Miami to Ibiza is a 7,551 km transatlantic charter routinely flown direct on Gulfstream G650ER and Global 7500.

EDITOR'S AIRCRAFT PICKS
The owner-flown standard
Non-stop both ways with a yacht's worth of luggage, eight to fourteen passengers in lie-flat comfort, master suite. The aircraft Ibiza's most-discerning visitors keep on call from June through September.
Family + crew + dogs
Four-zone cabin makes the 9-hour eastbound leg humane for a family of six with two staff and two retrievers. Permanent crew rest area; the only ULR cabin that genuinely sleeps four lying flat.
Three to five passengers, value
Eastbound non-stop with light loads, single splash-and-dash at Santa Maria (SMA) westbound in the autumn. €40,000–€60,000 less per leg than a G650ER for a near-identical cabin.
CORRIDOR NOTES
IBZ slot allocation tightens from late May. By the second week of July, parking on the island is sold out 14 days in advance and aircraft are routinely repositioned to Palma (PMI), Valencia (VLC) or Toulon (TLN) for overnight stays. Plan the inbound and the parking together — a brilliant arrival followed by a frantic departure rebook is the most-common pain on this corridor. We lock both ends before quoting.
Opa-locka (OPF) ↔ Ibiza is 7,500 km — at the realistic edge of a Global 6000 with 10 passengers and northbound jet-stream support. The honest answer is a Global 7500 or G650ER non-stop, or a Falcon 7X with a 30-minute splash-and-dash at Lajes (Azores) or Santa Maria. Eastbound in June–August the tailwind makes non-stop trivial; westbound in September it becomes a routing exercise.
IBZ FBO is Signature Flight Support — single building, fast turn. Tender to Formentera waits at Marina Botafoch (25 minutes from the FBO by Mercedes). Helicopter to a yacht off Cala Salada or anchored at Es Vedrà — 12 minutes block-to-block from the FBO ramp. We coordinate yacht ETA with aircraft ATA so the tender is alongside as you land.
WHEN TO FLY
| WINDOW | NOTE |
|---|---|
| Late May – mid-June | Pre-season; aircraft pick is wide, prices 15–20% softer than peak. |
| Late June – late August | Peak. Book 14+ days out; expect Palma overnight parking for the aircraft. |
| First week of September | Closing parties; demand spike — single highest-revenue week of the year for IBZ. |
| Westbound Sunday afternoons | End-of-yacht-charter surge; pre-position empty legs back to MIA appear weekly. |

CORRIDOR FAQ
Hand-written by our dispatch team for this specific corridor — not generic charter FAQs.
Eastbound in summer, with jet-stream tailwind support and 8 or fewer passengers — yes, comfortably. Westbound in September with full payload — no; plan a 30-minute tech-stop at Santa Maria (SMA) or Lajes (TER) in the Azores. For guaranteed non-stop both ways with 10+ passengers, charter a Global 7500 or G650ER.
Rarely. From the second week of July to the first week of September, IBZ parking is sold out 10–14 days ahead. We reposition the aircraft to Palma (PMI, 15 min), Valencia (VLC, 30 min) or Toulon (TLN, 1h 20m) for the overnight. Quote the reposition with the trip — adding it later doubles the ferry cost.
Three options. (1) Tender from Marina Botafoch: 25 min by Mercedes to the marina, then 35–50 min tender to Formentera anchorage. (2) Helicopter Ibiza to Formentera helipad: 7 minutes block-to-block, then 10-minute tender. (3) Helicopter direct to yacht helipad (if rated): 8–12 minutes. We coordinate ETA with the captain so the tender is alongside as you land.
One-way, non-stop, eastbound mid-July: G650ER €165,000–€195,000; Global 7500 €185,000–€220,000; Falcon 7X with Santa Maria splash-and-dash €130,000–€155,000. Westbound September same aircraft: add 8–12% for fuel and routing. Round-trip with aircraft holding in Europe 7+ days: better economics on a Global 6000 with Atlantic crew rotation.
Yes — almost weekly westbound on Sunday afternoons during yacht-charter season (June through early September), when crewed yachts conclude and clients reposition to the US. Eastbound empty legs are rare. Subscribe to our empty-leg feed for live alerts on this corridor.
INSIDER TIP
"Book the return tender from your hotel to the FBO 60 minutes before wheels-up — Ibiza ground traffic between the Old Town and the airport becomes immobile from 21:00 on summer weekends. The aircraft cannot wait past its slot."
EMPTY LEGS
Transatlantic empty legs on this corridor file regularly — OPF eastbound seasonal appear most weeks year-round, with savings of 35–60% versus full charter. Set an alert and we notify you the moment a matching reposition is filed.

FAQ
Block flight time is approximately 9h 38m on a Boeing BBJ · ACJ319 at typical block speed. Eastbound direct year-round; westbound headwind months may require a tech-stop at Goose Bay (CYYR) or Keflavík (BIKF) on smaller ULR aircraft. Add 20 minutes per side for FBO ramp-to-aircraft transfer.
All-inclusive one-way pricing on the 7,551 km corridor: heavy jet €108,500 – €130,000; ultra long range €135,500 – €169,500; vip airliner €217,000+. Peak weekends and holiday seasons carry a further 15–30% premium. Empty-leg pricing on the same routing typically lands 35–60% below these numbers.
For transatlantic non-stop in every season, the Gulfstream G650ER and Global 7500 are the right tools — direct year-round, master suite, lie-flat seating and dedicated crew rest. The Falcon 7X and Global 6000 fly direct in tailwind months and single-stop via Goose Bay or Keflavík in westbound headwinds.
Departure: Opa-Locka (OPF) or Miami Executive (TMB). Arrival: Ibiza (IBZ). We pick by aircraft category, slot availability and onward chauffeur or helicopter transfer time.
