Private jet charter in Murcia

The orchard reaches the ring road in Murcia, and a London jet gets there in about two and a half hours with three quite different trips waiting on the ground: a Baroque city that carries its images through the streets in Holy Week, the golf courses and the shallow lagoon around La Manga, and the Roman harbour of Cartagena half an hour down the motorway. Private Jets UK arranges the charter around whichever of those the trip is really for. 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. We have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you favourable 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. Murcia has two airports on the map and only one that matters: the airline airport at Corvera takes business jets, while the older San Javier field by the lagoon is an air force base. The rest of the planning is about a slot requested a day ahead, a handler that is compulsory, opening hours that end at night and a border check on arrival from Britain.

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 Murcia 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 on this basis: a departure from London Farnborough, a Cessna Citation CJ3+ and two passengers aboard. 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 Murcia?

From Farnborough a light jet takes 2 h 35 min, and Bristol or Cardiff in a Phenom is about ten minutes shorter. From the north of England count on 2 h 45 min or more, and from Edinburgh or Glasgow about 3 hours in a Challenger. Spain keeps Central European time, one hour ahead of Britain, so a departure at eight lands just before noon on the Murcia clock. The sectors run from 821 to 1,137 nautical miles, which is nonstop for every aircraft in the table. Each British field we use has its own line below.

Prices for the private jet flights to Murcia

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all of them into Region of Murcia International Airport with a licensed handler. Holy Week, the week after Easter and the long spring and autumn golf weeks sit above these figures, and the calendar block further down explains when.

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:

Private jet flights from Murcia

Murcia sits in the south-east corner of Spain, so most onward sectors point north or west. Malaga is 182 nautical miles away, Madrid 204, Barcelona 267, the Balearics 140 and 218, and Marrakech 525 across the Alboran Sea. Typical one-way prices:

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:

The cost per hour indicated in the table is preliminary and does not constitute an offer or a commercial offer. Exact prices are available from the managers of the company.

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. NB! - the figures are sent to you by email or messenger, please carefully fill in the contact details to get the calculation.

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

Our database contains over 6,500 business jets (about 3,500 in Europe and 3,000 in the rest of the world) of different configurations and production years. The list of models is constantly updated. Unfortunately, we can't post a full list of available jets on our website due to confidentiality issues. Please contact the managers of the company for more accurate information. We will help you choose a suitable model taking into account your wishes. These are the typical choices for Murcia:

This is a small part of what is available. Aircraft for a Murcia booking often start from Alicante, Valencia, Madrid or Palma rather than from Murcia itself, so for a date outside a holiday week we can usually find one within an hour or two of the airport, and that is often where the better price comes from.

How to book a private jet?

You can book a private jet flight to Murcia in 6 easy steps:

1. Flight request - indicating the route and your preferences for the model of business jet and other points.
2. Coordination of flight details - our consultant will contact you to offer the possible flight options and answer all your questions.
3. Commercial offer - we will send you a final offer on a specific model taking into account all your wishes.
4. Signing of the contract.
5. Payment for the flight and booking a business jet.
6. Departure at the agreed time and date. Assistance during the whole flight.

In addition to renting the private jets and arranging the flights, we provide concierge services, premium transfer, security, exclusive catering, etc. We have learned to solve problems of any complexity, offering the service of the European level. Our experts will be happy to answer your questions and help you arrange your flight.

Business aviation airports in Murcia

One airport is the real answer and three more are worth knowing before a quote arrives with one of them in it. Corvera is the only airport in the region we use for business jets, and it is quiet, has no hangar and sets its own slot rules, so it pays to know what the neighbours offer.

Four points settle most Murcia arrivals:

Border, passport and the way home

The border is a short formality at Corvera, and the handler looks after the arrangements. For a British passport the rules are two: it must have been issued less than ten years before the day you enter, and it must have at least three months left after the day you plan to leave the Schengen area. A stay of up to 90 days in any 180 needs no visa. On a first entry the Entry/Exit System may take a photograph and fingerprints, and an officer can ask for a return ticket, proof of funds and the address of your hotel or villa, so keep that confirmation on your phone.

The way home is where the planning is. Britain is outside Schengen, so passengers go through passport control and customs at the British airfield, and a General Aviation Report must be filed between 48 hours and 2 hours before departure. A mistake is expensive: £2,500 for a first landing at a non-regulated aerodrome and £2,000 for each passenger without permission. We file the report and name the airfield in the booking.

From the apron to the cathedral square

Corvera is in open country between the huerta and the coast, and every journey starts on the motorway. The distances below run from the airport, apart from the ones that need another airport as the starting point.

Where to stay: the hotels clients book

The choice runs between the old streets of Murcia, the waterfront of Cartagena and two golf resorts by the lagoon, and it is worth deciding before the aircraft because the resorts fill up in the golf weeks and the city hotels in Holy Week. The names below come from published guides, and availability should be confirmed before a flight is booked.

Flying to Murcia with a dog or a cat

A dog or a cat copes well with two and a half hours in the air, and on a private flight the animal stays in the cabin with you. Spain is not a difficult country for pets. The risk is the paperwork and its dates, because the health certificate has only a ten-day life.

What Spain asks for on arrival:

• A microchip, implanted before the rabies vaccination or at the same appointment, not afterwards;
• A rabies vaccination given from the age of 12 weeks, followed by a wait of 21 days before the animal enters Spain;
• An Animal Health Certificate signed by an Official Veterinarian. It is valid for ten days for entry to the EU, and for the way back to Britain it is used as the certificate itself states;
• No more than five animals for each traveller, and entry through a travellers' point of entry, which the handler arranges at Corvera;
• A British pet passport does not work for the EU, so every trip needs its own certificate.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide, and our managers confirm the position in writing for your dates before a booking is taken.

The Murcia calendar: winter sun, Holy Week and the spring fiestas

Murcia has a handful of dated peaks and long quiet stretches between them. The dates matter more than the season, because the same week decides the aircraft, the hotel and the table in the old town.

Murcia itself: the cathedral, the Salzillo Museum and the casino

The city was founded in the ninth century by Abd ar-Rahman II as Madinat Mursiyah and now has about 470,000 inhabitants, which makes it the seventh-largest city in Spain. It sits on the Segura river in the middle of the huerta, the fertile plain that gives it the nickname of Europe's orchard. The sights are compact enough for a day on foot.

The cathedral on the Plaza Cardenal Belluga was begun in the late fourteenth century, finished in the following century and given a Baroque main front by the Valencian architect Jaume Bort. Inside it is mostly Gothic, with the Junterones chapel counted among the major works of the Spanish Renaissance. The bell tower is about 90 m high and is described as the tallest in Spain. The heart and entrails of Alfonso X are buried under the main altar, at his own wish, as a gift to the city for its loyalty. On the same square stand the eighteenth-century Bishop's Palace and the town hall extension by Rafael Moneo. In the old centre the Salzillo Museum keeps the work of the eighteenth-century sculptor behind the Holy Week thrones, and on Calle Trapería the Real Casino, a social club of the nineteenth century with a Moorish-style patio. The Malecón, a pedestrian walk on the old flood bank of the river, and the cafes of the Plaza de las Flores finish the circuit.

The huerta on the plate: what to eat in Murcia

Murcia cooks what grows on its own plain, and the dishes are plain too, with a Moorish note in the pastry and the spices.

• Zarangollo. Courgette, onion and potato sauteed and scrambled with egg, usually served as a tapa;
• Michirones. A stew of broad beans with chorizo, bacon and ham on the bone, which in the Cartagena countryside also takes potatoes;
• Pastel de carne. Puff pastry filled with minced beef, chorizo, ham, bacon, peppers and hard-boiled egg, baked until golden and held up as one of the clearest Moorish traces in the local kitchen;
• Marineras. A folded breadstick topped with Russian salad and a salted anchovy, the standard bar snack;
• Caldero del Mar Menor. Rice cooked in a fish stock with the dried red peppers called ñoras, the dish of the lagoon coast, traditionally made with rockfish;
• Paparajotes. Lemon leaves dipped in a light batter, fried and dusted with sugar and cinnamon. The leaves are not eaten.

The wine country is inland: the vineyards of Jumilla, Yecla and Bullas are within an easy day trip from the city. In Spring Fiesta week the stalls serve several of the dishes above, so a table is rarely the hard part.

The Mar Menor and La Manga: lagoon, golf and the sandbar

The Mar Menor is the largest lagoon in Spain, about 135 square kilometres of warm, shallow, salty water that is no deeper than 7 m, with some 70 km of shore. A sandbar called La Manga, about 22 km long and from 100 m to 1,200 m wide, separates it from the Mediterranean, so a town on that strip has a calm beach on one side and an open sea on the other. The lagoon is a Ramsar wetland and a protected bird area, and the salt flats at its northern end are run as a natural park. The water has had its troubles: farm run-off has caused algae and fish die-offs, and the state of the lagoon varies by season, so we suggest checking before planning a day built around the water.

La Manga Club is the reason many private clients come. The resort covers roughly 450 hectares between the lagoon and the Mediterranean, with three 18-hole courses called North, South and West, a five-star hotel, 28 tennis courts, football pitches that national squads have used for training camps, and the Spanish Open golf among its past events. It is about 30 minutes from Corvera and about an hour from Alicante. For a golf party the arithmetic is simple: a light jet on a Friday, tee times on Saturday, and a return on Monday. Our calculation allows for the clubs in the hold and the transfer from the apron to the first tee.

Cabo de Palos and Calblanque: diving and the empty beaches

Cabo de Palos is the lagoon's south-eastern corner, a headland of old volcanic hills with a nineteenth-century lighthouse, and it is one of the best-known diving places in Spain. The marine reserve of Cabo de Palos and the Islas Hormigas protects the water around a group of rocky islets. Recreational diving inside it is allowed only through authorised dive centres and there is a daily quota of divers, so the dives are booked ahead, not on the day. Divers go for the seamounts called Bajo de Dentro and Bajo de Fuera and the Piles pinnacles, for dusky groupers that live there all year and for barracuda schools in summer. Two wrecks draw the others: the Naranjito, a merchant vessel that lies largely intact, and the Italian steamer Sirio, lost near the islets in a disaster of the early twentieth century. Beyond the cape the Calblanque natural park, in the south-east of the municipality of Cartagena, keeps long beaches without hotels.

Cartagena: the Roman theatre, the port and the arsenal

Cartagena is under half an hour from the airport and is the best day out in the region. Hasdrubal refounded the town in the third century BC as a Carthaginian city, and Scipio Africanus took it from Carthage about two decades later and renamed it Carthago Nova. The Roman theatre, built in the time of Augustus for about 6,000 spectators, was rediscovered in the old town and excavated over many years; the museum and the restoration are by Rafael Moneo, and the route climbs from the harbour level through the exhibition rooms up to the stage and the stands. The city is also a Spanish Navy base with a large naval shipyard, and it has the national museum of maritime archaeology, known as Arqva. The Naval Museum holds the submarine of Isaac Peral, a Cartagena man, launched in the nineteenth century. Under Concepción Hill a network of galleries served as air-raid shelters in the Civil War and is now a museum. Cartagena Holy Week is known for its discipline, which reflects the naval tradition, and the September festival re-stages the Punic Wars and the Roman conquest.

The city has about 219,000 inhabitants and is second in size in the region. The A-30 motorway links it to Murcia and passes the airport, which is why many clients treat Cartagena as a lunch stop on the way to La Manga.

Caravaca de la Cruz and Lorca: the two inland towns

Caravaca is the pilgrimage town of the region, about 800 m up in the north-west corner. The basilica of the Vera Cruz, beside a castle that the Templars built in the thirteenth century, keeps the Cross of Caravaca, which Christian tradition holds may be a fragment of the True Cross. The town has held a papal privilege to celebrate a jubilee year every seven years, and is counted as a holy city for Catholics. For clients this is mainly a first-week-of-May trip: the fiestas run from 1 to 5 May, with the Wine Horses on the 2nd and the Moors and Christians on the 4th, and a day outside the festival is calm. Allow about an hour from Corvera by car.

Lorca, about 70 km south-west of the airport, is the town of the blue and white Holy Week brotherhoods, who compete with richly embroidered cloaks, some up to 5 m long. It has a Baroque old town with the Palacio de Guevara and the collegiate church of San Patricio on the Plaza de España, a castle on the hill that goes back to the Moorish period and a Roman milepost from the reign of Augustus on Calle de la Corredera, the trace of the Roman settlement of Eliocroca. Together with Murcia it makes a tight three-day Holy Week itinerary for anyone who wants to see two different traditions.

Which base: Murcia, La Manga or Cartagena

Choose the base before the aircraft, because the bases are half an hour or more apart and attract different parties.

• La Manga Club. A resort in its own right, about 30 minutes from the airport. The right base for golf groups, tennis and families who want everything on one site, and the one where the weeks matter most;
• Murcia city. Baroque squares, tapas and Holy Week, about 25 minutes from the airport. The right base for a long weekend about food and sightseeing, and for the Spring Fiestas;
• Cartagena. Roman remains and the harbour, 30 km from the airport, with the beaches of Calblanque inside the same municipality;
• Cabo de Palos. A village at the cape with a lighthouse, the base for divers who want to be at the dive centre by morning.

Ways to bring the Murcia price down

• Avoid the week of Easter and the Cartagena festival where you can. Mid-week in January, February and November is calm, the weather is mild and the hotels have rooms;
• Ask where the aircraft is based. A jet already in Alicante, Valencia or Madrid needs less positioning than one coming from Britain, and on a sector of this length positioning is a real share of the bill;
• Take the light jet unless the luggage says otherwise. Four people and four bags do not need a midsize, and the money saved buys the extra round of golf.

Types of flights

Murcia produces a different mix from Marbella or Ibiza. It is a place to play golf, to dive, to eat and to see processions, and the bookings reflect it.

• Golf weekends and week-long breaks at La Manga Club, flown out on a Thursday or Friday and back at the start of the week;
• Winter stays of several weeks, when the aircraft is booked for the arrival and the departure only;
• Holy Week in Murcia, often combined with Lorca;
• Cartagena culture breaks, built around the Roman theatre and the September festival;
• Diving trips to Cabo de Palos, with cases of equipment in the hold;
• Training camps and team travel, using the resort pitches and courts;
• Day trips from London, which at about two and a half hours each way make a long but workable day for Murcia cathedral and a late lunch.

The day trip deserves a closer look. A same-day return means the aircraft and crew wait for you rather than going home, and the waiting is paid for, but it comes out cheaper than two separate one-way charters. The catch is the airport day: the return must leave inside the published hours, and we plan the evening departure well within them so that a long dinner does not decide the outcome.

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. On the Murcia corridor they follow the pattern of holidays and golf weeks, and it helps to know what produces them.

Because the Murcia corridor is thinner than the busiest London routes, a client who can name a few days rather than one has a far better chance than one who needs a particular evening. What you give up is the usual: the operator owns the date and the hour, and a leg can vanish when the original booking moves. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page, and we flag a Murcia match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

In Murcia a helicopter is a tool for the edges of the trip. The city is a short drive from the airport, and the journeys where rotary flight changes the day are the ones to a resort or a hotel on the lagoon, and the low scenic flight along the sandbar, the cape and the coast of Calblanque.

The machines used in this region are the Airbus H125 for short coastal work, the wider H130 for scenic and resort transfers, the Bell 429 where a twin is wanted and the H155 for larger parties. We book them alongside the jet so that both crews work to one timetable.
