The main motivations for more and more travelers to hire a private jet are the needs for comfort, luxury and privacy.
Tra i vantaggi che offre il Jet privato ci sono un livello di comodità superiore rispetto ai voli di linea, la possibilità di scegliere la tipologia di aeromobile, la configurazione degli interni e servizi opzionali, ma especially the ability to choose when to take off with complete freedom. However, when chartering a private jet you need to be aware that while you can choose your takeoff time, it may vary by air traffic priorities.
In questo articolo spiegheremo ai clienti di Private Jet Finder quali sono le priorità per la concessione degli slot di partenza da parte delle autorità preposte.
First of all, it should be specified that, as a rule, private jets rented through PrivateJetFinder always adhere to the time set for takeoff.
In alcuni casi, però, soprattutto nei periodi di alta stagione o in situazioni particolari, le partenze potrebbero slittare o addirittura essere anticipate, qualora il traffico aereo sia congestionato.
Takeoff priority to emergencies
Generally speaking, the air traffic authority manages the allocation of takeoff slots by giving priority, of course, to aircraft engaged in safety, rescue or emergency operations. Your private jet, in conjunction with an emergency situation, will have to wait for the takeoff operations of aircraft engaged in such operationss and will be able to depart only when air traffic makes it possible.
In addition to rescue and emergency flights, military and diplomatic aircraft, flights engaged in repatriation operations, and even commercial flights have priority over private flights if they are scheduled to take off on the same runway and at the same time.
Of course, these are coincidences that do not happen often, however, in such cases you will have to be patient for a few minutes.
For clarity and to remove any doubts, we have compiled the priority list regarding takeoffs, provided by the European ATC Air Control.
- MEDEVAC Emergency Medical Flights. (transportation of critically ill patients, organs for transplantation, or other urgent medical needs) also have absolute priority for takeoff. In these cases, the highest priority is.
- SAR Search and Rescue Emergency Flights.
I velivoli impegnati in missioni umanitarie in caso di calamità naturali, sono cruciali per salvare vite umane, per questo ovviamente, hanno altissima priorità per rispondere rapidamente a situazioni di crisi.
- Military Flights. Operations involving Homeland Security, Defense, and flights engaged in critical military security missions always enjoy high priority.
- Diplomatic Flights carrying Heads of State, Diplomats or Government Delegations enjoy a high priority.
Especially in conjunction with sensitive diplomatic situations and important international events.
- Repatriation Flights Flights organized on an emergency basis to repatriate citizens to their own country in crisis situations such as conflict or epidemics, are considered the same as humanitarian missions, or in some cases emergency or diplomatic flights.
- Commercial Scheduled Flights. They may enjoy priority over other less urgent flights so as to avoid passenger inconvenience and delays
- Private, Business and General Aviation flights, have the lowest priority.
I Jet privati devono attendere che i traffici aerei precedentemente elencati siano stati evasi, per poter effettuare le operazioni di decollo.
Finally, it should be pointed out that on average over the entire time span of a year, criticality occurs mainly in the busiest months, these being July and August. The busiest airports during the summer in Europe are those of. Mykonos, Ibiza and Nice, where unfortunately disruptions often occur precisely because of air traffic co-management.

In truth, there are also airports that are equally busy but enjoy very efficient infrastructures that manage even in the face of an exponential increase in traffic in the summer to ensure punctuality almost always. One example out of all is the airport of Olbia which serves the Costa Smeralda in Sardinia, where very efficient staff and adequate airport infrastructure keep private jet passengers happy all year round.
