MOST POPULAR
Midsize
Midsize aircraft like the Cessna Citation VII are the workhorse of Split–Corfu — they hit the sweet spot on cabin comfort, block time and cost that the majority of charterers pick.

On Split → Corfu, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Split 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 SPU–CFU are set field by field — SPU and CFU each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 287 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on SPU–CFU, not the driver of the quote.
Split → Corfu demand cycles pull the 287 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at CFU constrains the lift available for 287 nm inbounds from Split — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices SPU–CFU beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 287 nm.
Slot coordination at CFU — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Split departures and raises handling on SPU–CFU.
At 287 nm, SPU–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 SPU–CFU quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Split → Corfu
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Split-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 SPU–CFU — see the airport comparison above.
SPU ↔ CFU (287 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 SPU drops handling and slot fees on the 287 nm run to CFU.
287 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on SPU–CFU cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

€3,000 – €4,800
Light Jet through Midsize over 287 nm SPU–CFU, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of SPU sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. SPU–CFU quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
SPU–CFU supply — workable
SPU — 39 archived movements (22 out / 17 in) from 12 operators. CFU — 36 archived movements (22 out / 14 in) from 9 operators. The thinner end sets the price on SPU–CFU: 24–48h notice materially improves the quote.
Positioning into Split (SPU)
When the based fleet is committed, the next SPU–CFU 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.
Positioning into Corfu (CFU)
When the based fleet is committed, the next SPU–CFU lift comes from LYPG (168 nm, 1 aircraft), LGMG (189 nm, 6 aircraft), LGAV (214 nm, 15 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Global 7500 / Gulfstream G650 on a short sector
Over 287 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 SPU within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
