Badajoz serves Extremadura's border country, and private jet charter at Badajoz is shaped by the fact that the field is also a military air base. Civil operations run from 08:30 to 20:15 local time, daily, and military training periods may apply.
The runway is 2,852 metres long, so aircraft size is seldom a restriction. The limit is the clock: extending civil hours needs airport approval.
Charter-A plans the flight inside the civil window, checks with the airport where hours must change, and confirms the outcome at booking. Charter-A will tell you plainly if a date looks tight, well before you commit.
