Private Jet London to Mallorca (2026) — Prices, Airport & Summer Guide
- 4 days ago
- 4 min read
London to Mallorca is one of Europe's most consistent private jet routes, active from Easter through October and bookable year-round for those heading to the island's quiet winter retreats. In just over two hours from a London private terminal, you are on the ground at Palma and 20 minutes from the old city, the Tramuntana mountains or a superyacht berth in the Port de Sóller. This guide covers the airport, aircraft options and charter prices for 2026.
London to Mallorca — Route Overview
The great-circle distance from London to Palma de Mallorca is approximately 1,700 km (915 nautical miles) — almost identical to the London–Ibiza distance. A light jet covers it nonstop in 2 hours to 2 hours 30 minutes. The return leg is similar in duration. Mallorca is an easy nonstop route for any jet from turboprops upward.
Mallorca Airport — Private Aviation Guide
Palma de Mallorca Airport (LEPA) — Main Gateway
Palma de Mallorca Airport (LEPA) is one of the busiest airports in Spain and handles all aircraft types on a 3,260-metre main runway. Private aviation is processed through dedicated FBO facilities separate from the commercial terminal. Handlers including Mallorca Handling and Swissport provide full private aviation services. The airport is approximately 8 km from central Palma — around 15 minutes by car.
Palma is extremely busy in July and August with commercial traffic. Slot coordination is essential for private jet arrivals during peak summer. Your broker manages this, but early morning or late evening departures from London often encounter less congestion on arrival at Palma.
Son Bonet Aerodrome (LESB) — For Smaller Aircraft
Son Bonet (LESB) is a smaller aerodrome north of Palma, primarily used for general aviation and light aircraft. It is not generally suitable for jet charter from London and is mainly relevant for turboprops and piston aircraft already based in Mallorca.
London Departure Airports
Farnborough (EGLF) — Southwest London, dedicated private terminal, most popular for Balearic routes.
Luton (EGGW) — Large charter fleet, good north London and M1 access.
Northolt (EGWU) — West London military airport with private terminal. Ideal for central and west London clients.
Biggin Hill (EGKB) — Southeast London, quieter, good for Kent and Surrey.
Aircraft Types and Charter Prices London–Mallorca (2026)
All prices are indicative one-way whole-aircraft rates. Palma's 3,260m runway handles all aircraft including heavy jets.
Turboprop — €6,000 to €11,000
A Pilatus PC-12 or King Air 350 flies London–Mallorca nonstop in approximately 2 hours 45 minutes to 3 hours. Seats 6–9 passengers. Good value for smaller groups or families where the journey time difference is less important.
Light Jet — €11,000 to €18,000
The Embraer Phenom 300, Cessna Citation CJ3+ and Pilatus PC-24 fly nonstop in 2h–2h30m, seats 6–8. The most popular category for this route. Fast, efficient, and well-represented in the UK charter fleet. The CJ3+ and Phenom 300 in particular are frequently available at short notice.
Midsize Jet — €17,000 to €26,000
The Cessna Citation XLS, Embraer Legacy 450 or Bombardier Challenger 300 offer a stand-up cabin, greater luggage capacity and more seat comfort for groups of 8–10. Ideal for family groups travelling with bikes, golf bags or substantial summer luggage. Palma handles all midsize jets without restriction.
Heavy Jet — €26,000 to €42,000+
Heavy jets operate fully into Palma's 3,260m runway. Suitable for larger groups of 12–16 or clients requiring a specific aircraft. Also used for positioning flights — for example a client arriving at Mallorca from a long-haul origin who wants to continue in the same aircraft.
Best Time to Visit Mallorca by Private Jet
Easter — the first major spike of the year. Mallorca is a natural spring break destination, especially for UK and northern European clients.
May–June — warm, quieter than high summer, some of the best conditions for cycling in the Tramuntana mountains (a major draw for sports enthusiasts).
July–August — peak season. Palma's beaches and marina are at their liveliest; superyacht traffic peaks. Book aircraft 4–6 weeks ahead.
September–October — arguably the best month. Warm sea, fewer crowds, quieter roads through the Tramuntana, better villa availability.
Empty Legs London–Mallorca
London–Mallorca is one of the most active empty leg corridors in European aviation during summer. The Friday outbound / Sunday return pattern generates frequent mid-week repositioning flights at significantly reduced rates. Ask your broker about current empty leg availability before booking a full charter if your dates are flexible.
