Which aircraft for Geneva–Malaga?
This is classic light-jet territory — the Citation CJ3 class covers it comfortably with 6–7 passengers. Choose midsize only if you need the taller cabin, an enclosed lavatory for clients, or bulky sports luggage like golf bags and bikes.
Best time to book
Malaga is a summer market. July and August weekends are the crunch — reserve early and expect premium pricing — while May, June and September offer the same weather with better aircraft choice and regular empty-leg opportunities.
