Private jets at Ibiza Airport
Ibiza has a single 2,799-metre runway and a General Aviation Terminal with two authorised FBOs, AviaVIP and Sky Valet. It is open around the clock in summer but has shorter hours from 1 November, and summer brings slot coordination and strict parking rules for larger jets.

Business aviation handling
Passengers and crew can choose to use the General Aviation Terminal, served by the two FBOs authorised by the airport, AviaVIP and Sky Valet (AIP).
AviaVIP (Aviapartner Ibiza FBO)
Authorised FBO inside the General Aviation Terminal. Open 24/7. Two VIP lounges of over 500 m2, crew lounges with showers and two snooze rooms, private meeting room.
Sky Valet Spain (Gestair by Sky Valet Ibiza)
Authorised FBO (AIP). Based in the technical block; three VIP crew areas; 24/7 operations centre.
Worth knowing before you fly
- Parking is the main pressure point in summer. Larger jets (over 18 m wingspan) cannot use the General Aviation apron, and stopovers longer than 3 hours between May and mid-October need an approved stand before the slot is granted. Raise this early for drop-and-wait trips.
- From 1 November the airport closes at night (06:30-23:00, with one more hour on PPR), so late winter arrivals must be timed to the published hours.
- Ibiza is slot-coordinated in summer. Peak weekends fill up, so confirm slots before quoting fixed times.
- In winter, large aircraft needing higher fire cover must give the airport at least 3 days' notice.
