CORRIDOR NOTES
Puerto Banús to Ibiza by yacht is 16–20 hours. By charter, 1h 25m. The same yacht owners routinely fly the crew and guests separately, moving people on private aviation while boats reposition on their own schedule. Weekend patterns: guests arrive Ibiza Friday, yacht follows Saturday, guests fly back Marbella Sunday night — the corridor sees three-legs per weekend per owner group in peak weeks.
AGP General Aviation Terminal is on the east side of the airfield, separate from commercial. Handling: Signature Flight Support, Menzies Executive, GestAir. 24 h operations, ILS Cat III, no night curfew. Transfer from Marbella to AGP: 45 minutes on a normal Friday, 65 minutes if Mijas Costa traffic is stacked.
GIB is slot-free with a single dedicated Bizav handler (STARR Gibraltar). Landing fees run €700–€1,100 less than AGP for Light Jets. Two caveats: (1) Levanter east wind closes the runway 6–12 days per summer — check the 24-hour forecast before committing; (2) GIB requires passport for UK vs Spain border crossing, adding 15 minutes to the Marbella ground transfer.

CORRIDOR FAQ
Hand-written by our dispatch team for this specific corridor — not generic charter FAQs.
Light jet Fri–Sun peak: €13,500–€16,500 ex AGP. Midsize: €17,000–€20,500. Off-peak Tue–Wed: 25–30% below.
No — Gibraltar is 10–15 minutes further from central Marbella and adds a border crossing. The Gibraltar advantage is cost (~€800/leg cheaper), not time. Choose AGP when you're time-critical; GIB when flexibility and price matter more.
Signature Flight Support Terminal Ejecutivo is the primary; Sky Valet the secondary. Both are north-apron VIP terminals, 6 minutes wing-to-car.
Yes — day-trip with aircraft-wait: Light jet €13,500–€19,500 for a 6-hour ground time in Ibiza. Standard for beach-club-day-trips and villa viewings.
July 20 – August 20, Sunday 15:00–22:00 IBZ → AGP. Aircraft reposition after Puerto Banús weekend dropoffs. Alert-registered clients receive most legs within 20 minutes of filing.
INSIDER TIP
"Save an hour on Sunday night: file the return leg IBZ → AGP for 19:00 IBZ departure (not the standard 21:00–22:00 peak). You'll clear IBZ ATC without the hold, land AGP 20:25, and be back in your Puerto Banús villa by 21:30 — before Nikki Beach's late-set starts."
EMPTY LEGS
Weekly 4–6 empty legs AGP ↔ IBZ in season. Sunday IBZ → AGP is the strongest window — many aircraft reposition to serve the Marbella villa turnover on Monday. Savings 55–70%.

FAQ
Light jets start at €9,800 one-way ex AGP. Midsize €13,500–€20,500. Friday-evening and Sunday-return peaks carry 20–30% premium in July / August.
AGP is 45 min from central Marbella, 24 h operations, unrestricted for all jets. GIB is 55 min from Marbella but slot-free and often €600–€900 cheaper per leg — ideal for Very Light / Light jets. GIB is weather-sensitive (Levanter winds can close the runway); AGP is the safer default for time-critical trips.
