The cost of a private flight
The air broker can tell the final cost of a private flight from Italy to European countries or other foreign countries only after determining the key parameters of the flight. The price of the flight depends on:
- The planned number of passengers;
- Business jet class. The cost is affected by the capacity of the aircraft, its cruising speed, the level of equipment on board, the flight range without refueling, fuel consumption, the year of production of the liner, and other factors;
- Flight season – it is more profitable to rent a business jet in advance before the start of the holiday season since the increasing demand for the service increases its cost, and the number of available aircraft significantly decreases;
- Flight route and distance;
- Duration of parking on the territory of the destination airport. Business jets are often immediately rented in both directions for business flights. In this case, the cost of the service includes parking and maintenance of the aircraft at the point of arrival;
- Service level. The cost of the flight can be increased if it is necessary to organize escort, security or to fulfill individual orders of the client, such as buying tickets for events, renting housing, etc.
After clarifying all the nuances of the flight, you will sign a contract. It will prescribe the final cost of the business jet flight. It will change only if the customer has changed the departure date, increased the number of passengers, or made other significant adjustments.

Based on the earlier BN-2 Islander, the Britten-Norman Trislander is a three-engined, piston-powered civilian utility aircraft. The main differences from its predecessor are a stretched fuselage, strengthened fixed tricycle landing gear and third engine.
About this aircraft
- The original Britten-Norman Trislander BN-2A MK III-1 first flew in 1970 and entered service in 1971.
- Its cabin is designed to seat up to 16 passengers, but most are fitted with a maximum of 14 seats. This is less if the rear of the cabin is utilised for luggage.
- Purpose-built for short-haul flights, it’s capable of non-stop journeys like London to Brussels or mainland UK to the northernmost Channel Island, Alderney.
- The external and internal baggage space can fit around eight suitcases.
- Production of the aircraft ceased in 1982.
The Britten-Norman Trislander carved a niche for itself by operating high-frequency, short-sector scheduled and charter flights across the globe for over 50 years. Despite winning the Queen’s Award to Industry for technological innovation, it wasn’t as successful as the original BN-2 Islander and very few are available to charter today.
Interior design
The Trislander is the same width as the smaller BN-2 Islander and retained its pioneering wall-to-wall seating arrangement. As there’s no aisle, passenger access is via doors on either side of the fuselage, with three on the starboard side of the cabin and two on the port side. The cabin is rather basic due to the aircraft’s age, but it does feature air-conditioning and a reading light for each passenger.
Manufacturer
British aircraft manufacturer Britten-Norman was founded in the mid-1950s by friends John Britten and Nigel Desmond Norman. The engineering graduates started out developing agricultural equipment and modifying light aircraft, before moving into aircraft production with a single-seater called the BN-1 Finibee.
Only one Finibee was ever produced, but it laid the groundwork for the BN-2 Islander, which targeted the commercial sector and focused on payload rather than speed or range. First flying in 1965, the Islander was so popular that it’s still available today.
Following unsuccessful attempts to market new aircraft, Britten-Norman focused on improving the Islander. The BN-2 Trislander launched in 1970 with greater range and capacity, winning the Queen's Award to Industry for technological innovation in 1975.
Today, over 1,300 Britten-Norman aircraft have been built and the company is the UK’s only independent commercial aircraft producer.
