Aix-en-Provence sits between Marseille and the Luberon, and Les Milles is the airfield the town actually uses. Private jet charter at Aix-en-Provence Les Milles suits light and mid-size jets: the runway is 1,604 metres long and 30 metres wide, so a Citation or Phenom class aircraft is at home here.
Larger cabins will usually route through Marseille Provence instead. That is not a drawback so much as a choice, and Charter-A will tell you at the quote stage which field gives you the better day.
It is a small, purpose-used aerodrome with its own FBO, which is why business travellers heading for Aix tend to ask for it by name.
Flying privately to Aix-en-Provence
The ExecuJet FBO handles private flights here, with a passenger lounge, crew lounge, parking, fuelling and catering. Its hours are daily 08:00 to 19:00 local, including public holidays, so late arrivals need planning.
There is no customs or police post at the airfield. If you are arriving from outside the Schengen area, Marseille Provence is the field to use. Handling and prior notification are mandatory for aircraft of three tonnes or more. The pavement is rated for light and mid-size jets only, which is why we match the aircraft to the runway before we quote.

Why fly to Aix-en-Provence
Aix-en-Provence is a university town of fountains, plane-lined boulevards and Cézanne's studio country, with the Luberon and the Mediterranean coast within reach. Marseille is the regional hub. Business visitors come for the technology and research campuses around the town, and leisure travellers come for Provence itself. Les Milles puts a small jet close to all of it, and the Marseille Provence alternative stays available for larger aircraft.
