Mykonos (LGMK) from Athens ~40 min, London ~3h45. In peak season, a slot is everything.
Mykonos Island National Airport (LGMK) sits tight against the Aegean, with a single ~6,200 ft runway. That physics equation decides which aircraft can land, how heavy they can be on a hot July afternoon, and how scarce a slot becomes when the island fills.

Indicative "from" pricing, per estimate, one-way. Final quotes depend on date, positioning, passengers, and peak-season demand. Every request returns three operator options from FAA Part 135 carriers, with preference for ARGUS/Wyvern-rated.

All "from" pricing is indicative, an estimate, and not a guaranteed fare. Final quotes depend on date, aircraft positioning, passenger count, and peak-season demand.
Most Mykonos charters aren't solo. We coordinate group uplift, villa concierge handoffs, and yacht-tender connections so the aircraft, the house, and the boat arrive on the same clock.
Coordinate multiple aircraft or a single midsize for 8–14 guests. We sync arrivals so the villa staff and transfers are ready the moment wheels drop.
Land, walk straight to the tender, and step aboard. We align your slot with the yacht's anchorage window and the captain's port-call schedule.
Repeat travellers and family offices get a dedicated desk, saved preferences, and 24/7 coverage across 174 countries — discretion is the default.
"They slotted a midsize into LGMK on a Saturday in August when everyone else said impossible. The villa transfer was waiting on the tarmac." — Family office travel manager
LGMK sits four kilometres from Chora (Mykonos Town). We pre-arrange the right transfer so you step off the aircraft and into the island rhythm — no queues, no waiting.
Tell us dates, passengers, and departure city. You'll get three Part 135 operator options — light, midsize, or super-midsize — with ARGUS/Wyvern preference, in writing.

Generally no, not at useful payloads. LGMK's ~6,200 ft runway, combined with hot summer temperatures and the surrounding terrain, makes heavy jets like the Gulfstream G650 or Global 6000/7500 weight-restricted. They often can't land with the fuel and passenger load a long-haul flight requires.
The practical answer for Mykonos is a light, midsize, or super-midsize jet (Citation XLS+, Challenger 350, Legacy 500). Heavy-jet travellers typically route via Athens (LGAV) or Santorini (LGSR) and connect onward.
For July and August, especially Friday and Sunday evenings, we recommend booking 10–14 days ahead at minimum. Last-minute slots do open, but pricing climbs steeply and the preferred arrival windows (typically 16:00–21:00 local) fill first.
For weekends in peak season, two to three weeks gives the best mix of aircraft choice, slot time, and price.
Athens Eleftherios Venizelos (LGAV) is the most reliable hub for Mykonos. A light jet or turboprop from LGAV to LGMK is ~40 minutes, with multiple daily slot windows.
This is the standard path for heavy-jet travellers arriving intercontinental: long-haul into Athens, then a short island hop. We can plan both legs as a single itinerary with a seamless FBO transfer.
Yes. Helicopter transfers are a popular alternative, both for reaching Mykonos from nearby islands (Santorini, Paros, Naxos) and for moving between the airport, yachts, and villas on arrival.
Heli slots are also capacity-controlled in peak season. We can quote a fixed-wing + helicopter combination or a helicopter-only itinerary on request.
LGMK operates within restricted hours that tighten further in peak season. Late-night arrivals are generally not permitted, and slots concentrate in daytime and early-evening windows. This is precisely why peak slots become so scarce.
If your schedule demands a late arrival, we'll usually plan a touchdown at Athens (LGAV) or another 24-hour field, with an onward connection the following morning.
