Dole is a quiet airport in the Jura foothills, serving eastern Burgundy and the Franche-Comté. Private jet charter at Dole Jura uses a 2,230-metre runway that suits business jets, with handling from the operator, Edeis Aéroport Dole Jura.
It is a practical field rather than a showpiece.
The runway has a few local operating restrictions, and Charter-A checks them against your aircraft and the weather when we plan the flight. Edeis handles visiting aircraft and the tower keeps set hours. Charter-A reads the local restrictions, plans the notice periods and confirms that the field suits your aircraft and the weather.
