Manchester to Palma de Mallorca is 1,581 km, about 2 h 24 in the air on a midsize jet such as a Citation XLS+, Hawker 800XP or Citation Latitude. Manchester operates around the clock, which is what makes an early start – or a late return home – possible on this pairing. Indicative price from €10 800. A written quotation follows inside 30 minutes; +357 95 119759 answers at any hour.
Two and a half hours south to the largest of the Balearics, from a field that never closes to an island that in August is at full stretch. Since Brexit this is a full border crossing – minutes at a business terminal, but minutes that want your passenger details early. Whole aircraft, single seats and empty legs, arranged 24/7.
REQUEST A QUOTEA summer sector with an easy northern end and a busy southern one. Manchester operates around the clock with full business-aviation handling – the gateway for Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Liverpool, Leeds and the roads to the Lakes – so the hour you leave is yours. Palma is much the larger Balearic airport, with room on the ground when Ibiza has none, and in the peak weeks it is busy in its own right: 17,504 business-aviation movements in 2023.
One departure open whenever you are, one arrival with genuine capacity, and two rows that exist because the Balearics are more than one island.
| Airport | Codes | Distance | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Manchester | MAN / EGCC | 1,581 km | Where the sector starts, and the field every figure on this page is measured from. Around the clock with full business-aviation handling, and the gateway for Greater Manchester, Cheshire, Liverpool, Leeds and the roads to the Lakes. |
| Liverpool John Lennon | LPL / EGGP | departure alternative | Quieter and quick on the ground, and the better start for Merseyside and the Wirral. Proposed when the drive genuinely favours it rather than automatically. |
| Palma de Mallorca | PMI / LEPA | arrival | The default and the field every figure here is measured to. Much the larger Balearic airport, with room on the ground when the smaller islands have none, and busy in its own right through the summer – 17,504 business-aviation movements in 2023 (EBAA 2023). |
| Ibiza | IBZ / LEIB | if the island is different | A separate island and a separate sector, not an alternative arrival. If Ibiza is where you are actually going, we quote Manchester to Ibiza directly rather than landing you on Mallorca with a boat to catch. |

Sixteen hundred kilometres with a full cabin is midsize work. Below it you are trading people or luggage for the saving, and at the start of a family holiday neither is usually available to trade.
The default: a Citation XLS+, a Hawker 800XP or a Citation Latitude. Non-stop with everybody and the luggage, and a cabin that makes two and a half hours an easy morning.
See the fleet ›For a small party travelling light, and a real saving when it fits. We will name the limit before you choose rather than after.
See the fleet ›For a larger group, bulky equipment, or when the trip continues along the Mediterranean rather than ending on the island.
See the fleet ›Indicative price from €10 800 for the whole aircraft, one way – a floor for a sensible aircraft on an ordinary day rather than a figure for the first Saturday of the school holidays.
The cabin moves it most, and positioning comes next: the north of England is not where the summer Mediterranean fleet lives, so the aeroplane usually travels to reach you. Palma helps here in a way the smaller islands do not – it has real capacity, so the arrival end adds far less pressure than an Ibiza or a Mykonos would.
Where it comes down: book the return as one trip, avoid the two changeover Saturdays at each end of the holidays, and ask about empty legs, which cluster northbound as the season closes.
GET A FIRM PRICEJune to September, with the sharpest peaks at the beginning and end of the school holidays. Outside the season this is an easy sector at short notice in both directions.
Book early for those two changeover weekends and send passenger details with the booking – since Brexit this is a border crossing and the document side wants more notice than a European internal flight. Otherwise Palma's capacity means the arrival is rarely the constraint.
Use the Manchester end. Because the airport is open around the clock, an early departure or a late return is genuinely available here, and both are usually easier and cheaper than the middle of a Saturday.
The Balearics and the Spanish coast are short sectors from Palma, and the second leg is easier arranged with the first.
The return leg, and the half most parties book at the same time. Booking both usually costs less than two separate one-way flights.
Palma to Manchester ›The short hop between the islands, and the usual answer when the holiday takes in both rather than one.
Palma to Ibiza ›Back to the mainland in well under an hour, and a common continuation when the island was the first half of the trip.
Palma to Barcelona ›Tell us your dates and how many of you there are. Your dedicated flight advisor will come back with aircraft options and a firm price.
