ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Midsize
The Cessna Citation VII clears both runways and has range headroom on the 1,180 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €11,500
FASTEST
Heavy
On 1,180 nm the Dassault Falcon 50EX carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 16 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €22,300

On Lisbon → Split, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Lisbon before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Split, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on LIS–SPU are set field by field — LIS and SPU each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 1,180 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on LIS–SPU, not the driver of the quote.
Lisbon → Split demand cycles pull the 1,180 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at SPU constrains the lift available for 1,180 nm inbounds from Lisbon — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices LIS–SPU beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 1,180 nm.
Slot coordination at SPU — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Lisbon departures and raises handling on LIS–SPU.
At 1,180 nm, LIS–SPU sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at SPU is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the LIS–SPU quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Lisbon → Split
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Lisbon-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near SPU can trim handling and slot pressure on LIS–SPU — see the airport comparison above.
LIS ↔ SPU (1,180 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 LIS drops handling and slot fees on the 1,180 nm run to SPU.
1,180 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on LIS–SPU cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

Nonstop feasibility
Well within super-midsize range — comfortably nonstop on this corridor.
Typical flight level
FL370–FL430 across 1,180 nm on LIS–SPU
Typical routing
Direct LIS–SPU routing, 1,180 nm great-circle with negligible airway detour.
Runway
8,366 ft (shorter of LIS and SPU) accommodates super-midsize and heavy jets on typical payloads.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 1,180 nm; LIS–SPU is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.
Cabin service
Light catering only — 1,180 nm block time leaves no window for a galley service.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from LIS clears the weekday slot peak and lands SPU before midday handling pressure.

€9,900 – €22,800
Midsize through Heavy over 1,180 nm LIS–SPU, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of LIS sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. LIS–SPU quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
LIS–SPU supply — workable
LIS — 36 archived movements (13 out / 23 in) from 5 operators. SPU — 39 archived movements (22 out / 17 in) from 12 operators. The thinner end sets the price on LIS–SPU: 24–48h notice materially improves the quote.
Positioning into Lisbon (LIS)
When the based fleet is committed, the next LIS–SPU lift comes from LEST (249 nm, 2 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 Split (SPU)
When the based fleet is committed, the next LIS–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.
Split (SPU)
Charter movement in our archive concentrates in August and July (92% of 39 recorded legs), and falls away in September. For LIS–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.
Global 7500 / Gulfstream G650 on a short sector
Over 1,180 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 LIS within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
