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.
ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Light Jet
The Eclipse 550 clears both runways and has range headroom on the 321 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €3,800
MOST POPULAR
Midsize
Midsize aircraft like the Cessna Citation VII are the workhorse of Palma de Mallorca–Olbia — they hit the sweet spot on cabin comfort, block time and cost that the majority of charterers pick.

ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · PRICING INTELLIGENCE
On Palma de Mallorca → Olbia, 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 Olbia, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on PMI–OLB are set field by field — PMI and OLB each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 321 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on PMI–OLB, not the driver of the quote.
Palma de Mallorca → Olbia demand cycles pull the 321 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at OLB constrains the lift available for 321 nm inbounds from Palma de Mallorca — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices PMI–OLB beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 321 nm.
Slot coordination at OLB — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Palma de Mallorca departures and raises handling on PMI–OLB.
At 321 nm, PMI–OLB sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at OLB is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the PMI–OLB quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Palma de Mallorca → Olbia
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 OLB can trim handling and slot pressure on PMI–OLB — see the airport comparison above.
PMI ↔ OLB (321 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 321 nm run to OLB.
321 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on PMI–OLB cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

ASK A QUESTIONAirborne time is approximately 1h 10m on the 321 nm great-circle sector in a light jet, or about 1h 25m block to block once taxi at PMI and OLB is counted. Across the 5 classes that clear both runways nonstop, block time runs from 1h 15m in a heavy jet to 1h 25m 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 321 nm sector our desk models light jet charter from €3,200 one-way and midsize from €3,800. 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.
