Madrid to Gran Canaria is 1,766 km and about 2 h 40 min in the air. Gran Canaria airport sits on the east coast between Las Palmas and the southern resorts, with two runways of 3,100 m; Barajas has four of 3,500 to 4,350 m. Neither end restricts business jets, and a light jet flies the distance without stopping, which is the class the floor is built on: EUR 7,733 one way for the whole aircraft.

Two hours forty from the capital to Gran Canaria, on an aircraft that leaves when you are ready rather than when the timetable says.
REQUEST A QUOTEThe shortest of the capital-to-Canaries sectors on this site, by about 58 km against Tenerife. Two long runways at the island end mean the conversation is about cabin size and timing, not about what the airport will accept.
Airport codes and runway lengths: OurAirports open data (airports and runways), retrieved 3 October 2026. Whether a particular aeroplane can be offered is confirmed against the specific type and the specific day rather than against a general rule, and we say so before a booking rather than after it.
Two airports that leave the aircraft open, which turns the conversation to the party, the luggage and the date.
| Field | Codes | Role on this route | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Madrid Barajas | MAD / LEMD | Departure | Four runways of 3,500 to 4,350 m. No limit on the aircraft and the usual departure point for business flights out of the capital. |
| Gran Canaria | LPA / GCLP | Arrival | Two runways of 3,100 m on the east coast, roughly halfway between Las Palmas and the southern resorts. Any business jet can land here. |
The airports leave the choice open, so it comes down to how many of you travel and how much you carry. The floor uses the light-jet class, which manages 1,766 km non-stop.
Four to six passengers and a cheaper hour than larger types, when the party is small and the luggage is light.
Citation CJ2 ›The light-jet class the floor is built on, with seven seats and the range for the sector.
Phenom 300 ›A super-midsize cabin for a party of eight or nine that wants room for close to three hours; quoted on request.
Challenger 350 ›From €7 733 one way, whole aircraft, on the light jet class. That is our own floor and not a quotation: 160 minutes in the air, which is longer than the two-hour minimum, so the minimum does not apply: 160 ÷ 60 × 2,900 EUR/h – the published "from" rate for the light-jet class (Eurosky, 19.02.2026) – = 7,733.33, rounded down. The sum is printed so you can check it.
The floor is time on the clock and a rate for a class of aeroplane; it is not a price for the Madrid to Gran Canaria city pair, and we have not found a published figure for that pair from a source we would reprint. What it leaves out is everything that varies: the date, the aeroplane genuinely available on it, and the fees at each end.

The figure moves with the day and with the aeroplane available on it, and with the fees at both airports. On a sector of this length the return plan matters as well: an aircraft that stays on Gran Canaria for a few days is priced differently from one that flies back empty.
Every hourly figure above belongs to a third party, describes a class of aeroplane rather than this sector, and is reproduced so that you can audit a quotation. None of them is our price and none of them is an offer. The only price we stand behind is the written one against your dates. Call +357 95 119759, 24/7.
