Chambéry is a serious ski airport, and in winter it behaves like one. Private jet charter at Chambéry Savoie Mont Blanc uses a 2,020-metre runway, with winter slot authorisation applying from roughly mid-December to mid-April.
Outside the season, the field is simpler, and the airport operator, SEACA, deals with business aviation requests online.
Charter-A arranges the authorisation number, the handling notice and the ground transfers, so your ski trip or summer lake holiday begins smoothly. Outside the ski season the airport is easier, and in summer the lakes and mountain villages draw a different group of passengers. Charter-A plans either season.
