St. Tropez to Ibiza is the Mediterranean's most-flown summer villa-hop. Charter connects two of Europe's tightest slot-controlled fields — La Môle and Ibiza — in 80 minutes rampe-to-rampe, replacing a full day on a ferry via Barcelona. Sunday afternoon repositions between the two islands are the deepest empty-leg pool in Europe from late June to early September.
348 nm great-circle between LTT and IBZ, 1h 20m typical block time.
“Price on this pair follows aircraft positioning. Give us a day of latitude and the saving usually shows up there, not in the rate card.”

BEST VALUE
Light Jet
The Eclipse 550 clears both runways and has range headroom on the 348 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 St. Tropez–Ibiza — they hit the sweet spot on cabin comfort, block time and cost that the majority of charterers pick.
Indicative all-in €4,700
BEST FOR FAMILIES
Super Midsize
Cabin height, a real lavatory, and dedicated baggage make the Bombardier Challenger 300 the sensible family choice on St. Tropez–Ibiza — enough room for children, pets and holiday bags without stepping into a heavier, over-specified jet.
Indicative all-in €5,200

On St. Tropez → Ibiza, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to St. Tropez 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 348 nm return toward St. Tropez into the LTT–IBZ quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on LTT–IBZ are set field by field — LTT and IBZ each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 348 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on LTT–IBZ, not the driver of the quote.
LTT–IBZ is a summer Mediterranean corridor — 348 nm inbound to Ibiza prices up sharply Jun–Sep, with Friday/Saturday premiums out of St. Tropez.
Ramp capacity at IBZ during yachting season constrains the lift available for 348 nm inbounds from St. Tropez — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices LTT–IBZ beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 348 nm.
Slot coordination at IBZ — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on St. Tropez departures and raises handling on LTT–IBZ.
At 348 nm, LTT–IBZ sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at IBZ during Jun–Sep is severely rationed — expect a 348 nm repositioning quote back toward St. Tropez if the aircraft cannot stay.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on St. Tropez → Ibiza
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another St. Tropez-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 LTT–IBZ — see the airport comparison above.
LTT ↔ IBZ (348 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 LTT drops handling and slot fees on the 348 nm run to IBZ.
Flying Sunday/Monday instead of Friday/Saturday during peak season regularly reduces the quote by 20–40%.
348 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on LTT–IBZ cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.
A same-aircraft return on LTT–IBZ avoids the repositioning charge back to base — say so in the quote request.

St. Tropez → Ibiza operational profile
Nonstop feasibility
Well within super-midsize range — comfortably nonstop on this corridor.
Typical flight level
FL280–FL380 on the short 348 nm LTT–IBZ hop
Typical routing
Direct LTT–IBZ routing, 348 nm great-circle with negligible airway detour.
Runway
3,514 ft (shorter of LTT and IBZ) is the binding constraint — light or performance-optimised midsize jets are the safe pick.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 348 nm; LTT–IBZ is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.
Cabin service
Light catering only — 348 nm block time leaves no window for a galley service.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from LTT clears the weekday slot peak and lands IBZ before midday handling pressure.
Field capability
We track 4 ground-handling and 1 VIP catering suppliers at Ibiza Airport (AviaPartner Executive, FBO Ibiza and 2 more), so handling, slots and catering are arranged through named counterparties rather than a broker chain.
first-party operational record
The longest jet-capable runway across the 1 field serving Ibiza Airport is 9,186 ft at Ibiza Airport, which sets the largest cabin class that can be dispatched here.
first-party operational record
Observed supply
2 charter operators in our verified directory declare a home base at Ibiza Airport — Executive Airlines Ibiza, Skyler Executive Helicopters — which is why positioning legs from this end are often quotable same-day.

€3,400 – €5,900
Light Jet through Super Midsize over 348 nm LTT–IBZ, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of LTT sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. LTT–IBZ quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
LTT–IBZ supply — thin
LTT — 4 archived movements (2 out / 2 in) from 2 operators. IBZ — 118 archived movements (54 out / 64 in) from 18 operators. Most LTT–IBZ lift positions in, so expect a ferry element in the price and give us 48h+ where you can.
Positioning into St. Tropez (LTT)
With little metal based on the field, aircraft typically ferry in from LFTZ (0 nm, 1 aircraft), LFTH (16 nm, 1 aircraft), LFMD (29 nm, 2 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 LTT–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 LTT
IBZ arriving from LTT: 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 (96% of 118 recorded legs), and falls away in September. For LTT–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.
Global 7500 / Gulfstream G650 on a short sector
Over 348 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 LTT within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
