Ibiza runs to two timetables, and private jet charter at Ibiza depends on which one you fall under. Until 31 October 2026 the airport is open 24 hours; from 1 November, instrument flights run 07:30 to 00:00 local time, with an extension on one hour's notice.
The runway is 2,799 metres. Instrument private flights need a slot, and jets cannot fly visual. A handling agent is compulsory. General aviation has its own terminal on its own apron.
Both points are handled before you fly.
Flying privately to Ibiza
Passengers on private flights are normally handled through the general aviation terminal on its own apron, where Aviapartner runs an FBO and Sky Valet also operates. Other listed agents are ExecuJet Airlines, General Aviation Services and Ibizair. Customs operates during airport hours.
Runway 06/24 is 2,799 m by 45 m. In summer, larger aircraft over 18 m in wingspan staying more than three hours need a stand booked first through the handler. Charter-A arranges the slot, stand and handling, and confirms at booking, subject to availability.

Which aircraft?
From London, Ibiza is a sector of about 760 nautical miles — within non-stop reach of every aircraft class, from turboprops and very light jets upwards. The number of passengers and the luggage usually decide the aircraft: light jets for up to seven, midsize jets and super midsize jets for more space, heavy jets for larger groups. Non-stop range always depends on passengers, baggage and the winds on the day.
