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–Hvar — they hit the sweet spot on cabin comfort, block time and cost that the majority of charterers pick.

On Olbia → Hvar, 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 Hvar, 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 → Hvar 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 → Hvar
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.

€3,300 – €5,300
Light Jet through Midsize over 340 nm OLB–SPU, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of OLB sit at the upper end.
Price stand: July 2026, reconciled against 1 observed movements on the pair. OLB–SPU quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
OLB–SPU supply — workable
OLB — 130 archived movements (68 out / 62 in) from 22 operators. SPU — 39 archived movements (22 out / 17 in) from 12 operators. The thinner end sets the price on OLB–SPU: 24–48h notice materially improves the quote.
Positioning into Olbia (OLB)
When the based fleet is committed, the next OLB–SPU lift comes from LIRA (149 nm, 2 aircraft), LIAF (188 nm, 1 aircraft), LFTZ (194 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.
Positioning into Hvar (SPU)
When the based fleet is committed, the next OLB–SPU lift comes from LQMO (69 nm, 1 aircraft), LDLO (103 nm, 2 aircraft), LDPL (131 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.
Olbia (OLB) — departing for SPU
OLB departing for SPU: Slot-coordinated Jun–Sep — Porto Cervo peak. Curfew: 23:00–06:00.
Hvar (SPU)
Charter movement in our archive concentrates in August and July (92% of 39 recorded legs), and falls away in September. For OLB–SPU 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.
Global 7500 / Gulfstream G650 on a short sector
Over 340 nm an ultra-long-range cabin bills roughly €8,100/hour for a flight measured in single-digit hours, and rarely repositions economically to this pair. You pay ULR money for a cabin you cannot use.
Empty Legs
Repositioning legs departing OLB within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
