Ireland to the Balearics in one hop, with no change at a hub and no early-morning drive to catch someone else’s departure wave. Whole aircraft, single seats and empty legs.
REQUEST A QUOTEThis is a long-ish midsize sector rather than a European hop: 1,720 km down the western edge of the continent, out over the Irish Sea and the Bay of Biscay, across Spain and into the Balearics. The aeroplane is rarely the difficulty. What decides a summer booking on this pairing is the far end, because Ibiza is a single-runway island airport whose apron fills before its airspace does. From Dublin the aircraft is almost always positioned rather than based, so the earlier you tell us the dates the wider the choice of cabin.
At the Dublin end there is one obvious answer and two that earn their place on particular mornings. At the Ibiza end there is one runway and, in high summer, a genuine question about whether your aircraft can stay on the ground while you are on the island.
| Airport | Codes | Great-circle to Ibiza | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dublin | DUB / EIDW | 1,720 km | The default and the field every figure on this page is measured from. Business aviation is handled away from the scheduled terminals, so the walk from car to aircraft steps is short even in a busy August week. Dublin logged 7,559 business-aviation movements in 2023, which makes it a modest but genuine base rather than a field where an aircraft happens to be sitting. |
| Cork | ORK / EICK | 1,632 km | The shortest sector of the three, by about ninety kilometres, and the right departure if you are starting in Cork, Kerry or west Waterford. Ninety kilometres is roughly seven minutes in the air, so choose it for the drive rather than for the saving. |
| Shannon | SNN / EINN | 1,729 km | Effectively the same sector length as Dublin. It suits Limerick, Galway and the mid-west, and it has long runways and quiet ground handling, which makes an awkward-hour departure easier to arrange than at Dublin. |
| Ibiza | IBZ / LEIB | arrival | Where the sector ends. One runway, a compact business-aviation apron and, between mid-June and mid-September, more aircraft wanting to be there than there is room for. Ibiza recorded 14,383 business-aviation movements in 2023 — roughly double Dublin’s, on an island of 570 square kilometres. |
| Palma de Mallorca | PMI / LEPA | 1,687 km from Dublin | The Balearic alternative, marginally the shorter sector, and worth naming when Ibiza cannot take the aircraft on your dates. It is a separate island, so this is a real change of plan rather than a change of airport — but for a party willing to take the ferry or a short hop it has kept trips alive in August. |

At 1,720 km this sits above the comfortable light-jet band and squarely in midsize territory. All three types below cross it non-stop with a full cabin, and on a summer trip to the Balearics the question that actually matters is not range but hold volume — a week on an island is not a day return with a briefcase.
Seven to eight passengers in a stand-up cabin with a 2.55 cubic metre hold, which is the largest of the three relative to its size. The commonest answer on this sector and usually the quickest to arrange, because there are more of them available across Europe in July than of anything else in the class.
See the Cessna Citation XLS+ ›Six to eight passengers, full galley and a separate lavatory. Its 5,463 km of range is far more than this sector needs, and that margin is exactly why it is the type to ask for when Ibiza is one stop in a longer Mediterranean week rather than the destination.
See the Hawker 800XP ›Nine passengers in the tallest cabin of the three, with a flat floor you can stand up and walk down. The one to name when the party is large, travelling together and spending two and a half hours in each other’s company.
See the Cessna Citation Latitude ›All three types have their own pages in our fleet. Larger cabins — Legacy 650, Challenger 605 — fly this sector too, and in high summer availability rather than preference sometimes decides which class you get.

We have found no published route price for Dublin to Ibiza from a source we would be willing to reprint, so the figure above is a floor worked out from published midsize hourly rates and the flight time on this page, rounded down. It is not a quotation and it is not our tariff.
On a two-and-a-half-hour sector the hourly cost of the aircraft is the bulk of the bill, but two other things move the number more than most people expect. The first is positioning. There is no fleet of midsize jets parked in Dublin waiting for Balearic charters, so the aircraft usually flies in to collect you, and where it starts from is a real component of the price rather than an administrative detail. The second is the shape of the trip. If you are back inside a week in July, asking whether the aircraft should wait at Ibiza is not a sensible question — there is often nowhere for it to wait — so it will reposition, and booking both legs in the same conversation lets us plan that once instead of twice.
The third thing, and the one specific to this island, is ground handling. In the peak weeks the landing fee is trivial next to what it costs to hold a parking stand, and on some dates the stand simply is not available at any price. That is not a negotiating position; it is the reason we ask for your dates before we talk about aircraft types.

This is a seasonal route in the strict sense: outside the summer there is very little traffic in either direction, and inside it there is more demand than the island has room for. That makes the calendar unusually decisive here compared with the business pairings elsewhere on this site.
| Period | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Mid-June to mid-September | The peak. Ibiza’s apron fills, parking stands are allocated well in advance, and the airport works to slot restrictions that have nothing to do with how quickly your aircraft can be ready. Weekend arrivals and Sunday and Monday departures are the hardest of all. | Four to six weeks for a weekend, and book the return in the same conversation. What you are securing is ground capacity at Ibiza, not an aeroplane. |
| May and October | Warm, open and far cheaper. The island still works, the apron is not full, and a midsize cabin can usually be placed at a week’s notice. | One to two weeks. These are the best-value weeks of the year on this pairing by a clear margin. |
| Irish bank holiday weekends | The June and August holiday weekends concentrate Irish demand into three or four days, which collides with the busiest part of the Ibiza calendar. | Treat them like peak weekends and commit early. The days either side are considerably easier than the obvious ones. |
| November to April | Close to dormant in this direction. Some traffic runs for property and business reasons, and it is easy to place. | Short notice is realistic. If your dates are flexible, ask about empty legs rather than a dedicated charter. |

Ibiza is small and well connected to the rest of the western Mediterranean, and for a number of parties it is the first stop of a longer summer rather than the whole trip.
Palma is 1,687 km from Dublin against Ibiza’s 1,720 km, so if the two islands are interchangeable for you, say so early — on a difficult August date that flexibility is worth more than any aircraft preference.
Ibiza and Palma ›Ibiza to Nice is a short hop and one of the commonest second legs of a Balearic week. It is a route we publish and one that regularly appears as an empty leg.
Ibiza to Nice ›Ibiza to London is the busiest single corridor out of the island, which is precisely why empty legs appear on it so often in both directions.
