Palma de Mallorca to Manchester 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 the late return home possible on this pairing. A written quotation follows inside 30 minutes; +357 95 119759 answers at any hour.
The summer sector between the Balearics and the north of England, flown in about 2 h 24 with no connection and no terminal. Tell us the party and the dates and we will say which aircraft is actually placeable on them.
REQUEST A QUOTEA straightforward midsize sector whose difficulty is entirely seasonal: in August both ends are at their busiest.
Both ends have alternatives, and in August the alternative is sometimes the only thing available.
| Field | Code | Role on this route | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Palma de Mallorca | PMI / LEPA | Departure | Full business aviation handling. In July and August slots and parking are the binding constraint, not the aircraft |
| Manchester | MAN / EGCC | Arrival | Operates around the clock with full business aviation handling, and the field most northern trips actually use |
| Liverpool John Lennon | LPL / EGGP | Alternative arrival | Quieter, quick on the ground, and worth asking about when Manchester handling is full |
| Leeds Bradford | LBA / EGNM | Alternative arrival | Better for Yorkshire; sits at 208 m and can pick up low cloud when the Pennines do |
Operating conditions at both ends change from season to season. We confirm them against your dates rather than against a general rule.
Two and a half hours with luggage puts this squarely in the midsize class. Below that the cabin starts to tell on the way home.
The usual answer on this sector: midsize cabin, stand-up height for most, and enough hold for a family with real summer luggage.
Citation XLS+ →Similar reach with a wider cabin, and frequently the aircraft available when the XLS is not.
Hawker 800XP →Newer cabin, quieter, and the most comfortable of the three over two and a half hours if it can be placed.
Citation Latitude →We do not publish a starting price for this pairing. In the season it is priced by what is physically in the western Mediterranean on your date rather than by a rate card. Below are hourly rates other people publish for midsize jets in Europe.
| Reference | Applies to | Published figure | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Whole aircraft, this route | Palma de Mallorca to Manchester | not published | We hold no route price for this pairing and will not invent one. The written quotation against your dates is the only price |
| Hourly rate, midsize jets | Europe | 4,600 – 9,700 EUR per hour | Broker published range, undated, retrieved 23.08.2026 |
| Hourly rate, from | Europe | from 2,900 – 3,500 EUR per hour | Broker published range, 19.02.2026 |
| Hourly rate, quoted in dollars | Light to midsize | 3,750 – 4,600 USD per hour | Broker published range, August 2026 |
| Empty leg | varies with the day | brokers publish discounts of 50 – 75% | Broker price pages, retrieved 2026 |
The question that moves this price is where the aircraft starts. One already in the Balearics or the north of England prices very differently from one flown in empty to collect you. The second item is parking at the island end in August, where space runs out before aircraft do. And ask what is repositioning your way: this corridor runs hard in both directions through the season, which is why empty legs on it are more realistic than on most.
The figures above are third-party published rates, quoted so you can sanity-check a quotation. They are not our prices and they are not a quotation. The only price we stand behind is the written one against your dates.
A summer leisure route in the strict sense, and the calendar matters more than anything else in the quotation.
| Period | What happens | What to do about it |
|---|---|---|
| June to September | Peak both ends. Slots and parking are the constraints, not aircraft availability | Ask about slots and parking in the first message, not after the aircraft is chosen |
| August Saturdays | The hardest days of the year on this pairing | Fly midweek where the plan allows |
| May and October | Shoulder. Good availability, everything still open | The best value weeks on this route |
| November to April | Thin. Reduced handling and services at the island end | Confirm with us what is open before planning around it |
Where this trip usually continues, and the alternatives we are asked to compare.
Palma, Ibiza and Menorca are minutes apart by air, and a second short sector is often cheaper to add than to book separately.
Ibiza to Nice →A large share of Balearic trips continue east rather than north. Worth quoting at the same time.
Palma to Nice →Ask what is going the other way on your dates. On this corridor it is a real question rather than a polite one.
All routes →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.
