Lisbon
Chartering a private jet to Lisbon means reaching, in a few hours, one of Southern Europe's most dynamic capitals, at the crossroads of business, tourism and Atlantic art of living. Built on seven hills, the city unfolds the lanes of the Alfama, the monuments of Belém, a fast-rising dining scene and, close by, the romantic setting of Sintra. The city is served by two complementary airports: Humberto Delgado, in the heart of the city, and Cascais, dedicated to business aviation. IBC Aviation orchestrates both the flight and the stay, to or from Portugal.
Why charter a private jet to Lisbon?
Lisbon combines business meetings, international conferences and leisure stays, from spring to autumn. At peak times, scheduled flights are saturated and timetables rigid; the private jet frees you from this and links the capital directly from most European cities in one to three hours, preserving both time and discretion.
For a business trip as much as for a weekend, our teams select from our fleet the aircraft suited to the distance and the number of passengers, and coordinate all ground logistics, from the apron to your hotel.
Humberto Delgado (LIS) or Cascais (CAT): which airport?
Lisbon–Humberto Delgado Airport (LIS / LPPT), a few kilometres from the centre, is the main point of entry. Its main runway of around 3,705 m accommodates every type of aircraft, from light jets to ultra-long-range jets, which makes it the natural option for intercontinental links.
Around twenty kilometres away, Cascais–Tires Aerodrome (CAT / LPCS) is the region's dedicated business-aviation airport. Its runway of around 1,400 m suits light and midsize jets, in a private and seamless setting, close to the Lisbon Riviera. It operates in daytime hours, with operations after sunset subject to prior permission. Our teams determine the field best suited to your aircraft and your schedule.
What to see and do in Lisbon
A visit often begins in Belém, on the banks of the Tagus, where the Belém Tower and the Jerónimos Monastery, both UNESCO World Heritage sites, bear witness to the Age of Discovery in Manueline architecture of rare delicacy. A few steps away, the Pastéis de Belém bakery has kept alive the recipe for the famous pastel de nata since 1837. Along the river, the MAAT presents its contemporary-art exhibitions in a wave-like building facing the water.
At the heart of the city, the Alfama, Lisbon's oldest quarter, reveals its stepped lanes where fado echoes after dark. Higher up, the Chiado and Bairro Alto bring together bookshops, terraces and nightlife, while Tram 28, between Martim Moniz and Campo de Ourique, threads the Alfama, the Baixa and Estrela aboard its historic carriages. For a taste of Portuguese cuisine, the Time Out Market, housed in the Mercado da Ribeira, gathers the city's best kitchens under one roof. About thirty minutes away, Sintra and its Pena Palace, the Quinta da Regaleira with its Initiation Well, then the coast of Cascais and Estoril extend the stay between heritage and Atlantic shoreline.
Where to stay: palaces and addresses with character
Lisbon brings together grand houses. The Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon overlooks the centre, a few steps from Avenida da Liberdade, with its panoramic rooftop over the city. On the heights of Lapa, the Olissippo Lapa Palace, a member of The Leading Hotels of the World, occupies a 19th-century mansion surrounded by gardens, facing the Tagus.
On the prestigious Avenida da Liberdade, the Tivoli Avenida Liberdade combines a central location with exceptional service. In the Chiado, the Bairro Alto Hotel and its rooftop offer one of the finest views over the city, while the Palácio Príncipe Real, a boutique hotel set in a pink 1870s mansion, embodies the quiet elegance of the Príncipe Real district. Our concierge service books the hotel, the table and the transfers to build a bespoke stay, as a continuation of your flight.
The great events of Lisbon
In June, the Festas de Lisboa, also known as the Santos Populares, enliven the city's streets all month long: grilled sardines, arraiais and popular marches peak on the night of 12 to 13 June for Saint Anthony, Lisbon's patron saint. The summer continues in music with the NOS Alive festival, in July, on the Algés riverfront. In autumn, the Web Summit, one of the world's largest technology gatherings, is held from 9 to 12 November 2026 at the Altice Arena, in the Parque das Nações, drawing a considerable international crowd.
These occasions are among the most in-demand periods: our teams anticipate the flight, slots and accommodation to secure access.
