The season
Ibiza, May to October
Demand for aircraft parking at Ibiza rises and falls with the island's calendar. This is the shape of a typical season, and what it means for booking.
May
Moderate
The season opens. A calmer airport and easier parking, with the first openings late in the month.
June
Busy
Opening weekends draw crowds. Book weekend arrivals early.
July
Busy
High summer. Friday arrivals and Sunday departures fill first.
August
Peak
Parking is the constraint. Expect drop-offs, with the aircraft waiting elsewhere.
September
Busy
Still warm and lively; closing parties begin at the end of the month.
October
Moderate
Closing weekends early on, then the island winds down.

On the island
Where the flight leads
Ibiza's airport sits in the south of the island, close to Ibiza Town and a short drive from most of the coast.
Ibiza Town and Dalt Vila
The walled old town and the marina, about 15 minutes from the airport by car.
Es Vedra and the west
Cliffs, coves and the island's most photographed sunsets.
Beach clubs
Long lunches and loungers along the south and west coasts.
Formentera
No airport, so the last stretch is by boat from Ibiza's port.
Formentera
From the runway to the boat
Formentera has no airport, so flights land in Ibiza and the last stretch is by sea. It is an easy hop, and with a little planning the transfer is waiting when you land.
- To the portAbout 15–20 minutes by car from the airport to Ibiza Town's port.
- Fast ferryAbout 30 minutes to La Savina, with frequent sailings in summer.
- Private boatA charter boat from Ibiza's marinas, timed to your arrival.
- HelicopterPossible on some days, subject to landing permissions; ask early.
How it works
Three steps to Ibiza
Send the trip
Where you are leaving from, your dates and how many are flying. In peak weeks, tell us how flexible your timing is.
We check aircraft, slots and parking
Your advisor asks licensed operators for availability and confirms what the airport can accept on your dates.
Choose and fly
Pick an all-in option, sign the charter agreement, and your advisor stays with the trip until you land.
Safety and standards
Licensed operators, every flight
We are a broker: we arrange the flight, and a certificated carrier flies it.
Air Operator Certificates
Within Europe, carriers hold an Air Operator Certificate from their national authority under EU or UK rules, the equivalent of FAA Part 135.
ARGUS
An audit company that rates operators Gold, Gold+ or Platinum on safety history, pilots and procedures.
Wyvern
A third-party audit programme; operators that meet it hold the Wingman standard.
IS-BAO
A worldwide standard for business aircraft operators, awarded in stages one to three as their safety system matures.
Regulators explain how operators are licensed: see EASA and the UK Civil Aviation Authority. Crews on every flight work within legal duty and rest limits.
How long is the flight from London?
About 2 hours 20 minutes in a light or midsize jet from Luton or Farnborough, depending on winds and routing. Paris takes about 1 hour 50, and Geneva about 1 hour 35.
Why is August so hard to book?
Parking for private aircraft at Ibiza airport is limited and heavily in demand. In peak weeks the aircraft may drop you off, fly to another airport to wait, and return for you, which adds flying to the price.
Can I fly straight to Formentera?
No. Formentera has no airport, so you land in Ibiza and continue by boat, or by helicopter where landing permissions allow.
How early should I book for summer?
For opening and closing weekends and for August, as early as you can, because aircraft and parking go first. In May, June and October, shorter notice often works.
What does a flight to Ibiza cost?
It depends on the aircraft, the date and where the jet is based. As a guide, light jets typically run $3,500–5,500 per flight hour in US-market terms, so about 2 hours 20 minutes from London works out at roughly $8,000–13,000 of flying before fees, with any peak-week repositioning on top. Your quote gives the exact all-in figure.
Who operates the flights?
Licensed carriers: within Europe, operators holding an Air Operator Certificate under EU or UK rules; for US operators, FAA Part 135. Private Jet to Ibiza arranges the flight as a broker and names the operator before you book.
Can we bring the dog?
Often, yes. Many operators accept pets with approval in advance, and EU pet travel rules (microchip, rabies vaccination and the right documents) apply when you cross a border. Tell us about your dog when you ask.
Is there a membership or deposit?
Neither. Asking costs nothing; you pay only once you choose an option and sign the charter agreement.
