About two hours and a quarter from Farnborough to Palma in a light jet. Send your dates, times, passengers and luggage, and we compare suitable aircraft and confirm the operator and the total price. Indicative one way from €12,500 for the whole aircraft, in a light jet.

Farnborough to Palma is 719 nautical miles, 827 statute miles. Every jet cabin flies it without a stop, from any of the five London airports, so the choice is about where you start, how many are travelling and how much they bring.
Palma is the only airport on Mallorca that takes jets. It serves the whole island: the old town is about 11 km away by road, Puerto Portals 23 km, Port d'Andratx 44 km and Pollença around 60 km, so where you are staying decides the car at the far end, not the airport.
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.
Our estimated block times, stand to stand; the time in the air is roughly a quarter of an hour less. Winds, routing and the slot on the day move them, and the operator gives its planned time with the quote.
| London airports | Distance to Palma | Light jet | Super-midsize jet |
|---|---|---|---|
| Farnborough, Biggin Hill, London City | 716 to 726 nm, 824 to 836 miles | About 2h 15m | About 2h |
| Luton, Stansted | 747 to 751 nm, 860 to 864 miles | About 2h 20m | About 2h 05m |
Business aircraft use Palma's general aviation terminal, beside the main one, run by two authorised operators, Aviapartner and Mallorcair; every private flight needs a handling agent, who arranges passport and customs formalities for arrivals from outside Schengen. How long they take depends on the day and the passengers, so we do not promise a time. The EU's Entry/Exit System records UK and other non-EU visitors on entry. Son Bonet, the island's other airfield, does not accept jets.
Palma is slot-coordinated all year. From April to September a private flight files its arrival and departure in one request, and is not cleared to land until the slot is confirmed; from June to September an aircraft longer than 20 m may park for up to seven days unless the airport authorises more, and a full apron can mean a drop-off of a few hours only. There is no fixed booking deadline, but for a summer weekend asking early widens the choice of times.
The figures below are our indicative one-way estimates for the whole aircraft, not per seat, from Farnborough to Palma, for an aircraft that is already in London. They are scaled by distance from our London to Ibiza figures, not taken from a quote for a particular date, and they cover the flight, the crew and the fuel.
Landing and handling fees, passenger charges, taxes, positioning, the crew's nights away and anything ordered on board are not included. Those depend on the date, the airports and the aircraft, so the operator's written quote lists each one and gives a single total before you commit.
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 15m | €12,500 |
| Midsize jet | Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP | 7 to 8 | 2h 10m | €15,500 |
| Super-midsize jet | Challenger 350, Citation X+ | 8 to 9 | 2h | €20,000 |
| Heavy jet | Falcon 2000LXS, Challenger 605 | 9 to 12 | 2h | €27,000 |
Figures in euros, one way, indicative, reviewed November 2026. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted.
Seats are the usual range for the cabin; the actual aircraft's layout, and what its hold takes, are confirmed with each option.
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.
Palma is the only airport on Mallorca open to jets, about 8 km east of the city, with two runways and a general aviation terminal beside the main one. It is open around the clock and slot-coordinated all year, and the handler arranges passport and customs formalities for each arrival.
Open 24 hours, customs and immigration included. Slot-coordinated all year; from April to September a private flight files its arrival and departure together, and from June to September aircraft over 20 m long may park for up to seven days unless the airport authorises more.
There is no single best London airport: it depends on where you start, when you want to leave and the aircraft. At the Mallorca end there is one airport, and the drive depends on where you are staying.
| If you start in | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| West London, Surrey and Berkshire | Farnborough (FAB) | Every cabin size; open 7 am to 10 pm on weekdays and 8 am to 8 pm at weekends and bank holidays. |
| The City, Canary Wharf, Kent | Biggin Hill (BQH) | Open 6.30 am to 11 pm on weekdays and 8 am to 10 pm at weekends. |
| The City and Canary Wharf, light and midsize jets | London City (LCY) | Five miles from the City, for aircraft and operators approved for its steep approach. Closed from Saturday lunchtime to Sunday lunchtime. |
| North London, Hertfordshire, late departures and larger cabins | London Luton (LTN) | Licensed around the clock, within night limits, and takes every cabin size; Stansted, further east, is the alternative for the largest. |
| If you are going to | Airport | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Palma, Puerto Portals, Port Adriano and Andratx | Palma de Mallorca (PMI) | About 11 km by road to the old town, 23 km to Puerto Portals and 44 km to Port d'Andratx. |
| Deià, Pollença and Alcúdia | Palma de Mallorca (PMI) | About 37 km to Deià on mountain roads and around 60 km to the north of the island; Son Bonet does not take jets. |
Road distances are approximate. Drive times depend on the hour and the season, so we plan the car around your landing rather than promise a figure. The prices above are for Farnborough to Palma; other pairs are quoted on the same basis.
Choose the cabin by the people and the bags, not the seat count alone. A light jet with five or six seats may not take six people with a week's luggage, golf bags or a pushchair; a midsize jet adds a stand-up aisle and a larger hold. Tell us the number and size of the cases and any unusual items, and we confirm the fit on the actual aircraft before you decide.
Aircraft pages for this route: Embraer Phenom 300, Cessna Citation CJ3 and CJ3+, Cessna Citation XLS+, Cessna Citation X+, Bombardier Challenger 605.
Six passenger seats in most layouts and 65 cu ft of external hold, for a couple or a small group with soft bags; the Phenom 300 has a larger aft hold for suitcases or golf bags.
See the Citation CJ3 guideSeven or eight seats, a stand-up aisle and a hold for a villa party's week of luggage.
See the Citation XLS+Eight to twelve seats for a family with staff or a group that wants to move about. Over 20 m long, they are the aircraft Palma's summer parking limit applies to.
See the Challenger 350Mallorca's private traffic follows the summer and the sailing calendar. From June to September the general aviation apron is at its fullest, and the airport can limit a stay when it is short of space.
The return leaves Palma's general aviation terminal for Farnborough, Biggin Hill, London City, Luton or Stansted in about the same time. From April to September its slot is requested with the outbound. Farnborough closes at 8 pm at weekends, so a late Sunday return may land at Luton or Biggin Hill instead.
Before the flight the operator files the passenger details with UK Border Force, which may clear the arrival remotely or check passports on landing. Most non-British visitors need a UK ETA or a visa; we confirm when we book.
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.
Our indicative one-way estimates start at about €12,500 for a light jet such as a Citation CJ3, €15,500 for a midsize jet, €20,000 for a super-midsize jet and €27,000 for a heavy jet, for the whole aircraft from Farnborough to Palma. They are estimates, not quotes; landing, handling, taxes and any positioning come on top, and the written quote gives the total.
From the aircraft the operator offers and the hours it flies for your trip, including any flying without you on board to position it, then the landing and handling fees, passenger charges and taxes at both airports, the crew's nights away if it waits in Mallorca, and catering or anything else ordered. Each item is listed in the operator's written quote with a single total before you commit.
About two hours and a quarter from Farnborough, Biggin Hill or London City in a light jet, gate to gate, and about two hours in a super-midsize jet; Luton and Stansted add about five minutes. The time in the air is roughly a quarter of an hour less, and winds and routing change it on the day.
The one that suits where you start and when you leave. Farnborough suits west London and Surrey but closes at 8 pm at weekends; Biggin Hill and London City are closest to the City, and London City takes only approved aircraft and closes from Saturday lunchtime to Sunday lunchtime; Luton is licensed around the clock; Stansted suits the largest cabins.
Tell us how many are travelling and the number and size of the suitcases, plus anything like golf bags, a pushchair or a dog. A light jet suits a few people with soft bags; a midsize jet adds a stand-up aisle and a larger hold. We confirm the seats and what the hold takes on the actual aircraft, rather than going by the most seats a type can carry.
Yes. Give us the return date, or say it is still open, and the quote compares the aircraft waiting in Mallorca with two separate one-way flights. From April to September both Palma slots are requested together, and the quote says where the aircraft waits.
You can ask for a change at any time, such as a new time, date, airport or passenger list, and we ask the operator whether it can be done and what it costs. Whether a change or cancellation is charged, and how much, depends on the operator's contract for your flight, which you see before you sign.
Tell us what you have in mind. Our team will take care of the charter arrangements and discuss crypto payment if you prefer.
