Flight time and airports
The flight covers roughly 1,100 km and takes about 2 hours in a light or midsize jet, or a little longer in a turboprop. In Malta every private flight uses Malta International Airport (MLA). In Milan, Linate (LIN) is the best choice for the city centre. Malpensa (MXP) is further out, but useful for Lake Maggiore and Lake Como's western shore.
What a whole charter costs
Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft: turboprop around €12,000 to €14,000, light jet around €14,000 to €16,000, midsize jet around €16,500 to €18,500, super midsize around €22,000 to €24,000. Milan Fashion Week in February and September, Salone del Mobile in April and the Monza Grand Prix in September push demand and prices up.
Your share when you split a charter
A light jet seats six. Split a €15,000 charter six ways and each traveller pays about €2,500. With four travellers it is about €3,750 each. That is still competitive with last-minute business fares when you add the time saved.
Best times to share this route
Monday morning departures and Thursday or Friday returns match business schedules best. Fashion Week, Salone del Mobile and the Monza Grand Prix are the easiest weeks to find other travellers on the same dates.
