Private Jet Charter from Marseille
Marseille is the operational anchor of French Provence aviation — both a working port city with CMA CGM and TotalEnergies refinery traffic, and the de facto staging point for inland Luberon and Aix estates that are too far from Nice for a same-morning car. Marseille Provence (MRS) handles the bulk of jet traffic from a dedicated business terminal; Aix-Les Milles (LFMA) sits 25 minutes inland and is preferred by Aix-en-Provence-based owners who'd rather skip the airport security perimeter entirely for short Mediterranean hops.

FAQs — Chartering from Marseille
Is Aix-Les Milles really usable for charter?
Yes — LFMA accepts most light jets and all turboprops, and saves 30+ minutes door-to-engine compared with MRS for Aix-area trips. No night ops.
How busy is MRS in July–August?
Very. Friday-evening and Sunday-afternoon slots are constrained; book 7–10 days ahead in peak weeks or shift to a Saturday departure.
Can I clear into a non-Schengen country direct from Aix-Les Milles?
Not directly — LFMA has no customs. Non-Schengen flights must clear at MRS or Nice.
