ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE

Which aircraft actually make sense on IbizaHvar

BEST VALUE

Eclipse 550

Light Jet

The Eclipse 550 clears both runways and has range headroom on the 729 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.

Indicative all-in €6,200

MOST POPULAR

Cessna Citation VII

Midsize

Midsize aircraft like the Cessna Citation VII are the workhorse of Ibiza–Hvar — they hit the sweet spot on cabin comfort, block time and cost that the majority of charterers pick.

Indicative all-in €7,700

ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · PRICING INTELLIGENCE

What actually moves the price today

On Ibiza → Hvar, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.

PRICE DRIVERS

Aircraft positioning
Medium

Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Ibiza before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.

Return / repositioning
Medium

If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Hvar, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.

Airport handling & fees
Medium

Landing, handling and ramp fees on IBZ–SPU are set field by field — IBZ and SPU each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.

Fuel price band
Medium

Across 729 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on IBZ–SPU, not the driver of the quote.

Seasonality
Medium

Ibiza → Hvar demand cycles pull the 729 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.

Demand at the target airport
Medium

Ramp capacity at SPU constrains the lift available for 729 nm inbounds from Ibiza — operators quote accordingly.

Weather sensitivity
Low

Weather rarely re-prices IBZ–SPU beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 729 nm.

Slot & PPR pressure
Medium

Slot coordination at SPU — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Ibiza departures and raises handling on IBZ–SPU.

Crew duty & rest
Low

At 729 nm, IBZ–SPU sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.

Overnight parking
Medium

Overnight parking at SPU is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the IBZ–SPU quote.

SAVING OPPORTUNITIES

Saving levers on IbizaHvar

Consider a nearby departure airport

If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Ibiza-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.

Consider a nearby arrival airport

Alternative arrivals near SPU can trim handling and slot pressure on IBZ–SPU — see the airport comparison above.

Match an existing empty leg

IBZ ↔ SPU (729 nm) is a corridor we monitor for empty legs — set an alert and match one when your dates flex.

Flex your departure time

Departing 2–4 hours off the peak slot window at IBZ drops handling and slot fees on the 729 nm run to SPU.

Consider a smaller category

729 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on IBZ–SPU cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

02

Typical flight level

FL280–FL380 on the short 729 nm IBZ–SPU hop

03

Typical routing

Direct IBZ–SPU routing, 729 nm great-circle with negligible airway detour.

04

Runway

8,366 ft (shorter of IBZ and SPU) accommodates super-midsize and heavy jets on typical payloads.

05

Fuel stop likelihood

No fuel stop on 729 nm; IBZ–SPU is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.

06

Cabin service

Light catering only — 729 nm block time leaves no window for a galley service.

07

Best departure time

Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from IBZ clears the weekday slot peak and lands SPU before midday handling pressure.

Quote bands on this corridor

Full-charter one-way, desk quote

€5,300 – €8,900

Light Jet through Midsize over 729 nm IBZ–SPU, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of IBZ sit at the upper end.

Price stand: August 2026. IBZ–SPU quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.

Operator availability, both ends

IBZ–SPU supply — workable

IBZ — 118 archived movements (54 out / 64 in) from 18 operators. SPU — 39 archived movements (22 out / 17 in) from 12 operators. The thinner end sets the price on IBZ–SPU: 24–48h notice materially improves the quote.

Where the aircraft positions from

Positioning into Ibiza (IBZ)

When the based fleet is committed, the next IBZ–SPU lift comes from LEVC (94 nm, 3 aircraft), LEBL (149 nm, 3 aircraft), LELL (162 nm, 1 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.

Positioning into Hvar (SPU)

When the based fleet is committed, the next IBZ–SPU lift comes from LQMO (69 nm, 1 aircraft), LDLO (103 nm, 2 aircraft), LDPL (131 nm, 1 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.

Slots, curfews and handling reality

Ibiza (IBZ) — departing for SPU

IBZ departing for SPU: Slot-coordinated Jun–Sep; ramp saturates on summer weekends. Jun–Sep weekends require early booking and reposition planning.

Seasonal supply squeeze

Hvar (SPU)

Charter movement in our archive concentrates in August and July (92% of 39 recorded legs), and falls away in September. For IBZ–SPU that means booking the peak weeks 2–3 weeks out: the based fleet sells out first, then ferried lift, then nothing, while September is where negotiation actually works.

Aircraft we would talk you out of

Global 7500 / Gulfstream G650 on a short sector

Over 729 nm an ultra-long-range cabin bills roughly €8,100/hour for a flight measured in single-digit hours, and rarely repositions economically to this pair. You pay ULR money for a cabin you cannot use.

Desk recommendations

  • Ibiza (IBZ) and Hvar (SPU) both carry real based supply, so same-day IBZ–SPU requests are workable — but the first two aircraft quoted are usually the cheapest of the day, not the cheapest available. We hold the request open for a second sweep.
  • Fix the slot before the aircraft: on IBZ–SPU it is coordination and curfew at Ibiza (IBZ) — departing for SPU that moves your departure time, not aircraft availability.

ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · BOOKING ADVICE

When to book, when to fly

LEAD TIME

48–72 hours is comfortable — 12 hours is achievable when aircraft are in position.

BEST BOOKING WINDOW

Tuesday–Thursday midweek is typically the lowest-friction window on this pair.

FLEXIBLE DATES

A ±1-day window opens up meaningfully more empty-leg and repositioning options — worth signalling in the enquiry.

HOW TO SAVE MONEY

  • · Depart mid-week rather than Friday/Sunday.
  • · Consider a nearby departure or arrival airport (see the comparison above).
  • · Set an empty-leg alert on this corridor and its reverse — matches often deliver 30–75% discounts.
  • · If your itinerary allows a same-aircraft return, offer it: it removes the operator's empty repositioning cost.
  • · Confirm the maximum runway you can accept — sometimes a smaller category is materially cheaper.
