The eastbound leg off the island, flown nonstop with one aircraft and one crew and nothing in between. Getting airborne is what Palma decides - in high summer that means a slot and a handling window. Almost everything after the wheels stop is decided in Dubai, and mostly by which of its two airports you land at.
REQUEST A QUOTEPalma recorded 17,504 business-aviation movements in 2023, inside the EBAA top fifty; those tables cover Europe only, so nothing comparable exists for the far end and this page prints no invented substitute. The sector itself is easy to describe. 5,113 km is out of reach for every midsize cabin and routine for a long-range one, which is why three aeroplanes appear below instead of a dozen. Flown eastbound it also has a little margin in hand, because the upper winds over Europe and the Middle East blow predominantly from the west and this direction normally carries them behind it rather than ahead.
The departure is fixed and the arrival is not, which is the reverse of most island routes on this site. Palma is one airport and one queue, shared in high summer with a great deal of package traffic. Dubai has two fields open to business jets, and which of them you land at is settled by published rules rather than by anyone's preference - so that is where this page spends its length.
| Airport | Codes | Role | What that means for you |
|---|---|---|---|
| Palma de Mallorca | PMI / LEPA | Departure | Where the trip starts and the point every distance here is measured from - 17,504 business-aviation movements in 2023, inside the EBAA top fifty. It is also one of the largest holiday airports in Europe, so in the peak weeks what limits your departure is the slot and the handling window rather than the aeroplane. Agree the hour with us when you book, and say whether it can move by one. |
| Dubai International | DXB / OMDB | Arrival | Where the sector ends and the field all the figures on this page are calculated to, because it is the arrival recorded for this route in our own route data. Business aviation is handled away from the scheduled concourses with customs and immigration available at any hour, so landing in the small hours - which an evening departure off the island tends to produce - is a scheduling matter rather than an operational one. If a different field in the emirates is nearer where you are actually going, say so and we will quote it as its own sector instead of reprinting these numbers against it. |
Codes and coordinates come from the OurAirports open dataset, retrieved 23 August 2026. The distances are calculated great-circle. Movement counts are EBAA 2023 as published by Private Jet Card Comparisons, 4 June 2024.
Business jets may use either of Dubai's two airports. The figures on this page belong to Dubai International, which is where we quote unless a reason appears to do otherwise. The alternative is Al Maktoum International, DWC / OMDW, sited twenty nautical miles to the south-west of the city. It runs twenty-four hours a day, clears customs and immigration on its own account, and its runway is 4,500 m - laid out for aeroplanes several sizes above anything in the shortlist below.
The choice belongs to two published rules rather than to us. Slot coordination is the first. Dubai International carries level 3, the designation used where demand for a schedule outruns what an airport is able to absorb, and nothing moves there without an allocated slot; Al Maktoum carries level 2, where the slot is a matter of agreement rather than of rationing. Ground time is the second, and over a stay longer than a day it usually decides on its own. The conditions of use published by Dubai Airports oblige a business jet standing at Dubai International past twenty-four hours to be shifted across to Al Maktoum. So unless the aeroplane flies on somewhere without you, take it that it will spend your visit at Al Maktoum and that the journey home begins from there.
For the sector itself the choice is immaterial and can be treated as such: ninety seconds of cruise separate the two fields, which vanishes inside the tolerance of a modelled time. For the drive afterwards it is not immaterial at all. Al Maktoum is the shorter run to Dubai Marina and Palm Jumeirah and the longer one to Downtown and the financial district; at Dubai International the pairs swap over. Send us the address you are actually going to and the answer you get back will be whichever field puts you at the door earliest, not whichever one looks better printed on a page.

At 5,113 km range writes the shortlist and everything else follows from it. A midsize cabin will not cross nonstop, and a technical stop turns not quite seven hours into a ten-hour day with a fuel uplift at an airport nobody chose. All three types below manage it in one leg, and eastbound they do it with the wind normally helping rather than hindering. If the summer is finished and the household is coming off the island with you, give us the volume of luggage as well as the number of passengers - in this direction the hold has been known to choose the aeroplane.
Thirteen to nineteen passengers on our fleet page, and the first type we put forward when the party is large or when the same aircraft is to bring everybody back to the island later in the season. Over 5,113 km it has range to spare, which is what lets a full cabin and a full hold travel together instead of trading against one another.
See the Gulfstream G550 ›Thirteen to fourteen passengers on our fleet page, in a cabin quieter than that seat count implies. The type asked for when the seven hours eastbound are meant to be a working afternoon or a night's sleep. The cabin communications fit varies aircraft by aircraft rather than by type, so ask about the individual aeroplane.
See the Global 5000 ›Thirteen to sixteen passengers. Three engines rather than two, which some passengers weigh across the length of the Mediterranean and the desert beyond it while others never think of it. It also uses shorter runways than the other two - no advantage at either end of this sector, and a real one if the trip continues somewhere smaller after Dubai.
See the Falcon 7X ›All three are in our own fleet, each with a page to itself, and the seat counts quoted here are read off those pages rather than out of a manufacturer's brochure.

No published price for Palma de Mallorca to Dubai has reached us from a source we would be willing to reprint, so the figure above is a floor and not a quotation. What sets the real number on an eastbound sector of this length is set out below.
Seven hours in the air makes the flying the bill. The landing and handling charges that decide a short hop between the islands are almost irrelevant here; what counts is the hourly cost of the aircraft, the crew duty day and the positioning legs at each end. The first question is therefore where the aeroplane starts, and this route has an unusual property: its two ends are busy in opposite halves of the year, the Mediterranean from June to September and the Gulf from November to March. So the honest answer to "where is a suitable long-range jet standing" changes with the month rather than with the route. Through the summer it is more likely to be in Europe already, which helps this direction; in the Gulf season it is more likely to be waiting at the far end, which does not. The second question is the shape of the return. If you are back inside a few days, keeping the aircraft and crew with you in Dubai is often cheaper than buying two separate one-way sectors, because it saves a positioning leg at both ends rather than one - with the twenty-four hour ground rule above folded in, which in practice means the aeroplane spends the visit at Al Maktoum. Send the whole itinerary rather than the outbound date on its own.
Published market rates for long-range jets in Europe run from about 8,500 EUR an hour at the bottom of the published range to 20,100 EUR an hour at the top; dollar-quoted sources put the same class at 12,000 to 17,000 USD an hour. Those are published market rates collected from broker price pages in August 2026, not our rates, and they are shown only so that you have something to measure a quotation against.
Read from the departure end, the island's calendar describes how hard it is to get out rather than how much demand there is for the seat, and the Gulf's calendar describes what is waiting at the other end. The two seasons rarely coincide, which on this pairing is more help than hindrance.
| Period | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| May | The island has opened, the weather has turned and the airport is still calm, while the Gulf season is winding down. Eastbound departures at this time of year are frequently flown by aircraft that have finished their winter work at the far end and come north. | The easiest month of the year to arrange in this direction. A week or two of notice is normally plenty. |
| June to September | The Mediterranean season proper, and on a Saturday morning at Palma a business jet is a small aeroplane in a very large queue - which on a departure is felt as a slot rather than as a delay. Against that, the long-range fleet is on this side of the world in these months, so the aircraft is usually the easy half of the problem. | Two to three weeks out for a weekend. Ask us to price a weekday departure alongside it; the difference in both time and money is real. |
| August | The tightest weeks at the departure end, and the end of the month the tightest of all. Slots and handling windows run out rather than aeroplanes, and a party that reaches the terminal late can lose a slot instead of an hour. | Six to eight weeks out for the last fortnight. Give us a firm departure hour and tell us whether it can move by one - that flexibility is often worth more than anything else you can offer. |
| October to April | The island empties and the fleet repositions away for the winter. Inside this window is the Gulf season, November to March, which is when demand at the arrival end is at its highest and an eastbound long-range aircraft is worth most on landing. | Book the Gulf-season weeks four to six weeks out. Outside them this is the best part of the year for an eastbound empty leg - give us a flexible week and we will watch the repositioning traffic for you. |
Seasonality for this pairing comes from our own route research file for diamond.aero, which classifies each published route by its demand window, together with the seasonal windows already published on our Palma de Mallorca and Dubai route pages. Movement counts are EBAA 2023 as published by Private Jet Card Comparisons, 4 June 2024.
This sector is very rarely bought by itself. With the outbound fixed, the conversation turns to the way back to the island, and to what the aeroplane does with the days in between.
The westbound half of the pair, over the same 5,113 km on the same class of aircraft. If the return is already dated, ask for both legs at once rather than one after the other.
Dubai to Palma de Mallorca ›On a trip of a few days it is frequently cheaper to keep the aircraft and crew with you than to buy two separate one-ways. We will price it both ways round and show you the difference instead of choosing for you.
Ask for both prices ›Between the Gulf season and the Mediterranean one there is a steady flow of long-range aircraft repositioning in both directions. If your dates can move, that flow is worth asking about.
Current empty legs ›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.
