On Martha's Vineyard → Madrid, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Martha's Vineyard 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 MVY–MAD are set field by field — MVY and MAD each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 2,961 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on MVY–MAD, not the driver of the quote.
Martha's Vineyard → Madrid demand cycles pull the 2,961 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at MAD constrains the lift available for 2,961 nm inbounds from Martha's Vineyard — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices MVY–MAD beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 2,961 nm.
Slot coordination at MAD — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Martha's Vineyard departures and raises handling on MVY–MAD.
At 2,961 nm, MVY–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 MVY–MAD quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Martha's Vineyard → Madrid
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Martha's Vineyard-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 MVY–MAD — see the airport comparison above.
MVY ↔ MAD (2,961 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 MVY drops handling and slot fees on the 2,961 nm run to MAD.
2,961 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on MVY–MAD cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

€24,900 – €34,500
Midsize through Super Midsize over 2,961 nm MVY–MAD, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of MVY sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. MVY–MAD quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
MVY–MAD supply — workable
MVY — 12 archived movements (9 out / 3 in) from 5 operators. MAD — 90 archived movements (40 out / 50 in) from 10 operators. The thinner end sets the price on MVY–MAD: 24–48h notice materially improves the quote.
Positioning into Martha's Vineyard (MVY)
When the based fleet is committed, the next MVY–MAD lift comes from KPYM (31 nm, 1 aircraft), KWST (54 nm, 8 aircraft), KBOS (61 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 Madrid (MAD)
When the based fleet is committed, the next MVY–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.
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 MVY–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.
Phenom 100 / Citation M2 and comparable light jets
At 2,961 nm this sector is beyond a comfortable light-jet leg with full seats and bags — you buy a fuel stop, and a stop costs more than the class saves. It is also the class where golf bags and ski gear stop fitting.
Empty Legs
Repositioning legs departing MVY within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
