About two hours and twenty minutes from Farnborough or Luton to Ibiza's private terminal, ten minutes from the town and the marina. From June to September the slot decides when you land, so we file it with the flight. Indicative one way from €13,000 for the whole aircraft, in a light jet.
Bank transfer or cryptoPriced in euros for this route.
Farnborough to Ibiza is 864 miles, about two hours and twenty minutes in a light jet and a little over two hours in anything larger. Every cabin class flies it without a stop, from any of the five London airports.
Ibiza has one airport, ten minutes from Ibiza Town and the marina and twenty-five from Santa Eulària, with border control inside the private terminal. Formentera has no airport; it is a short boat ride from the marina.
What makes this route different from the other short hops out of London is the summer. From June to September, arrivals, departures and overnight parking at Ibiza are slot-controlled and allocated weeks ahead. The aircraft is rarely the constraint; the slot and a place to park are.
Which London airport to leave from is set out in our guide to the private jet airports in London: FBOs, customs and curfews, side by side.
In July and August, Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons are the slots that go first, and the fortnight around 15 August is the busiest of the year. A mid-week arrival is often possible at short notice; a Friday evening in August is not. We request the arrival and the return slot when we book the outbound.
Overnight parking on the island is the scarcest thing of all. For a stay of more than a day, the aircraft usually drops you, flies to Palma or Valencia, twenty-five to thirty-five minutes away, and comes back for the return. That repositioning is quoted with the flight, so the price you sign is the price you pay.
Outside the season, from October to May, the airport is quiet, a same-day flight is usually possible, and the aircraft can wait on the ramp.
The prices below are indicative one-way estimates for the whole aircraft, not per seat, from Farnborough to Ibiza. They include the flight, the crew and the fuel for an aircraft that is already in London.
They do not include landing and handling fees, taxes, or the summer repositioning to Palma or Valencia. Those depend on the date, the airports and the aircraft, so the written quote lists each one and gives a single total before you commit.
For a weekend or a longer stay, the quote prices the aircraft waiting off the island and two separate one-way flights, so you can compare the two.
The hourly rate for each cabin, and what moves a quote up or down, are in our guide to private jet charter costs.
| Cabin | Typical aircraft | Seats | Flight time | Indicative one way, from |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Light jet | Citation CJ3, Phenom 300 | 6 to 7 | 2h 20m | €13,000 |
| Midsize jet | Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP | 8 | 2h 15m | €16,000 |
| Super-midsize jet | Challenger 350, Citation X+ | 8 to 9 | 2h 05m | €21,000 |
| Heavy jet | Falcon 2000LXS, Challenger 605 | 9 to 12 | 2h 05m | €28,000 |
Figures in euros, one way, indicative, reviewed November 2026. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted.
Light and midsize jets can leave from London City where the aircraft and the operator hold its specific approval; heavier cabins from Farnborough, Luton, Biggin Hill or Stansted. VIP airliners are better landed at Palma.
London has more private airports than any other city in Europe. The choice comes down to where you start, how late you want to leave, and how large the aircraft is.
Private jet airports in London compared: FBOs, customs and curfews
The UK's only dedicated business aviation airport. Open 7 am to 10 pm on weekdays and 8 am to 8 pm at weekends, so a late flight means Luton or Stansted.
Open around the clock, with a slot for every flight; night slots are rationed to the quietest aircraft. Takes large cabins.
Six-minute helicopter to Battersea. Open 6.30 am to 11 pm on weekdays, 8 am to 10 pm at weekends.
The closest runway to the centre. Only aircraft certified for its 5.5° approach may use it, and it closes overnight and from 12.30 pm on Saturday to 12.30 pm on Sunday.
The longest runway around London, so the usual home for Boeing and Airbus business jets. Open around the clock by slot, with restricted nights.
Ibiza has one airport, ten minutes from the town and the marina, with private terminals at the eastern end of the field. From June to September arrivals and parking are slot-controlled and allocated weeks ahead; Palma and Valencia are the diversions when the island is full.
Flying private to Ibiza from anywhere: airports, aircraft and prices
Customs and immigration in the private terminal, open around the clock in summer. Slot-controlled from June to September with overnight parking the scarcest thing on the island; the aircraft often drops and repositions to Palma or Valencia.
The Balearic hub with a long runway and far more parking than Ibiza. Where the aircraft waits when Ibiza's ramp is full, and a sensible landing point for VIP airliners.
Choose the London airport by where you start and how late you leave. At the Ibiza end there is one airport, and Palma when the island is full.
| If you start in | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Mayfair, Knightsbridge and west London | Farnborough (FAB) | Under an hour from central London and every cabin size, open 7 am to 10 pm on weekdays and 8 am to 8 pm at weekends. |
| The City and Canary Wharf | London City (LCY) | Five miles from the City, for light and midsize jets where the aircraft and the operator hold its specific approval. Closed from Saturday lunchtime to Sunday lunchtime. |
| The City in a larger cabin, Kent and south-east London | Biggin Hill (BQH) | Under fifty minutes to central London, open until 11 pm on weekdays. |
| North London, Hertfordshire and late departures | London Luton (LTN) | Open around the clock, so an evening departure after work still reaches the island before midnight. |
| If you are going to | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Ibiza Town, the marina and Talamanca | Ibiza (IBZ) | Ten minutes by car, with border control inside the private terminal. |
| Santa Eulària and the north-east | Ibiza (IBZ) | About twenty-five minutes by car. |
| Formentera | Ibiza (IBZ), then by boat | Formentera has no airport. A car to the marina and a boat across, booked with the flight. |
| When Ibiza's slots are gone | Palma de Mallorca (PMI) | A long runway and far more parking, twenty-five minutes from Ibiza by light aircraft or helicopter. |
Drive times depend on the hour and the traffic, so we plan the car around your landing rather than promise a figure. The prices above are for Farnborough to Ibiza; other pairs are quoted on the same basis.
A light jet is the easiest cabin to find a summer slot and a parking space for, and it carries a couple or a small group with their bags in about two hours and twenty minutes. A midsize or super-midsize cabin suits a villa party of eight; a heavy jet suits a family with staff, or a group that wants to stand up and eat on the way.
Aircraft pages for this route: Cessna Citation CJ3 and CJ3+, Hawker 800XP, Cessna Citation X+, Bombardier Challenger 605, Dassault Falcon 2000LXS.
Six or seven seats and about two hours and twenty minutes. A Citation CJ3 or a Phenom 300 from Farnborough, or London City if approved there, for two to four passengers.
See the Phenom 300Eight or nine seats for a villa party, and a hold for a week's luggage. The Citation X+, the fastest jet Cessna has built, covers it in about two hours.
See the Citation X+Nine to twelve seats and a stand-up cabin. A Falcon 2000LXS or Challenger 605 from Farnborough, with the aircraft waiting at Palma for the return.
See the Falcon 2000LXSIbiza's season runs from May to October, and the airport's summer slot programme decides who lands when. Slots and parking are allocated weeks ahead; the aircraft is rarely the problem.
The return leaves Ibiza's private terminal and lands at Farnborough, Biggin Hill, Luton or London City in about two hours and twenty minutes, with UK Border Force inside the FBO. Most nationalities need a UK ETA or a visa; we confirm when we book.
In summer the Sunday afternoon departure slot is the hardest one to find, and Farnborough closes at 8 pm at weekends, so a late Sunday return lands at Luton or Biggin Hill instead.
Flying into London from somewhere else? The airports, aircraft and prices from each city are on our page for private jet charter to London.
Each route has its own page: flight time, the airports at both ends, the aircraft that suit the leg and an indicative price.
Indicative one-way pricing starts at about €13,000 for a light jet such as a Citation CJ3, €16,000 for a midsize jet, €21,000 for a super-midsize jet and €28,000 for a heavy jet, for the whole aircraft from Farnborough to Ibiza. Landing and handling fees, taxes and the summer repositioning to Palma or Valencia are listed in the written quote.
About two hours and twenty minutes from Farnborough in a light jet, and a little over two hours in a super-midsize or heavy jet. Luton and Stansted add a few minutes.
Usually, if you book early and stay flexible on the hour. From June to September arrivals, departures and parking are slot-controlled; mid-week arrivals are far easier than Friday evenings, and the fortnight around 15 August is the hardest. We file both slots with the booking and hold Palma or Valencia as the fallback.
Outside the summer, yes. In July and August overnight parking on the island is rarely available, so the aircraft drops you and waits at Palma or Valencia, twenty-five to thirty-five minutes away, and the repositioning is quoted with the flight.
Formentera has no airport, so the flight lands at Ibiza and a boat takes you across from the marina, ten minutes from the private terminal. We book the car and the boat with the aircraft.
Yes, in the cabin. Entering Spain, a dog or cat needs a microchip, rabies vaccination and an EU health certificate or pet passport. Coming back into Great Britain, dogs also need tapeworm treatment and the operator must be approved for pets at the London airport; we arrange both with the handlers.
