Why Fly Private
El Prat handles over 50 million passengers annually, making commercial arrivals a lengthy affair. Private aviation shaves hours off your journey and provides direct access from cities across Europe with no connecting flights. During Mobile World Congress or Primavera Sound, commercial availability tightens — private jets guarantee your schedule.
Private Jet Experience
Landing at Barcelona-El Prat, your aircraft taxis to the dedicated business aviation area where ground staff handle customs and luggage seamlessly.
