Melilla Airport supports aircraft up to 55,000 lbs maximum takeoff weight. This easily accommodates most turboprops, very light jets, light jets, and select midsize jets, but excludes the largest ultra-long-range and heavy jet types.

MLN requires prior permission (PPR) for all private jet operations, coordinated directly through airport authorities. Slot requests should be made at least 24-48 hours in advance. Jettly’s operations team will handle all slot coordination and landing permit needs for your Melilla flight.

Melilla Airport enforces a night curfew from 11:00 PM to 6:00 AM, with only authorized flights permitted during these hours. All jet operations must comply with local noise abatement procedures. Jettly integrates curfew restrictions into every Melilla itinerary to ensure seamless travel.

King Air 350, Pilatus PC-12, and Beechcraft Super King Air excel on short regional flights to Malaga, Seville, and Casablanca, with runway performance suited to Melilla’s field length.
Very light jets such as the Phenom 100 and Citation Mustang are ideal for quick crossings to mainland Spain or Morocco, carrying up to four passengers in premium comfort.
Light jets like the Phenom 300, Citation CJ3+, and Learjet 40XR are the top choice for Melilla charters to Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia. These aircraft seat 6-8 passengers and make for efficient regional hops.
The Citation XLS+ and Hawker 800XP provide a stand-up cabin, ample luggage space, and extended range, connecting Melilla to Paris, Geneva, or Lisbon nonstop with 7-9 passengers.
Super-midsize jets are rarely operated from Melilla due to runway restrictions, but select Citation Sovereign or Challenger 300 flights can be arranged with weight management for specific missions.
Heavy jets such as the Gulfstream G450 or Falcon 2000 are generally not supported at Melilla due to runway and weight constraints. For ultra-long-range or large-cabin flights, Malaga (AGP) is the recommended departure point.

Melilla’s runway and weight limitations mean that large-cabin and ultra-long-range jets must depart from Malaga or other major airports for intercontinental missions. Jettly’s team will advise on the optimal departure airport for your route and aircraft type.
