Palma de Mallorca Airport · PMI / LEPA · Palma de Mallorca, Spain
The Balearics' superyacht and luxury-villa hub — a 90-second drive from the marina.
Palma (LEPA) is the Balearic Islands' main airport and one of the Mediterranean's busiest summer private-jet destinations. A dedicated GA terminal (Signature Flight Support), short taxi to the runway and 25-minute chauffeur into Palma Old Town or Port Adriano make it the default arrival for Mallorca's yacht season, Formentor villa traffic and weekend Balearic hopping.

WHY PALMA
Palma absorbs the bulk of private traffic into the Balearics that doesn't go to Ibiza. Summer weekends (June–early September) see hundreds of private movements per day, with parking constraints rather than slot constraints as the binding limit — we always pre-book ramp space for stays over 2 hours in peak weeks. Winter operations are quiet and easy, with same-day slots routinely available.
OPERATIONAL DETAIL
FBOs
Dedicated GA terminal on the east apron. Direct apron-side car service, on-field Spanish customs, in-house catering.
Hangar maintenance and overnight aircraft storage — preferred for stays of 3+ nights to free up ramp space.

LIVE EMPTY LEGS →FAQ
Yes — Signature Flight Support operates a dedicated GA terminal on Palma's east apron, with direct apron-side car service and on-field Spanish customs.
Late June through early September, especially Friday afternoons / evenings and Sunday afternoons. We always pre-book ramp parking for summer weekend turnarounds.
Yes — the hop is 25 minutes by light jet or turboprop, with multiple flights per day on summer weekends. It's one of our most-quoted inter-island routes.
Yes — no curfew, 24/7 operation. Night-time movements carry a modest handling surcharge but no operational restriction.
Clients landing at Palma most often connect onward to: Private Jet Charter Ibiza, Private Jet Charter Mallorca. Each destination guide lists PMI among its natural arrival airports and covers slot, FBO and ground-transfer logistics on arrival.
Submit a request with dates, passengers and luggage — we issue a confirmed, all-inclusive quote for PMI within 10 minutes. The quote pairs the aircraft with the FBO slot and ground transfer so the trip lands as a single sequence.
Off-peak weeks: 48–72 hours. Peak season at Palma: 1–3 weeks for full control of slot pair and FBO; longer when a major event (see above) overlaps the dates.
Palma handles every category from light jets up to heavy and ultra-long-range aircraft including Global 7500 and G650 missions. We match the cabin size and range to your passenger count, luggage volume and sector length — see the fleet page for layouts and performance charts.
Charter cost from Palma is built from four blocks: (1) aircraft positioning to PMI (or home-base offset), (2) flight time multiplied by hourly rate for the chosen category, (3) landing, handling and parking at Palma, and (4) concierge add-ons such as helicopter transfers or ground transport. We present a single all-inclusive number — no hidden fuel surcharges or segment fees. Visit the jet-charter-cost guide for a detailed breakdown by aircraft size.
Both. Most clients book by category (light / midsize / heavy) and we guarantee a comparable or upgraded aircraft in the same class. If you want a specific type — for example a Gulfstream G650 for a London–Palma de Mallorca leg — we source the exact serial number and confirm its home base, cabin layout and crew currency before locking the quote.
Same-day departures from Palma are possible when the aircraft is already on the field or within a 90-minute positioning radius. The fastest we have executed is 2.5 hours from signed quote to wheels-up. For predictable service, especially during peak weeks, we still recommend 48–72 hours so we can reserve the preferred FBO, crew duty-rest and slot.
Yes. Palma is a high-frequency hub, which means repositioning aircraft create empty-leg opportunities daily. Discounts range from 40–75% versus a confirmed one-way, depending on how closely the published route matches your request. Browse live empty legs or set an alert — when a one-way repositioning flight lines up with your dates, we can lock it within minutes.
Distance drives two cost blocks: flight time (hourly rate × block time) and aircraft positioning. Short hops under 90 minutes from Palma often use light or midsize jets with lower hourly rates. Transcontinental and intercontinental sectors need heavy or ultra-long-range aircraft at higher rates, but the per-passenger cost can be comparable when the cabin is fully utilised. We model every route from PMI to show the exact flight time, fuel burn and positioning offset before you commit.
Hourly rates step up by class: light jets (€3,000–€4,500/hr), midsize (€4,500–€6,500/hr), heavy (€7,500–€11,000/hr) and ultra-long-range (€11,000–€16,000/hr). The right class depends on passenger count, luggage volume and sector length from Palma. We never upsell — if a super-midsize covers your London–Palma de Mallorca leg with full bags, we quote that category rather than a heavy jet. See the jet-charter-cost guide for per-category cabin photos and indicative ranges.
Peak weeks — Cannes Film Festival, Monaco Grand Prix, Art Basel, New Year — push demand at Palma up by 20–40%. Slot scarcity and crew duty-rest limits tighten supply at the same time. We publish a seasonality calendar for PMI so you can see high-pressure windows in advance. Booking 4–6 weeks ahead locks the pre-surge rate; last-minute charters during peak events trade at market premium but still confirm within hours when aircraft are available.
