Your flight Madrid - Bordeaux

The private jet route Madrid – Bordeaux connects the Spanish capital to the South-West France wine metropolis in just 1h15 to 1h30, over a distance of 535 km. This route is strategic for Iberian wine merchants travelling to Bordeaux for the Vinexpo trade fair, classified château en primeur tastings, or meetings at the Cité du Vin. Madrid-based sports teams (Real Madrid, Atlético) also charter jets for European connections via Bordeaux-Mérignac. On scheduled services, the journey often requires a stopover in Paris or Lyon; by private jet it is a direct flight in under 90 minutes.

Departures operate from Madrid-Barajas (MAD) — formally renamed Adolfo Suárez — one of the busiest airports in Europe. Private jets use a separate general aviation terminal (FBO) away from the commercial terminals, ensuring quick and discreet access. On arrival, Bordeaux-Mérignac (BOD), 12 km from the city centre and Place de la Bourse, features a modern business aviation terminal with 24/7 reception, private lounge, and valet service. In 2024, Bordeaux-Mérignac handled over 4,200 private aviation movements.

Operators such as PrivateJetFinder, Aéroaffaires, and LunaJets offer light jets (Phenom 300E, Citation CJ4) or midsize aircraft (Citation XLS+) on this axis. Empty-leg flights are available on this route, particularly towards Madrid following Bordeaux events (Vinexpo, grands crus), with discounts reaching 35%. The Iberian circuit (Madrid–Barcelona–Bordeaux) is especially popular with wine-tourism investor groups.
