Mykonos · Santorini · The Cyclades
Private jet charter to Mykonos
Fly direct to the island from London, Paris, Geneva or Nice, or hop across from Athens in about half an hour. Every flight is run by a certificated air carrier and quoted all-in.
The island, closer than it looks
About four hours from London. About thirty minutes from Athens.
Mykonos has its own airport a short drive from town, so a private flight puts you close to the villa, the harbour and Little Venice. We arrange the aircraft, the island logistics and the timing.

FAA Part 135 carriers, or the European equivalent, named on every quote.

The island airport
A small airport in a very busy summer
Mykonos airport sits a short drive from town and welcomes business jets up to large cabin. Its apron is compact, and in summer an aircraft can rarely stay parked.
- ParkingOperators request arrival and parking well ahead. In summer the aircraft usually drops you off and repositions, then returns for you.
- BordersArrivals from London clear passport control on the island. Flights from Paris, Geneva or Nice stay inside the Schengen area.
- Time zoneGreece runs two hours ahead of the UK and one hour ahead of France and Switzerland.
Island hopping by air

Short flights link the islands in minutes where ferries take hours. The shortest island runways suit turboprops only. Plan a hop

How it works
From request to the island
Your request
Where you are flying from, the dates and the number of guests. Add villa or yacht timings in the notes.
Island logistics
We match aircraft to the route and check parking, permissions and timing for the island in season.
All-in options
You receive options with the operator named and one price that includes taxes, fees and any repositioning.
Arrival
Sign the charter agreement, and your advisor confirms terminal details and ground transport before you fly.
The summer wind
Flying with the meltemi
In July and August a strong, dry north wind called the meltemi sweeps across the Aegean, usually building through the afternoon. It can cancel ferries and make island approaches bumpy.
Morning flights are often smoother, and a private schedule lets you choose them. The crew always makes the final call on conditions, and your advisor plans around the forecast with you.
How the meltemi affects flightsSafety and standards
Who flies you, and how they are checked
Certificated carriers
Every flight is operated by an FAA Part 135 carrier or, in Europe, an operator holding an air operator certificate, with operational control of the aircraft.
Third-party audits
Where an operator holds an ARGUS, Wyvern or IS-BAO audit, it is listed on your quote. These voluntary programmes review safety management, training and maintenance.
Crew and weather
Crews fly within legal duty and rest limits, and the captain decides whether conditions on the island are suitable. We plan the schedule with both in mind.
Questions
Before you fly to the islands
How long is the flight to Mykonos?
By business jet, roughly three and a half to four hours from London, about three and a quarter from Paris, two and a half from Nice and around half an hour from Athens. Winds and the aircraft chosen move these times a little.
Can any private jet land on Mykonos?
Business jets up to large cabin use the airport, but parking on its small apron is scarce in peak season. Some aircraft drop guests off and reposition elsewhere; your quote shows how it will work on your dates.
Is it better to fly into Athens and connect?
Sometimes. A late arrival, a very large aircraft or a few days in Athens first can all favour the connection. Our note Athens first or straight to the island? weighs it up.
Do I need a passport?
Flights from outside the Schengen area, such as London, clear passport control on arrival in Greece. Within Schengen there is no border check on arrival, but every guest still needs a valid passport, or an EU or Swiss national identity card.
Can you arrange flights between the islands?
Yes. Turboprops and small jets connect Athens, Mykonos, Santorini and other islands, and the shortest island runways take turboprops only. See island hopping by air.
Can our dog come to Greece with us?
Many operators accept dogs with prior approval. Greece follows EU entry rules for pets, including a microchip, a rabies vaccination and the right health document, so start the paperwork early.
Is there a fee or deposit for a quote?
None at all, and no membership or account either. You pay only after choosing an aircraft and signing the charter agreement.
