Paris–Palma de Mallorca by private jet: airports, distance and journey time

Distances and journey times are provided for guidance only. The airport, flight time and timetables depend on the published offer and operational conditions.

Airports on the route

Palma de Mallorca Airport serves the whole island and handles business aviation all year round. In Paris, Le Bourget handles the majority of flights, ahead of Orly. The departure and arrival airport is specified on each offer.

For what sort of journeys?

The aircraft is mainly used for private purposes — holidays, leisure flying and private residences — with some business travel relating to the island’s property and boating sectors. As the date of an empty leg remains fixed, it is suitable for flexible holidays.

Seasonality and availability

The tourist season in Mallorca is long, running from spring to early autumn, and the island maintains a level of business air travel during the winter, unlike other Mediterranean destinations. This extends the period during which a promotion can be published, although this is not guaranteed.

Why are there empty legs between Paris 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.

On the route from Paris to Palma de Mallorca

Flights associated with holiday travel to the islands regularly result in aircraft needing to be repositioned from one side of the Mediterranean to the other. When one of these flights operates between Paris and Palma without passengers, it may be opened for booking. The route depends on the airline’s requirements, not on a fixed schedule.

Your questions about this route

How long does a private jet flight from Paris to Palma take?

Approximately 1 hours 45 for 1050 km. This is an approximate duration, depending on the aircraft and the route.

Does the service run outside the summer season?

Mallorca maintains a business aviation sector outside the summer months, albeit on a smaller scale. As a result, flights are less frequent, though not particularly scarce.

Is it possible to fly to Ibiza from Palma on an empty leg?

Inter-island routes are not included in the routes published to date. The general search allows you to view all the flights that are actually available.

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.
