BEST VALUE
Light Jet
The Eclipse 550 clears both runways and has range headroom on the 248 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €3,300
MOST POPULAR
Midsize
Midsize aircraft like the Cessna Citation VII are the workhorse of Ibiza–Madrid — they hit the sweet spot on cabin comfort, block time and cost that the majority of charterers pick.

On Ibiza → Madrid, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Ibiza before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Madrid, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on IBZ–MAD are set field by field — IBZ and MAD each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 248 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on IBZ–MAD, not the driver of the quote.
Ibiza → Madrid demand cycles pull the 248 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at MAD constrains the lift available for 248 nm inbounds from Ibiza — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices IBZ–MAD beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 248 nm.
Slot coordination at MAD — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Ibiza departures and raises handling on IBZ–MAD.
At 248 nm, IBZ–MAD sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at MAD is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the IBZ–MAD quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Ibiza → Madrid
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.
Alternative arrivals near MAD can trim handling and slot pressure on IBZ–MAD — see the airport comparison above.
IBZ ↔ MAD (248 nm) is a corridor we monitor for empty legs — set an alert and match one when your dates flex.
Departing 2–4 hours off the peak slot window at IBZ drops handling and slot fees on the 248 nm run to MAD.
248 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on IBZ–MAD cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

FL280–FL380 on the short 248 nm IBZ–MAD hop
Typical routing
Direct IBZ–MAD routing, 248 nm great-circle with negligible airway detour.
Runway
9,186 ft (shorter of IBZ and MAD) clears heavy metal unrestricted.
Fuel stop likelihood

Cabin service
Light catering only — 248 nm block time leaves no window for a galley service.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from IBZ clears the weekday slot peak and lands MAD before midday handling pressure.

Full-charter one-way, desk quote
€2,800 – €4,500
Light Jet through Midsize over 248 nm IBZ–MAD, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of IBZ sit at the upper end.
Price stand: July 2026, reconciled against 3 observed movements on the pair. IBZ–MAD quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
IBZ–MAD supply — deep
IBZ — 118 archived movements (54 out / 64 in) from 18 operators. MAD — 90 archived movements (40 out / 50 in) from 10 operators. Both ends carry based metal, so same-day IBZ–MAD lift is realistic outside major event weeks.
Positioning into Ibiza (IBZ)
When the based fleet is committed, the next IBZ–MAD 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 Madrid (MAD)
When the based fleet is committed, the next IBZ–MAD lift comes from LEMD (0 nm, 12 aircraft), LEVC (154 nm, 3 aircraft), LEMG (233 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.
Ibiza (IBZ) — departing for MAD
IBZ departing for MAD: Slot-coordinated Jun–Sep; ramp saturates on summer weekends. Jun–Sep weekends require early booking and reposition planning.
Madrid (MAD)
Charter movement in our archive concentrates in July and August (72% of 90 recorded legs), and falls away in September and October. For IBZ–MAD 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.
Global 7500 / Gulfstream G650 on a short sector
Over 248 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.
Empty Legs
Repositioning legs departing IBZ within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
