BEST VALUE
Heavy
The Gulfstream G500 clears both runways and has range headroom on the 4,044 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €76,300
FASTEST
Ultra Long Range
On 4,044 nm the Bombardier Global 5000 carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 23 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €71,300

On Palm Beach → Ibiza, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Palm Beach before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
IBZ takes heavy one-way arrivals in season, so operators price a probable empty 4,044 nm return toward Palm Beach into the PBI–IBZ quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on PBI–IBZ are set field by field — PBI and IBZ each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
On a 4,044 nm sector, jet-fuel price movements meaningfully change the quote — operators quote against a live fuel-uplift band.
PBI–IBZ is a summer Mediterranean corridor — 4,044 nm inbound to Ibiza prices up sharply Jun–Sep, with Friday/Saturday premiums out of Palm Beach.
Ramp capacity at IBZ during yachting season constrains the lift available for 4,044 nm inbounds from Palm Beach — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices PBI–IBZ beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 4,044 nm.
Slot coordination at IBZ — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Palm Beach departures and raises handling on PBI–IBZ.
Ultra-long sectors trigger augmented crew requirements — an extra pilot's cost is reflected in the hourly rate.
Overnight parking at IBZ during Jun–Sep is severely rationed — expect a 4,044 nm repositioning quote back toward Palm Beach if the aircraft cannot stay.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Palm Beach → Ibiza
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Palm Beach-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near IBZ can trim handling and slot pressure on PBI–IBZ — see the airport comparison above.
PBI ↔ IBZ (4,044 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 PBI drops handling and slot fees on the 4,044 nm run to IBZ.
Flying Sunday/Monday instead of Friday/Saturday during peak season regularly reduces the quote by 20–40%.
A same-aircraft return on PBI–IBZ avoids the repositioning charge back to base — say so in the quote request.

Palm Beach → Ibiza operational profile
Nonstop feasibility
Nonstop for heavy jets (Falcon 8X, Challenger 605/650 with light payload); a full cabin may want a Global 6000.
Typical flight level
FL410–FL450 over the 4,044 nm PBI–IBZ sector
Typical routing
Overland European upper routes — direct via UN airways with minimal detour.
Runway
9,186 ft (shorter of PBI and IBZ) clears heavy metal unrestricted.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 4,044 nm; PBI–IBZ is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.
Cabin service
Multi-course dining, sleep configuration and hot cabin service — full FA experience.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from PBI clears the weekday slot peak and lands IBZ before midday handling pressure.

Ultra Long Range through Heavy over 4,044 nm PBI–IBZ, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of PBI sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. PBI–IBZ quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
PBI–IBZ supply — thin
PBI — 3 archived movements (2 out / 1 in) from 3 operators. IBZ — 113 archived movements (53 out / 60 in) from 18 operators. Most PBI–IBZ lift positions in, so expect a ferry element in the price and give us 48h+ where you can.
Positioning into Palm Beach (PBI)
With little metal based on the field, aircraft typically ferry in from KPBI (0 nm, 13 aircraft), KBCT (18 nm, 6 aircraft), KPMP (26 nm, 6 aircraft). A 30–60 minute positioning sector is normal and is already inside the quotes above — beware anyone showing a price that ignores it.
Positioning into Ibiza (IBZ)
When the based fleet is committed, the next PBI–IBZ lift comes from LEVC (94 nm, 3 aircraft), LEBL (149 nm, 3 aircraft), LELL (162 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.
Ibiza (IBZ) — arriving from PBI
IBZ arriving from PBI: Slot-coordinated Jun–Sep; ramp saturates on summer weekends. Jun–Sep weekends require early booking and reposition planning.
Ibiza (IBZ)
Charter movement in our archive concentrates in July and August (97% of 113 recorded legs), and falls away in September. For PBI–IBZ 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 4,044 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 PBI within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
