Palma has two parallel runways, of 3,270 and 3,000 metres, and private jet charter at Palma de Mallorca can use either for any size of business jet.
Private passengers are normally handled through the dedicated general aviation terminal. A handling agent is compulsory, and every private flight between 1 April and 30 September needs a slot.
Charter-A requests the slot, appoints the handler and confirms at booking. Because summer brings extra rules, Charter-A checks your dates against them before it quotes anything.
Flying privately to Palma de Mallorca
The general aviation terminal has its own apron. The approved FBOs include Aviapartner, Mallorcair and Sky Valet, with General Aviation Service, Jetland Executive Services and Meléndez also listed as ramp agents.
From 1 June to 30 September, aircraft over 20 m in wingspan may stay a maximum of seven days, and if the apron is full only a three-hour stop can be coordinated. Charter-A checks these limits against your plan, arranges the slot, and confirms at booking, subject to availability.
