Charter a private jet to Spain from any UK airport
Private Jets UK arranges private jet charters from Britain into Spain, from the Basque coast to the Canaries, and between the Spanish cities once you are there. Our customers have access to 6,500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. For 15 years of successful work, we have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you the most favorable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. The aircraft we put on Spanish routes sit mostly at Farnborough, Luton and Biggin Hill, with a summer contingent based in Palma and Malaga that shortens the positioning legs in season.
At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter in Spain depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.
You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:
- using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
- via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
- by landline or cell phone;
- via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).
Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated based on the following data: departure from London Farnborough Airport, a Citation XLS+, two passengers. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.
How long does it take to fly to Spain?
Spain covers a lot of ground, so the answer depends on which part of it you are heading for. These are the sectors from London, timed gate to gate:
546 nautical miles, the shortest crossing into Spain and the gateway to San Sebastian and Riojaabout 1 h 40 min
669 nautical miles, and the same again to Girona for the Costa Bravaabout 1 h 50 min
725 nautical miles into Barajas, fifteen to twenty minutes from the centreabout 2 hours
781 and 815 nautical miles, with the Balearic season running May to October2 h 05 to 2 h 15
935 to 967 nautical miles, covering Marbella, Sotogrande and Andalusia2 h 20 to 2 h 30
about 1,700 nautical miles, which is beyond a light jet and a different exercise altogetherabout 4 h 15 min
From the north of Britain add roughly half an hour
Edinburgh sits 966 nautical miles from Madrid against 725 from Luton, and Aberdeen a little over a thousand. That difference is about forty minutes in the air on most cabins, and it also shifts which aircraft makes sense: a light jet that handles London to Madrid comfortably starts to look tight from Aberdeen to Malaga with a full cabin. We check the pairing against the actual departure point rather than quoting a national average.
The exact flight time depends on the model of the business jet, as well as the speed of the tail or head wind. Our consultant will make a detailed calculation of the flight time for the chosen business jet.

Two things worth knowing about these figures
– Spain is a long country. Bilbao sits 546 nautical miles from Luton and Malaga 967, so the northern coast and the Costa del Sol are the better part of two hours apart in the air. The Canaries are further again at about 1,700 nautical miles, which puts them beyond a light jet;
– July and August carry a premium on the Balearics and the Costa del Sol that the mainland cities do not. The same cabin into Madrid in August frequently costs less than into Ibiza, because inland Spain empties while the coast fills.
Private jet flights within Spain and to the islands
A good share of Spanish private jet bookings are internal legs rather than arrivals from Britain: a board moving between Madrid and Barcelona, a family joining a yacht in the Balearics, a group heading south to Seville for a long weekend. These are the domestic sectors we quote most often:
| Route | Aircraft | Flight time | Price, one way |
|---|---|---|---|
| Madrid - Zaragoza 140 nm / 259 km |
Pilatus PC-12 NGX up to 9 |
about 50 min | from £3,100 |

about 45 min | from £4,850 |
| Madrid - Bilbao 179 nm / 332 km |

about 1 h | from £6,800 |
| Madrid - Palma de Mallorca 307 nm / 569 km |
Citation XLS+ up to 9 |
about 1 h 05 min | from £6,800 |
| Madrid - Tenerife 1,024 nm / 1,896 km |
Legacy 650 up to 13 |
about 2 h 40 min | from £24,150 |
Two things worth knowing about the domestic sectors
– Mainland Spain is compact by air. Nothing between Madrid and the coasts runs much over an hour, so handling and crew time carry more of the figure than the miles do. The Canaries are the exception, sitting almost a thousand nautical miles out into the Atlantic, with Las Palmas a short hop beyond Tenerife;
– Because so much summer traffic runs one way, aircraft return north empty in the other. That produces a steady supply of empty legs out of the Balearics and Andalusia from June onwards, and it feeds the smaller fields too, so a leg into Alicante, Murcia, Almeria or Zaragoza is worth asking about alongside the obvious ones.
We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries. Due to a large database of available business jets, we can help you find an optimal jet and crew. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, you can ask them using the form below:
Prices depending on the type of business jet
We can clearly show the high dependence of the cost of the flight, on the type of aircraft - we have collected approximate data, at the price of 1 flight hour, for various types of business jets:
Online Calculator
If you want to make an urgent calculation of the cost of a private plane flight, use our online calculator. Just fill in all the fields of the form with a note that you are interested in a specific model of the aircraft and get the final price.

All our calculations are as transparent as possible for you. After receiving the request, we will prepare a beautiful offer - where the costs and the final price will be clearly described. The exact price is agreed in advance and is written in the contract, so you can be sure of the final cost.
Private jets are ready to take off
Turboprops
For the short internal legs and the smaller fields such as Sabadell. About an hour between Madrid and most of the coasts, where the hourly saving outweighs the extra minutes in the air.
Light jets
The workhorses of the Madrid and Barcelona corridors and comfortable on any mainland sector from Britain. The class with the deepest availability outside the August peak.
Super-midsize
Where a family travels for a fortnight on Mallorca or Ibiza, or a board comes down together. The hold is what decides it: two weeks of luggage for eight needs this class rather than a light jet.
Heavy jets
For a delegation, a race weekend group, or the Canary sectors where the distance from Britain approaches seventeen hundred nautical miles and cabin comfort starts to matter.
Ultra-long range
Uncommon within Europe and generally the first leg of something longer, where Spain is a stop before the Atlantic or the Gulf. Madrid and Barcelona handle these without restriction.

Business aviation airports in Spain
Spain runs one of the largest private jet markets in Europe, with tens of thousands of business aviation movements a year. Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga and Palma carry the bulk of it, with several more fields behind them, and each behaves differently on the ground:
| Airport | Ground transfer | How it operates |
|---|---|---|
| Madrid Barajas MAD / LEMD |
15 - 20 min to the centre | Four runways, open around the clock and the only Madrid airport serving business aviation since Torrejon closed to general aviation. Slots are required but the general aviation parking is generous and rarely runs short, even in peak weeks |
| Barcelona El Prat BCN / LEBL |
20 - 25 min to the centre | A 24-hour airport of entry with no curfew for modern aircraft. Slots are required for every movement and departure tolerance under the collaborative system is zero, so the flight plan and the slot have to match exactly. Parking is usually plentiful |
| Malaga AGP / LEMG |
25 min to Marbella | One of the busiest general aviation terminals in Spain and the gateway to Marbella and the Costa del Sol. Overnight parking fills through the summer, so the aircraft often drops and repositions rather than waiting on the apron |
| Palma de Mallorca PMI / LEPA |
20 min to the centre | A purpose-built business aviation terminal on Mallorca and one of the heaviest private traffic loads in Europe. Slot congestion is a daily fact of summer rather than an exception, which is what makes early dates matter here |
| Ibiza IBZ / LEIB |
15 min to the town | Less dedicated infrastructure than Palma, and demand on Ibiza concentrates into July and August weekends. Slot coordination well ahead is what makes an Ibiza arrival work |
| Valencia VLC / LEVC |
15 min to the centre | Quieter than Barcelona with straightforward handling, and the practical entry for Valencia, the Costa Blanca and the interior of the region |
| Tenerife South TFS / GCTS |
20 min to the resorts | The Tenerife gateway to the Canaries, almost a thousand nautical miles beyond mainland Spain and a different flight-planning exercise altogether |
| Sabadell QSA / LELL |
30 min to Barcelona | A general aviation field north of Barcelona for light aircraft and turboprops, useful when El Prat slots are tight and the party is small |
Four things shape a Spanish arrival, whichever airport you choose:
Parking decides the plan
Madrid and Barcelona hold enough general aviation parking for an aircraft to wait through a two-day trip. Malaga, Palma and Ibiza run out in high summer, so the aeroplane leaves and comes back for the return, which costs two extra sectors. On a Balearic or Costa del Sol booking we settle this first.
Slots and opening hours
Slots are required at all the major airports and the handling agent arranges them. Madrid and Barcelona operate around the clock, while the island and coastal fields vary. At Barcelona the departure tolerance is zero, so the flight plan and the slot must match exactly.
Border and turnarounds
Spain is in the EU and Schengen, so British passports are checked on arrival at the terminal. Quick turnarounds of 25 to 45 minutes are normal at Spanish fields. Airside guards are generally not permitted, and airports rely on their own patrols.
Peak season
On the Mediterranean the peak runs from May to October. Madrid is busiest in July and over the New Year period. Palma has slot congestion every summer day, and Ibiza demand gathers into July and August weekends, so early dates matter most at the islands.
Two Grands Prix, and what they do to the ramps
Spain has two Formula One weekends on its race calendar, one in Catalonia and one in Madrid, and both move private aircraft in volume:
The September race is the date to book early for
Madring sits inside the IFEMA exhibition grounds, a few minutes from Barajas, which makes the airport unusually convenient for a race weekend and unusually busy because of it. The round falls right after the summer break, in a run of races on successive weekends, so operators are moving aircraft across Europe at the same time. Handling fees rise and slots compete. Clients who came to us in the spring had the weekend arranged without difficulty; the same request in late August is a different conversation, and that pattern repeats every year on both Spanish rounds.
Flying to Spain with a dog or a cat
Spain is among the simplest private jet destinations we fly with an animal. It sits inside the European Union and is listed for the return to Britain, so nothing here runs to the months that unlisted countries demand.
The one fact to read before you book
Because Spain is a listed country, the journey home needs no rabies blood test and no waiting period. What it does need is an Animal Health Certificate issued in Britain within ten days of travel, and that document then covers return trips for six months. Owners who fly to Spain several times a season get the certificate once and use it repeatedly, which is worth knowing before paying for a new one each trip. The tapeworm treatment applies to dogs only and only on the way home, given by a Spanish vet between one and five days before departure.
- An ISO-standard microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination rather than after;
- Rabies vaccination at least 21 days old on the day you land, with the animal at least 12 weeks old when it was given;
- An Animal Health Certificate from an Official Veterinarian, dated no more than ten days before entering the EU;
- Tapeworm treatment for dogs on the return leg only, recorded with the date and the product;
- Up to five animals per booking without commercial documentation.
Cats need the same paperwork as dogs but skip the tapeworm step entirely, which makes a Spanish trip with a cat the simpler of the two. Where the difference shows is on the ground rather than in the air: a cat in a familiar carrier settles quickly on a two-hour sector, while a large dog benefits from the cabin floor and the space a charter gives it. Neither faces a weight limit, and neither goes anywhere near a hold.
practices near Madrid, Barcelona, Malaga and Palma handle charter clients regularly, and we book the return appointment with the flightnot on the field

Requirements for birds, rabbits and the less common species, along with the countries where the timeline runs to months rather than days, are set out on our flying with pets guide.
Empty Legs
Another way to fly cheaper is to use Empty Legs. This service allows you to save on regular charter rates. As you know, part of the flights is one-way (for example, when the passenger flies from England to Spain). After the flight, the jet returns to its home base (for example, to London Farnborough airport) empty. Such flight is called "Empty Legs". Empty leg flights can be as cheap as 50-75% off the standard charter price. This option is profitable for both the passengers and the charter companies. The clients can enjoy the services of business aviation at a very good price, while the airlines recoup part of the cost of fuel and jet maintenance.
It is almost impossible to find Empty Leg flights, as the information about them is stored in special databases available only to the aviation brokers and specialized companies. You should know that Empty Leg flights offer the same service as private jet charters. The passengers enjoy a 100% private jet flying experience. Services and flight conditions are discussed individually. We should note that our company cooperates with the world's largest home bases, so we can offer our clients a wide choice of return flights. Just send a request to our manager who will help you find the best flight options. Please note that Empty Leg flights are sold out very quickly. To avoid such a problem, you can leave us a deposit, and we will contact you as soon as the flight of your choice becomes available. For additional information, check with the operators.
A selection of empty legs that have passed through our books on the Spanish routes. Dates are left off, since a leg lasts only until somebody takes it:
| Route | Aircraft | Capacity | Whole aircraft |
|---|---|---|---|
| UK (London Biggin Hill) - Spain (Barcelona) | Cessna Citation M2 | 7 seats | £3,550 |
| Spain (Ibiza) - UK (London Luton) | Cessna Citation Mustang | 4 seats | £4,400 |
| Spain (Palma de Mallorca) - UK (Farnborough) | Cessna Citation CJ3+ | 7 seats | £4,400 |
| UK (Manchester) - Spain (Alicante) | Embraer Phenom 300E | 8 seats | £5,350 |
| UK (Farnborough) - Spain (Madrid) | Bombardier Challenger 350 | 9 seats | £6,300 |
| Spain (Malaga) - UK (London Luton) | Cessna Citation XLS+ | 9 seats | £6,750 |
| Spain (Tenerife) - UK (London Stansted) | Embraer Legacy 650 | 13 seats | £15,800 |
How to read those figures
– Each price is for the whole aircraft rather than per seat. A Legacy 650 at £15,800 carrying thirteen works out just over twelve hundred a head for a four-hour crossing to the Canaries;
– Set each line beside the same class in the price tables above. A Citation XLS+ out of Malaga at £6,750 against £16,100 for a fresh charter is the saving in plain terms;
– Northbound legs cluster from September as the summer fleet returns, and southbound ones in May and June as it arrives. Registering a window with us catches more of them than watching a page.
Helicopter charter
Helicopters earn their place alongside the private jet on the coasts and the islands, where a road that looks short on the map takes an hour in August. These are the legs we arrange most:
the smaller island has no airport at all, so this or the ferry is the whole choiceabout 10 minutes
Deia, Valldemossa and the north-west coast, where the mountain road is slow by designabout 15 minutes
against an hour or more on the coast road through the summer traffic15 to 20 minutes
Begur, Cadaques and the northern coves, a three-hour drive at the wrong time of day20 to 30 minutes
the shooting country south and west of the capital, poorly served by road25 to 45 minutes
The machines that work these routes
– Airbus H125 and Bell 407, the light singles behind most villa and estate transfers. Five or six seats and precise into a confined site, which is what the Tramuntana and the Costa Brava need;
– Airbus H130 for a family or a group of six, quieter in the cabin and roomier, and the type most often used on the Balearic hops;
– Airbus H135 and H145 where twin engines are wanted over water, which on the Ibiza to Formentera crossing and the island connections is what many clients ask for.
Two points on Spanish rotary legs
– Villa and hotel pads are licensed individually and want agreeing days in advance. Where the destination is private ground we start that process when the booking is made;
– Summer thermals over the Tramuntana and the Sierra Nevada make afternoon flying uncomfortable rather than impossible, so morning slots are the ones worth asking for.

What our clients say about flying to Spain
A few words from people who have made these trips with us. First names only, and the wording is theirs.
FAMILY HOLIDAY
"Everything perfect, start to finish"
Luton to Malaga · Citation XLS+ · Beth
"Just back from Marbella. Everything perfect. The pre-flight organisation was the most efficient part, with every email answered by return. The crew were extremely friendly with the children. Thanks to Merryl and to the whole team."
BUSINESS
"Transparent quote, proper follow-up"
Biggin Hill to Barcelona · Citation XLS+ · Daniel
"Clear, timely and proactive communication from the first enquiry right through to a follow-up call after we landed. The quote set out the aircraft, the operator and the cancellation terms up front, so I knew exactly what I was choosing. Aircraft and crew excellent both ways."
WITH CHILDREN
"They kept me updated from abroad"
Manchester to Palma de Mallorca · Praetor 600 · Robert
"I booked the flight for my wife and children and was not travelling myself. It turned out to be quite a day: a winter storm at Manchester, my wife delayed on the motorway, de-icing, and both kids full of cold. The team kept me updated the whole time even though I was abroad. They landed safely, and that is what you pay a broker for."
GOLF
"Busy dates, still ahead of schedule"
Cardiff to Malaga · Citation XLS+ · Alan
"What began as a straightforward request became rather more complex, as finding the right aircraft over the May bank holiday was a task in itself. They came back with several options, the clubs travelled with us, and we actually landed ahead of schedule."
FIRST TIME
"An honest review of a very good trip"
Bristol to Ibiza · Citation CJ2 · Josh
"Our first private flight. To be honest about it: the CJ2 is listed as having a toilet, but it is more of an emergency arrangement than anything you would plan around, and the tray table was a little loose. I mention this so the review does not read like an advert, because everything else was excellent. The pilots were great and we left and landed to the minute. There is really not much not to like about flying privately."
EMPTY LEG
"Last-minute empty leg, great price"
Ibiza to Luton · Citation Mustang · Clara
"We took a last-minute empty leg at a great price. The reception at the private terminal in Ibiza was charming, we departed on time, the flight was cosy and the pilots were super friendly. Happy with my choice."
Frequently asked questions about flying to Spain
1How long does it take to fly to Spain by private jet?
About two hours from London to Madrid or Barcelona, two and a quarter to Palma and two and a half to Malaga. From Manchester or Edinburgh add roughly half an hour. Tenerife and Gran Canaria are the exception at a little over four hours, since the Canaries sit close to seventeen hundred nautical miles from Britain.
2How much does a private jet to Spain cost?
From about £9,700 one way from Bristol to Madrid on a light jet and £16,100 from Luton to Malaga on a midsize cabin. Internal Spanish legs start lower: Madrid to Valencia from £4,850 and Madrid to Barcelona from £6,800. The Canaries and the Balearic peak weeks sit well above those figures.
3Which airports in Spain do private jets use?
Madrid Barajas and Barcelona El Prat carry the mainland traffic, both operating around the clock with slots arranged by the handling agent. Malaga serves Marbella and the Costa del Sol, Palma and Ibiza the Balearics, and Tenerife South the Canaries. Sabadell near Barcelona takes light aircraft when El Prat is tight.
4Do British passport holders need a visa for Spain?
No visa is required for short visits, and the border formality happens on arrival at the terminal rather than before departure. Spain is in the Schengen area, so the stay counts against the ninety days in any hundred and eighty that applies across the zone. Our managers confirm the current position for your dates as part of the booking.
5When is the busiest time for private flights to Spain?
July and August on the Balearics and the Costa del Sol, where slots and overnight parking both run short. Madrid peaks differently, in July and again over the New Year. This season Spain also hosts two Formula One rounds, at Barcelona in June and on the new Madrid circuit in September, and both weekends want booking months rather than weeks ahead.
