ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Heavy
The Gulfstream G600 clears both runways and has range headroom on the 4,962 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €93,600
FASTEST
Ultra Long Range
On 4,962 nm the Bombardier Global 5500 carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 28 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €87,000

On Olbia → Telluride, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Olbia before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Telluride, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on OLB–TEX are set field by field — OLB and TEX each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
On a 4,962 nm sector, jet-fuel price movements meaningfully change the quote — operators quote against a live fuel-uplift band.
Olbia → Telluride demand cycles pull the 4,962 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at TEX constrains the lift available for 4,962 nm inbounds from Olbia — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices OLB–TEX beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 4,962 nm.
Slot coordination at TEX — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Olbia departures and raises handling on OLB–TEX.
Ultra-long sectors trigger augmented crew requirements — an extra pilot's cost is reflected in the hourly rate.
Overnight parking at TEX is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the OLB–TEX quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Olbia → Telluride
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Olbia-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near TEX can trim handling and slot pressure on OLB–TEX — see the airport comparison above.
OLB ↔ TEX (4,962 nm) is a corridor we monitor for empty legs — set an alert and match one when your dates flex.
Departing 2–4 hours off the peak slot window at OLB drops handling and slot fees on the 4,962 nm run to TEX.
A same-aircraft return on OLB–TEX avoids the repositioning charge back to base — say so in the quote request.

Olbia → Telluride operational profile
Nonstop feasibility
Requires long-range or ULR metal (Global 6000/7500, Falcon 8X/10X, G650, G700). Nonstop is the expected profile.
Typical flight level
FL410–FL450 over the 4,962 nm OLB–TEX sector
Typical routing
Overland European upper routes — direct via UN airways with minimal detour.
Mountain airport
Terrain-critical approach at Telluride — expect a curved / visual segment. Weather minima are stricter than at flatland fields.
Noise / curfew
Night curfew at Olbia (23:00–06:00).
Runway
7,111 ft (shorter of OLB and TEX) accommodates super-midsize and heavy jets on typical payloads.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 4,962 nm; OLB–TEX is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.
Cabin service
Multi-course dining, sleep configuration and hot cabin service — full FA experience.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from OLB clears the weekday slot peak and lands TEX before midday handling pressure.

€74,400 – €95,900
Ultra Long Range through Heavy over 4,962 nm OLB–TEX, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of OLB sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. OLB–TEX quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
OLB–TEX supply — thin
OLB — 129 archived movements (67 out / 62 in) from 22 operators. TEX — 11 archived movements (4 out / 7 in) from 6 operators. Most OLB–TEX lift positions in, so expect a ferry element in the price and give us 48h+ where you can.
Positioning into Olbia (OLB)
When the based fleet is committed, the next OLB–TEX lift comes from LIRA (149 nm, 2 aircraft), LIAF (188 nm, 1 aircraft), LFTZ (194 nm, 1 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Positioning into Telluride (TEX)
With little metal based on the field, aircraft typically ferry in from KFMN (74 nm, 1 aircraft), KGJT (76 nm, 1 aircraft), KASE (90 nm, 1 aircraft). A 30–60 minute positioning sector is normal and is already inside the quotes above — beware anyone showing a price that ignores it.
Olbia (OLB) — departing for TEX
OLB departing for TEX: Slot-coordinated Jun–Sep — Porto Cervo peak. Curfew: 23:00–06:00.
Phenom 100 / Citation M2 and comparable light jets
At 4,962 nm this sector is beyond a comfortable light-jet leg with full seats and bags — you buy a fuel stop, and a stop costs more than the class saves. It is also the class where golf bags and ski gear stop fitting.
Empty Legs
Repositioning legs departing OLB within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.

LEAD TIME
48–72 hours is comfortable — 12 hours is achievable when aircraft are in position.
BEST BOOKING WINDOW
Tuesday–Thursday midweek is typically the lowest-friction window on this pair.
FLEXIBLE DATES
A ±1-day window opens up meaningfully more empty-leg and repositioning options — worth signalling in the enquiry.

Indicative one-way pricing on this pair is €74,000–€100,000 one-way, all-in, depending on aircraft class and season. Empty legs run 25–75% below these ranges.
Bombardier Global 5500 (Ultra Long Range) is our standing pick — On 4,962 nm the Bombardier Global 5500 carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 28 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Yes on midsize and larger aircraft with external baggage (Gulfstream G600 and up). Board bags and ski cases fit the hold on Bombardier Global 5500.
Alpine access is the constraint — see the airport comparison below.
Snow, low ceilings and crosswinds can force diversion to a valley alternate. Aircraft type-rating and current alternate briefings materially reduce the risk.
Christmas / New Year and February half-term are the hardest weeks — book 4–8 weeks ahead for those.
Yes — Telluride Film Festival in early Sep materially compresses aircraft availability; book 4–8 weeks ahead for that window.
