Useful information
Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI/LEPA) operates 24/7, a decisive advantage for private travellers who need to arrive or depart outside standard commercial windows. Both asphalt runways measure 3,000 metres and accommodate every aircraft type, from light jets to large business jets and airliners. This flexibility means your schedule dictates the flight, not the airport.
The two asphalt runways can accommodate all types of aircraft, including light jets, intermediate jets and airliners. Private movements are handled through the General Aviation Terminal (GAT), where five FBOs deliver discreet, secure and fast transfers between your business jet and your waiting ground transport:
- SkyValet
- Mallorcair
- Jetland
- Universal Aviation
- General Aviation
Each FBO provides fast-track customs clearance and VIP lounge access, sparing you the crowds of the main terminal during the busy summer season.
