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 for an empty leg are already set by the operator. Passengers therefore book an existing flight, with less flexibility. As a result, the price is lower than that of a bespoke charter. MarketJet brings together the offers published by its partner operators so that they can all be viewed in one place.
On the route from Geneva to Palma de Mallorca
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 operated without passengers, it may be made available for booking, in whichever direction the operator decides.

Your questions about this route
How long does a private jet flight from Geneva to Palma take?
Approximately 1 h 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 set out the relevant formalities before the flight.
Can an empty leg be booked in both directions?
Each direction is published separately. An empty leg is a one-way flight: the presence of an offer in one direction does not mean there is one in the other, nor on the date that suits you.
Does the price cover the whole aircraft or just one seat?
On an empty leg, the price shown is for the flight itself, subject to the number of seats specified in the offer; passenger taxes are added to this depending on the number of travellers. Shared flights, on the other hand, are booked seat by seat.
Why are there no flights available at the moment?
This is because no operator has published a repositioning on this route at the moment. Offers appear according to operators’ needs and are withdrawn as soon as they are booked: an alert remains the most reliable way to be notified.
