340 nm great-circle between OLB and SPU, 1h 15m typical block time.
“Aircraft positioning sets the Olbia–Split number on a 1h 15m sector; flexing around it beats negotiating on rate.”

WHAT TO DO NEXT · OPERATIONALLY CONSTRAINED SECTOR
Planning on this pair is shaped by a published curfew and slot coordination at the airports above, so the departure time and the aircraft need to be agreed together rather than in sequence.

BEST VALUE
Light Jet
The Eclipse 550 clears both runways and has range headroom on the 340 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €3,900
MOST POPULAR
Midsize
Midsize aircraft like the Cessna Citation VII are the workhorse of Olbia–Split — they hit the sweet spot on cabin comfort, block time and cost that the majority of charterers pick.

ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · PRICING INTELLIGENCE
On Olbia → Split, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Olbia 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 OLB–SPU are set field by field — OLB and SPU each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 340 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on OLB–SPU, not the driver of the quote.
Olbia → Split demand cycles pull the 340 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at SPU constrains the lift available for 340 nm inbounds from Olbia — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices OLB–SPU beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 340 nm.
Slot coordination at SPU — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Olbia departures and raises handling on OLB–SPU.
At 340 nm, OLB–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 OLB–SPU quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Olbia → Split
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Olbia-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 OLB–SPU — see the airport comparison above.
OLB ↔ SPU (340 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 OLB drops handling and slot fees on the 340 nm run to SPU.
340 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on OLB–SPU cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

ASK A QUESTIONAirborne time is approximately 1h 15m on the 340 nm great-circle sector in a light jet, or about 1h 30m block to block once taxi at OLB and SPU is counted. Across the 5 classes that clear both runways nonstop, block time runs from 1h 15m in an ultra-long-range to 1h 30m 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 340 nm sector our desk models light jet charter from €3,300 one-way and midsize from €3,900. 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.
