Ibiza to Zurich in about 1 h 49 on a light or midsize jet. The Swiss-based fleet that flies the Alps in winter flies the Balearics in summer, which is why this pairing throws off more empty legs than most. Arranged 24/7.
REQUEST A QUOTEThis route has two peaks in one year, which is rare. December to March is the Alpine season at the Zurich end, June to September the Mediterranean season at the Ibiza end. EBAA counted 25,866 business-aviation movements at Zurich in 2023 and 14,383 at Ibiza: a large hub at one end, and at the other a small island field that absorbs a whole season in about ten weeks.
These two airports have almost nothing in common. Zurich is a scheduled hub with a night curfew where business aviation is a minority tenant. Ibiza is a small island field that handles a full European season in about ten weeks, and in those weeks it is the ground, not the air, that runs out first.
| Airport | Codes | Distance | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ibiza | IBZ / LEIB | 1,117 km | The arrival, and the constraint. Through the summer the binding limits here are the arrival slot and the overnight parking stand rather than the supply of aircraft. Tell us your arrival time and we will confirm the handling window. |
| Zurich | ZRH / LSZH | arrival | The departure for the city, the lake and the Swiss finance and pharma belt. Slot coordinated and subject to a night curfew, so an evening departure is confirmed in advance rather than assumed. |
| Palma de Mallorca | PMI / LEPA | arrival alternative | Not an alternative arrival, a parking solution. When Ibiza has no overnight stand the aircraft sets you down and repositions, then comes back for you. It is routine in August and it belongs in the quotation, not in a surprise. |

At 1,117 km this sits at the top of the light jet band and the bottom of the midsize one, which is why the fleet on it is mixed. About 1 h 49 in the air. In July, when the party is travelling with a summer's worth of luggage, the step up to a midsize cabin is a hold decision rather than a range one.
The light jet that covers this sector comfortably. It is also the type most likely to be sitting in Switzerland already in the winter half of the year, which matters for what the positioning leg costs you.
See the Phenom 300 ›A stand-up midsize cabin, and the usual choice for a family or a group going out for a week. Close to two hours in the air is long enough for the extra cabin height to be noticed.
See the Citation XLS+ ›The step up when the luggage rather than the party is the problem. A full galley, a separate lavatory and the hold volume for a long Balearic stay.
See the Hawker 800XP ›All three types are on our own fleet pages. Heavier cabins can be arranged on this sector too.

There is no published price for Ibiza to Zurich that would survive contact with a real booking, so the figure above is a floor rather than a quotation. The honest answer is that this route is priced by the calendar more than by the distance: the identical flight is a different product in February and in the first week of August.
The rates quoted publicly are hourly rates for the aircraft class. Brokers publish EUR 4,600 to 9,700 per hour for European light and midsize jets, others quote from EUR 2,900 to 3,500 per hour and others publish USD 3,750 to 4,600 per hour, all retrieved in 2026. Use them to sanity-check a quotation, not to build one. A 1 h 49 sector priced off an hourly rate ignores the crew day, the landing and handling at both ends and, in season, the parking.
The dominant variable on this pairing is where the aircraft sleeps. If it can be released after setting you down, the price is one thing. If Ibiza has no overnight stand and the aircraft must reposition and return, that is a second and a third sector to pay for. This is also the route where it pays to ask about the opposite direction, because the seasonal swing between the Alps and the Balearics leaves aircraft flying home empty. Send us the dates and we will quote against them.
Most routes have one season. This one has two, at opposite ends of the year and at opposite ends of the route: the Alpine winter at Zurich and the Mediterranean summer at Ibiza. The quiet months in between are where the value on this pairing sits.
| Period | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| December to March | The Alpine peak. Traffic at the Zurich end is heavy, but it is going up into the mountains rather than out to the Balearics, so the aircraft are in Switzerland while the island end of the route is close to dormant. | The cheapest time of year to fly this sector, and the likeliest time to be offered a southbound repositioning leg. |
| April to May | The changeover. Ibiza is opening up, the season has not begun, and the Swiss fleet is starting to move south for the summer. | Excellent value and easy availability. If your dates are flexible, this is the window to ask about empty legs going south. |
| June to September | The Mediterranean peak, and the ten weeks in which Ibiza is genuinely full. Arrival slots and overnight parking are rationed long before aircraft are. | Four to six weeks out for a July or August weekend, and give us your arrival time early so that the handling window can be confirmed. |
| October to November | The island empties as fast as it filled, and the fleet turns back towards the Alps for the winter. | Northbound empty legs appear in this window. A good moment to book Ibiza to Zurich rather than the other way round. |
Ibiza is rarely the last stop. Formentera has no airport of its own, so everybody going there arrives through Ibiza first, and Mallorca is a short hop across the water on the same aircraft.
