Private Jet Paris–Ibiza: Prices, Flight Time, Airports & Curfew (2026 Guide)
Prices, flight time, airports (LBG, IBZ), night-time curfew, slot management in July-August and Palma alternatives on the busiest route of the Mediterranean summer.
TL;DR — A private jet from Paris to Ibiza typically costs between €12,000 and €32,000 one-way depending on the aircraft category, for a flight of around 2h to 2h15. Le Bourget (LBG) on the Paris side, Ibiza (IBZ) on the Balearic side. This route is extremely seasonal (May–September) with heavy pressure on IBZ slots in July–August.
How much does a private jet from Paris to Ibiza cost?
Market ranges observed in early 2026:
| Category | Passengers | Indicative one-way price |
|---|---|---|
| Very Light Jet (Phenom 100) | 3-4 | €9,000 – €14,000 |
| Light Jet (Citation CJ4, Phenom 300) | 6-8 | €12,000 – €18,000 |
| Midsize Jet (Citation XLS+, Praetor 500) | 7-9 | €16,000 – €24,000 |
| Heavy Jet (Falcon 2000, Challenger 650) | 10-14 | €22,000 – €32,000 |
High-season prices (14 July – 20 August) can exceed these ranges by 15 to 30% due to pressure on IBZ slots and the difficulty of repositioning aircraft.
Which airports serve a Paris–Ibiza flight?
On the Paris side: Le Bourget (LBG) — the historic reference point, with the best FBO slot availability.
On the Ibiza side: Ibiza (IBZ) is the only option — there is no alternative FBO on the island. In cases of extreme saturation in August, some operators offer Palma de Mallorca (PMI) plus a helicopter or boat transfer to Ibiza (30-45 min).
Slots and curfew in Ibiza
IBZ enforces a night-time curfew (approximately 11pm – 7am local time, with limited exceptions) and a movement quota during high season. In practice:
- Arrivals after 11pm are blocked barring exceptional dispensation — a Paris–Ibiza flight must depart LBG by around 8.30pm at the latest.
- Slots must be coordinated in advance, particularly from July to mid-August.
- A 30-minute delay at departure can mean losing the arrival slot — FBO punctuality is critical.
Private jet vs commercial flight
- Private jet — 2h to 2h15 flight time, plus 15-30 minutes of FBO access on each side.
- Commercial flight (Air France, Iberia, Vueling) — 2h10 flight time, but often with a connection via Barcelona or Madrid outside season; 3h30 to 5h door-to-door in practice.
The gap is mainly felt in group comfort (family, seminar), non-standard baggage (boards, equipment), and direct access to the island without the summer queue at IBZ's commercial terminal.
Typical use cases
- Family/friends group — the calculation becomes favourable from 6-8 passengers compared with business-class tickets.
- Private events — birthdays, weddings, villa seminars in Cala Jondal, Es Cavallet.
- Ibiza → Formentera connection — arrival at IBZ followed by a helicopter or yacht shuttle (30-45 min).
- Return empty legs — Sundays and Monday mornings in high season offer interesting opportunities (departure from Ibiza to Paris/Geneva/Zurich).

Around 2h to 2h15 of actual flight time, excluding FBO access.
