Airports on the route
Geneva Airport is one of the busiest business hubs in Europe. Palma de Mallorca Airport serves the whole island and maintains a steady level of business activity even outside the summer season. The airport is specified in each offer.
For what sort of journeys?
The traffic is mainly private: private residences, leisure flights and holiday trips, with an international clientele based in the Geneva region. An empty leg is scheduled on a fixed date, which suits holidays planned with flexibility.
Seasonality and availability
The two ends experience opposite peak seasons: the Alpine winter on one side, and the Balearic summer on the other. This situation extends the period during which a repositioning can be published, without making it certain.
Why are there empty legs between Geneva and Palma de Mallorca?
In business aviation, a jet does not necessarily remain in the city where it drops off its passengers. It may need to return to its base, another airport or the departure point for its next flight. When it makes this journey without passengers, it is known as an empty leg.
Unlike a traditional charter, the route, date and timetable of an empty leg are already set by the airline. Passengers therefore book an existing flight, with less flexibility. The price is consequently lower than that of a bespoke charter. MarketJet brings together the offers published by its partner airlines so that they can all be viewed in one place.

Two areas of activity at different times of the year mean that aircraft need to be moved from one region to another throughout the year. When one of these routes between Geneva and Palma is operating without passengers, it may be made available for booking, in whichever direction the airline decides.

Your questions about this route
How long does a private jet flight from Geneva to Palma take?
Approximately 1 hours 25 for 790 km. Estimated journey time for a direct flight.
Why is this partnership primarily about repositioning?
Because Geneva and Palma are busy at different times of the year. Aircraft fly between the two regions throughout the year, and these flights are sometimes operated without passengers.
Are there any formalities between Switzerland and Spain?
Switzerland is outside the European Union: a valid identity document is required, and the operator will explain the relevant formalities before the flight.
Can you book a return empty leg?
Each route is advertised separately. An ‘empty leg’ is a one-way flight: the fact that there is a flight available in one direction does not necessarily mean there is one in the other, nor on a date that suits you.
Does the price cover the whole aeroplane or just one seat?
On an empty leg, the price shown is for the flight itself, subject to the number of seats indicated in the offer; passenger taxes are added to this depending on the number of passengers. Shared flights, on the other hand, are booked on a seat-by-seat basis.
Why are there no flights available at the moment?
This is because no airline has published any repositioning flights on this route at the moment. Offers appear according to the airlines’ needs and are withdrawn as soon as they are booked: the alert remains the most reliable way to be notified.
