Private jet charter to and from Catania serves as the primary private aviation gateway for eastern Sicily and one of southern Italy's busiest airports. Catania-Fontanarossa "Vincenzo Bellini" Airport (CTA) sits four kilometres south-west of Catania city, with a single 2,560-metre runway accommodating light through heavy jets at standard operating weights. The airport operates 24 hours a day with slot coordination required.

Catania's traffic is shaped almost entirely by the eastern Sicilian leisure circuit. Taormina sits 51 kilometres north of the airport — the village's hotel cluster (Belmond Grand Hotel Timeo, Four Seasons San Domenico Palace, Belmond Villa Sant'Andrea), the June Taormina Film Festival, and the broader cultural pull of the Greek Theatre drive consistent demand from June through September. The wider region adds the baroque cities of Syracuse, Noto, Ragusa and Modica to the south, and Mount Etna and the wine-producing volcanic slopes immediately to the north. Honest planning matters here — Etna is one of Europe's most active volcanoes, and ash plumes occasionally close the airport for periods of up to a day. Backup routing into Comiso (CIY, 100km west) or Palermo (PMO, 200km west) is sometimes used during eruption events.

Privavia arranges private jet charter from Catania to London, Paris, Geneva, Zurich, Munich, Milan, Rome, Athens, Malta, Dubai and across Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Aircraft commonly used for private jet charter Catania include the Citation CJ3 and Phenom 300 for short Mediterranean sectors, the Challenger 350 and Citation Longitude for longer-range routes, and heavy jets such as the Falcon 7X, Global 6000 and Gulfstream G650 for transatlantic operations.

Catania-Fontanarossa (CTA) operates 24 hours a day with slot coordination required, particularly during the peak July–September season. Executive handling is available through Signature Aviation, with VIP processing, customs and immigration on site, and direct ramp access. Aircraft parking pressure tightens significantly during peak summer weekends.

Helicopter charter Catania is available for transfers across Sicily and onward to the Aeolian Islands, including direct routing to Taormina, the Etna slopes, Syracuse, Noto, Ragusa, and the Aeolian archipelago — Stromboli, Lipari, Salina, Panarea and Vulcano — plus yacht positioning along the Ionian and Tyrrhenian coastlines.
