Private Jet
to Ibiza

Private jet hire to Ibiza from anywhere in the UK. Ibiza is one of the busiest private jet airports in Europe between June and September, and almost everything that decides whether a trip runs smoothly happens before you leave.

Private jet charter to Ibiza is dominated by slots and parking rather than flying. Ibiza (IBZ / LEIB) is slot coordinated through the summer season, and in July and August the ramp fills completely. Arrival and departure both need planning, and at peak weekends the aircraft frequently repositions to Palma or the mainland between your legs rather than holding on the island.

None of that makes a trip difficult. It just needs to be planned and priced honestly at the start, which is easier when you are talking to a pilot who deals with these airports.

Arrival airports

Ibiza (IBZ / LEIB) — The island's only airport. In the south, a short drive from Ibiza Town, Playa d'en Bossa and Sant Josep; Santa Eulària and the north take longer.

Areas served

  • Ibiza Town and Marina Botafoch
  • Playa d'en Bossa
  • Sant Josep and the south-west coast
  • Santa Eulària and the east
  • Sant Antoni
  • Formentera, by boat from Ibiza Town

Transfers

Most villas and hotels are within about half an hour of the airport, but summer traffic on the island's main roads is real. Formentera has no airport and is reached by ferry or private boat from Ibiza Town.

When to go

The season runs from late May to early October, with demand peaking from late June to the end of August and around the opening and closing parties. May, June and late September are markedly easier to schedule than July and August, and cheaper for the same aircraft. Winter traffic is light.

Positioning and empty legs

Parking is the constraint in July and August. On a stay of several nights the aircraft often leaves the island and returns to collect you, and those empty sectors are part of the price. A same-day or next-day return avoids most of it. Repositioning flights out of Ibiza at the end of summer weekends sometimes produce verified empty legs; save your route to hear about them.

Common questions

Ibiza
private jet FAQ

How much is a private jet from London to Ibiza?

The estimated one-way charter price is £21,000 in a Citation X or similar super-midsize jet, for about 1 hr 50 min airborne. Where a light jet suits the passengers and baggage, the equivalent figure is about £15,000. Whole aircraft, subject to date, availability and positioning; the final quotation confirms aircraft, seating, baggage and all applicable charges.

When is the busiest time to fly privately to Ibiza?

From late June to the end of August, and on Friday and Sunday in particular. Slots and parking are tightest then, and prices reflect it. Moving a day either side often changes what is possible.

Can the aircraft wait in Ibiza during my stay?

Sometimes, but in peak season parking is limited and the aircraft often repositions to another airport and comes back for you. That repositioning is chargeable flying, which is why a quotation asks how long you are staying.

How do I get to Formentera by private jet?

Fly to Ibiza; Formentera has no airport. The onward journey is by ferry or private boat from Ibiza Town.

Is the price per seat or for the whole aircraft?

For the whole aircraft. Every figure on this page is for the aircraft, however many of the seats you fill.
