BEST VALUE
Light Jet
The Eclipse 550 clears both runways and has range headroom on the 394 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €4,200
MOST POPULAR
Midsize
Midsize aircraft like the Cessna Citation VII are the workhorse of Ibiza–Olbia — they hit the sweet spot on cabin comfort, block time and cost that the majority of charterers pick.

ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · PRICING INTELLIGENCE
On Ibiza → Olbia, 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 Olbia, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on IBZ–OLB are set field by field — IBZ and OLB each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 394 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on IBZ–OLB, not the driver of the quote.
Ibiza → Olbia demand cycles pull the 394 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at OLB constrains the lift available for 394 nm inbounds from Ibiza — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices IBZ–OLB beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 394 nm.
Slot coordination at OLB — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Ibiza departures and raises handling on IBZ–OLB.
At 394 nm, IBZ–OLB sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at OLB is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the IBZ–OLB quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Ibiza → Olbia
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 OLB can trim handling and slot pressure on IBZ–OLB — see the airport comparison above.
IBZ ↔ OLB (394 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 394 nm run to OLB.
394 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on IBZ–OLB cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

ASK A QUESTIONAirborne time is approximately 1h 20m on the 394 nm great-circle sector in a light jet, or about 1h 35m block to block once taxi at IBZ and OLB is counted. Across the 5 classes that clear both runways nonstop, block time runs from 1h 25m in a heavy jet to 1h 35m in a light jet. All five cabin classes are runway-legal and range-capable on this pair, so the decision is cabin and cost rather than sector time. Figures are indicative great-circle estimates; actual times move with routing, winds and ATC on the day.
Over the 394 nm sector our desk models light jet charter from €3,600 one-way and midsize from €4,300. Neither field length nor sector range removes a cabin category here, so the spread between light jet and midsize reflects cabin choice rather than an operating restriction on the pair. The two accepted categories sit close together on this sector, so moving up from light jet to midsize changes cabin and range headroom more than it changes the modelled figure. super-midsize, heavy jet and ultra-long-range aircraft clear both fields on this pair but carry no modelled row here, so those cabins are quoted on request. These are modelled charter estimates for this pair — not live quotes, not observed transactions — and the final figure moves with aircraft positioning and availability on the date.
Cessna Citation VII (Midsize) is our standing pick — Midsize aircraft like the Cessna Citation VII are the workhorse of Ibiza–Olbia — they hit the sweet spot on cabin comfort, block time and cost that the majority of charterers pick.
Well within super-midsize range — comfortably nonstop on this corridor.
Broadly steady year-round.
Set an alert on both directions — matches deliver 30–75% discounts and appear with 24–72h notice.
Yes — Ibiza club-opening season in late May–early Jun materially compresses aircraft availability; book 4–8 weeks ahead for that window.
