Flying private from OLB.
Olbia Costa Smeralda (LIEO) is one of the main private aviation airports serving Sardinia.
Olbia is the gateway to the Costa Smeralda and Italy's second busiest business aviation airport after Milan Linate, with about 80% of its private traffic between June and September.
Slots are coordinated in summer and customs for private flights work in daylight hours only, so peak season trips should be booked early and timed to arrive by day.
Other options in Sardinia include Cagliari Elmas (CAG). Flights are operated by ENAC-licensed operators.
