 51m wheels up to wheels down on a light jet, with boarding at the private terminal taking minutes rather than hours. Timings vary with winds and routing.

For one traveller on a trunk route, first class is usually cheaper. For a family or a team, once you divide the aircraft price by seats and count the hours saved through the private terminal, charter from Sion is often closer than people expect, and an empty leg can beat first class outright.

It is never expected and always appreciated. Crews are professionals paid accordingly; if the service was exceptional, a tip or a note to the operator lands equally well. There is no etiquette obligation either way.
