Madrid Grand Prix 2026 by Private Jet

The Madring: what to know about the new circuit

The Madring, officially the IFEMA Madrid Circuit, is a hybrid 5.4-kilometre, 22-corner layout, blending street-style sections around the IFEMA halls with a fast permanent stretch through the new Valdebebas district, all about twenty minutes from central Madrid. Its showpiece already has a name: La Monumental, a banked turn nearly half a kilometre long with 24% banking, which the cars will navigate for six seconds in front of a 45,000-seat grandstand, the longest banked corner on the calendar according to F1. Sunday's race runs over 57 laps.

Good to know: Formula 2 and Formula 3 race on the same weekend, and the event is listed subject to the circuit's final FIA homologation, a routine formality for a new track. Finally, 2026 also opens a new technical era for F1: this inaugural Madrid edition will carry a particular historical flavour.

Which airport for the Madrid Grand Prix by private jet?

Two options stand out. Madrid-Barajas (MAD) is the proximity choice: the Madring is literally five minutes from the terminals, and the airport offers business aviation handling. It is also the natural option for heavy jets and long-range flights.

Cuatro Vientos (LECU), Madrid's historic general aviation airfield to the south-west, suits light aircraft and offers a more discreet arrival, about twenty-five minutes from the circuit. Over the Grand Prix weekend, slots and aircraft parking will be in high demand at both airfields: as with any major event, booking well ahead secures your arrival and departure, especially on Sunday evening. Our teams arrange the flight to or from Madrid in whichever direction your trip runs, outbound and back.

Flight times and indicative pricing

Madrid is reached nonstop from across Europe: expect about 1 h 55 from Paris-Le Bourget, 1 h 50 from Geneva and 2 h 15 from London. As an indication, a Paris-Madrid round trip on a light jet is quoted from about 15,000 euros, depending on aircraft, dates and availability. For a corporate group or delegation, our group travel service coordinates larger aircraft and synchronised arrivals. Our private jet rental cost page details the factors behind a quote, and our available fleet covers every configuration.

Make the weekend a trip, not just a race

Madrid is one of Europe's most pleasant capitals in September: the Prado and the Thyssen for art, the Retiro for shade, the tapas terraces of La Latina and the Gran Vía rooftops for the evenings. This being the first Grand Prix on this circuit, hotel demand will peak: our concierge services book your hotels, restaurants and transfers, and can match your flight times to the sessions, up to a Sunday-evening departure after the podium. Motorsport enthusiasts will also enjoy our guides to the Monaco Grand Prix and the Las Vegas Grand Prix, and football fans our feature on the Champions League by private jet.
