Ibiza to Nice in about an hour and twenty minutes, straight across the western Mediterranean. The sector that joins the Riviera to the Balearics inside a single holiday rather than at either end of one.
REQUEST A QUOTEThis is a route with no business case at all and a very strong leisure one. Nobody commutes between Ibiza and Nice; people move between them because a boat is in one place and a villa in the other, because guests are joining or leaving a charter, or because a fortnight in the Mediterranean is being spent in two halves. Nice recorded 37,425 business-aviation movements in 2023 and Ibiza 14,383 - but Nice spreads its year across twelve months and Ibiza compresses almost all of its into four, which is why this pairing effectively exists only between May and October.
Both ends are single obvious airports, but on the French side there is a second option that is worth knowing if your party is already west of Nice.
| Airport | Codes | Great-circle to Ibiza | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ibiza | IBZ / LEIB | 722 km | One runway, shared in summer with very heavy scheduled traffic. Business aviation is handled separately, but the slot and the ramp parking are not separate - and in August they are the constraint. |
| Nice Cote d'Azur | NCE / LFMN | arrival | Europe's second busiest business-aviation airport. The default departure, with the deepest choice of aircraft on the Riviera and a business terminal separate from the scheduled ones. |
| Cannes Mandelieu | CEQ / LFMD | 698 km | Twenty-four kilometres west of Nice and marginally the shorter flight. Right if you are already on the Croisette or in the Golfe-Juan marinas. It accepts business jets up to a certain size, so tell us the party and we will say whether it works. |

At 722 km this is a light-to-midsize sector over water. The distance is undemanding; what usually sizes the aircraft is a summer party's luggage rather than the crossing.
Six to eight passengers with a 2.27 cubic metre hold and 3,650 km of range. Ample for the crossing and the type most likely to be free at Nice at a day's notice in July.
See the Embraer Phenom 300 ›Seven to eight passengers, stand-up cabin, 2.55 cubic metres of hold. The right aircraft when the party is moving properly - villa luggage, not weekend bags.
See the Cessna Citation XLS+ ›Six to eight passengers with a full galley and separate lavatory. Worth the step up for a group that is going to eat and drink its way across the Mediterranean rather than simply sit through it.
See the Hawker 800XP ›All three types are on our own fleet pages. Larger cabins fly this sector too - our own published Ibiza examples include a Legacy 650 and a Citation Bravo.

We have found no published price for Ibiza to Nice from a source we would be willing to reprint, so treat the figure above as a floor rather than a quotation. Here is what determines the number instead.
Almost everything about the price of this sector comes down to where the aircraft is before you get on it and where it has to be afterwards. In August neither Nice nor Ibiza has ramp space to spare, so an aircraft that flies you across is very unlikely to sit and wait; it will either turn round with somebody else on board or reposition empty. That is why the same crossing can be quoted two very different ways in the same week, and why we always ask what you are doing after you land rather than only where you are going. The second factor is the day: Friday and Sunday are the movements everybody wants, and a Tuesday crossing in the same week is a different market. The third is the boat - if the flight has to meet a departure time from a marina, say so at the enquiry stage, because the slot has to be built around it and slots at both these airports are finite in high summer.
Two of the most seasonal airports in Europe, joined by one sector. This route is awake for about five months a year and asleep for the other seven.
| Period | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| May and October | The shoulders. Both islands and the coast are open, neither airport is full, and aircraft are being positioned into or out of the Mediterranean anyway. | A week is enough, and this is where the empty legs are. |
| June and September | Full season without the peak congestion, and the two months EUROCONTROL's analysis identifies as the genuine annual peaks of European business flying. | Two weeks for a weekend crossing. |
| July and August | Maximum pressure at both ends simultaneously. Ramp parking, not aircraft, is what runs out. | Four weeks or more, and ask what the aircraft does after it lands - it is part of the price. |
| November to April | Ibiza closes and the sector effectively stops. Nice keeps working all year, but not in this direction. | If you need it, short notice is entirely realistic. |
