Mykonos Private Jet Charter Flights
A private plane flying to Mykonos skims low over the Aegean Sea, while the whitewashed houses of Chora lie 2.5 miles from the runway. Passengers on private jets arrive to spend a few weeks in villas above Ornos and Agios Ioannis, enjoy leisurely lunches on Psaru Beach, and admire the sunset near the windmills of Kato Mili overlooking “Little Venice.” Many add a morning boat trip to Delos, an archaeological island located near the old harbor, to their itinerary.
Mykonos Airport (JMK) handles all private jet flights to the island, with ground handling provided by Olympic Handling, Goldair Handling, and Swissport. Athens International Airport (ATH) serves as a hub for large aircraft and long-haul flights, while Paros National Airport (PAS) in the south handles smaller aircraft. Mykonos is at its best at the start of the season, when the beach clubs open and the island is still quiet.
What Does a Private Jet to or from Mykonos Cost?
The cost of chartering a private jet to or from Mykonos ranges from $3,500 to $18,000 per hour. These hourly rates vary depending on aircraft category, model, year of manufacture, onboard amenities, flight time, and itinerary. They include aircraft-specific costs, such as the aircraft, maintenance, crew, insurance, and fuel.
Private Jet Airports near Mykonos
Three airports serve charter flights by private aircraft to Mykonos and the central part of the Cyclades.
- Mykonos Airport (JMK): 2.5 miles southeast of Mykonos Town. The runway is 6,240 feet long, suitable for light and midsize jets; during the summer, each private flight requires a slot, which the operator reserves when arranging the trip.
- Athens International Airport (ATH): Approximately 95 miles west of Mykonos as the crow flies, a short flight in a light jet. Athens accommodates large aircraft operating long-haul flights and has space to park an aircraft for an entire week.
- Paros National Airport (PAS): approximately 25 miles south of Mykonos as the crow flies. Paros Airport serves light jets and is the main airport for guests staying in villas on the islands of Paros and Antiparos.
Passengers on private jets in Mykonos use the services of ground handling agents such as Olympic Handling, Goldair Handling, and Swissport, separately from airline passengers.
- Lounges: The lounge for private jet passengers in Mykonos is a quiet place to wait, and passport control for private flights is handled through your ground handling agent. Greece is part of the Schengen Area, so passengers from Nice or Ibiza bypass passport control, while passengers from London go through it upon arrival.
- Ground Transportation: We’ll arrange for a car and driver to meet you at the aircraft, if airport regulations permit. The town of Chora is about a 10-minute drive from the airport, and the farthest eastern part of the island is about 30 minutes away.
- Aircraft Services: Fuel is available on Mykonos, and the operator plans the flight taking into account the strong summer “meltemi” winds. In July and August, we ask the operator to cool the aircraft cabin before boarding.
- Concierge Services: We can book rooms at the “Cavo Tagoo” hotel above Chora or at “Santa Marina” in Ornos, as well as arrange meals for your return flight. In July and August, we recommend booking flights, slots, and hotels as early as possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can my private jet wait on the ground on the island of Mykonos?
Usually not during the summer. The parking area on Mykonos is small, and during peak season, private jets are often allowed less than an hour on the ground. The operator flies you to your destination, then transfers the jet, most often to Athens, and returns it in time for your departure. We coordinate these flights and return times with the operator during the booking process.
How much does a private jet flight from Mykonos to Athens cost?
A one-way private jet flight from Mykonos to Athens costs $7,000 on a light jet and up to $20,500 on a heavy aircraft. Rates for turboprops start at $3,500 per hour, light jets at $4,500, midsize jets at $7,500, and heavy jets at $13,000. The cost of a charter flight to Mykonos ranges from $3,500 to $18,000 per hour.
Which private jet is best suited for a summer trip to Mykonos?
For most trips to Mykonos, a midsize jet is the best choice, as it has a range sufficient to fly to Nice or London and specifications compatible with the island’s runway. Midsize jets feature a private restroom and an onboard galley, and most are equipped with Wi-Fi. If flying on a large jet from New York, a stopover in Athens is typically required for a connecting flight. We verify the amenities available on each specific jet before you make a reservation.
