Airports on the route

Ibiza Airport is the island’s only air link and is very busy during the high season. In the UK, Farnborough, Luton and Biggin Hill are the most frequently used business airports. The airport is specified on each quote.

For what sort of journeys?

Use is strictly for personal purposes: summer holidays, group trips and private events. As an empty leg flight has a fixed date and timetable, it is particularly suited to travellers with flexible itineraries.

Seasonality and availability

It is one of the most seasonal routes in the network: outside the summer months, there are virtually no services. The alert is the only realistic way to monitor it for the rest of the year.

Why are there empty legs between London and Ibiza?

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.

Your questions about this route

How long does a private jet flight from London to Ibiza take?

Approximately 2 h 10 for 1390 km. An indicative estimate based on the UK airport of departure.

Are there any flights outside the summer season?

Very few. The service operates in line with the island’s tourist season; outside this period, flights between these two destinations are rare.

What formalities are required when travelling from the United Kingdom to Spain?

The United Kingdom is no longer part of the European Union: document checks and customs formalities apply. The operator will explain the requirements to you before departure.

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.
