WHAT TO DO NEXT · AIRCRAFT CHOICE DECIDES THIS SECTOR
Aircraft choice matters more than usual here because the limiting field removes classes that otherwise have the range for the sector — the runway, not the distance, sets the short-list.
A second airport with comparable verified data serves at least one end of this pair, so the runway constraint can also be answered by changing the field rather than the aircraft.
ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Light Jet
The Eclipse 550 clears both runways and has range headroom on the 794 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €6,600
MOST POPULAR
Midsize
Midsize aircraft like the Cessna Citation VII are the workhorse of Palma de Mallorca–Corfu — they hit the sweet spot on cabin comfort, block time and cost that the majority of charterers pick.
Indicative all-in €8,300
FASTEST
Super Midsize
On 794 nm the Bombardier Challenger 300 carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 15 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €9,400

7,792ft
PMI publishes 10,728 ft of runway, which accepts ultra-long-range aircraft and below at full performance.
CFU publishes 7,792 ft, accepting heavy jet aircraft and below.
The 794 nm sector is inside the usable range of light jet, midsize, super-midsize, heavy jet and ultra-long-range metal after IFR reserves.
Runway length at CFU (Corfu) — not range — removes ultra-long-range from this pair; Heavy jet is the practical ceiling into the field.
Nonstop and runway-legal on this pair: light jet, midsize, super-midsize and heavy jet.
Payload or fuel trade-offs apply where the published runway sits under the preferred length (ultra-long-range 8,000 ft preferred).
ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · PRICING INTELLIGENCE
On Palma de Mallorca → Corfu, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Palma de Mallorca before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Corfu, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on PMI–CFU are set field by field — PMI and CFU each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 794 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on PMI–CFU, not the driver of the quote.
Palma de Mallorca → Corfu demand cycles pull the 794 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at CFU constrains the lift available for 794 nm inbounds from Palma de Mallorca — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices PMI–CFU beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 794 nm.
Slot coordination at CFU — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Palma de Mallorca departures and raises handling on PMI–CFU.
At 794 nm, PMI–CFU sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at CFU is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the PMI–CFU quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Palma de Mallorca → Corfu
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Palma de Mallorca-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near CFU can trim handling and slot pressure on PMI–CFU — see the airport comparison above.
PMI ↔ CFU (794 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 PMI drops handling and slot fees on the 794 nm run to CFU.
794 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on PMI–CFU cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

ASK A QUESTIONAirborne time is approximately 2h 25m on the 794 nm great-circle sector in a light jet, or about 2h 40m block to block once taxi at PMI and CFU is counted. Across the 4 classes that clear both runways nonstop, block time runs from 2h 20m in a heavy jet to 2h 40m in a light jet. Runway length at CFU — not range — keeps ultra-long-range off the pair, so these times assume heavy jet or smaller. Figures are indicative great-circle estimates; actual times move with routing, winds and ATC on the day.
Over the 794 nm sector our desk models light jet charter from €5,600 one-way, midsize from €7,100 and super-midsize from €8,100. Neither field length nor sector range removes a cabin category here, so the spread between light jet and super-midsize reflects cabin choice rather than an operating restriction on the pair. heavy jet aircraft clear both fields on this pair but carry no modelled row here, so those cabins are quoted on request. More than one field serves this pair, and the modelled rows above are the ones our desk applies to the primary airport pairing. 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.
