Private aviation · Madrid 2026
Charter to Madrid— on your hours, not an airline’s.
Most brokers quote a number, bury the markup, and won’t name the operator until your card is down. Not here. Tell me where you’re flying, when, and how many — I come back with two or three real, named quotes within the day.
Written by one person
Every recommendation, every season — the work of one editor, held to a single standard.
Chosen on merit
Each venue earns its place on the strength of what it is. The grid below is editor's pick.
Verified every season
Prices, openings, residencies and rooms checked before the season starts.
Independent — paid placements clearly labelled
Top-of-page placement is paid and named on the page. The rest is editor's pick.
How it works
Three steps. A quote within 24 hours.
Tell me the trip
Origin airport, destination, date and time window, party size, and the specifics that matter — pets, oversize luggage, a helicopter transfer at either end, catering requests.
Two or three real quotes within 24 hours
Each option named: the operator, the aircraft (tail number on request), the all-in price, what's included and what isn't. No “from”, no opaque broker fee, no aircraft-category hand-waving.
Confirm and fly
Deposit paid direct to the operator, the balance on standard charter terms. I stay in the loop if anything moves — weather, slots, ground transfer — but you hold the operator's number from day one.

Transparency
The operator relationship, in plain English.
I’m not an aircraft operator. I’m a curator who works with a small number of EASA-licensed operators across Europe. When you inquire, I source quotes from the operators best placed for your specific trip — empty-leg pricing where it aligns, charter pricing where it doesn’t.
My fee is a flat introduction commission paid by the operator, disclosed up front on every quote. You pay the operator directly. The price you see is the price you pay.
If a competing broker quotes less for the same aircraft, same operator, same dates — I’ll match it or recheck the operator’s direct rate and refund the difference.
Boundaries
What this isn’t.
- Not a jet card. No annual prepayment, no membership tier, no committed hours. Charter on request, per trip.
- Not an aircraft owner. I sit between you and the operator. The operator holds the AOC and owns or manages the aircraft.
- Not the cheapest quote on the internet. Empty-leg aggregators can be cheaper if you’ll take whatever shows up. Use me when you want a confirmed aircraft, a named operator, and a number that holds.
FAQ
What people actually ask.
- How early should I inquire about a private jet charter?
- Two to four weeks ahead is comfortable in season. A week ahead is fine for a straightforward trip. 48 hours is doable but narrows the operator list and the pricing.
- How much does a private jet charter cost?
- A light jet for a 2-hour European hop is typically €15,000–25,000 all-in; a midsize for the same trip €20,000–35,000. Helicopter transfers from a regional airport to a villa usually run €3,000–8,000. Every trip is quoted live — these are orientation, not a price list.
- What is an empty-leg flight, and can you book one?
- An empty leg is a repositioning flight an operator sells at a discount. I'll surface relevant empty-leg pricing when it aligns with your dates and times — and say so plainly when it doesn't, rather than push you onto an inconvenient slot.
- Can I bring pets on a private jet?
- Most operators welcome pets in the cabin. Mention it in the inquiry and it's confirmed with the quote.
- Can you arrange ground transfer to and from the airport?
- Yes — chauffeur from home, FBO transfer at both ends, a helicopter leg to the villa where it makes sense. One inquiry covers all of it.
- How is operator safety verified?
- Every operator holds a current EASA Air Operator Certificate and insurance. Safety records and accreditations — ARGUS, Wyvern, IS-BAO — are shared on request before you book.
