Private jet charter to Greece

Athens is three hours and twenty minutes from a London airfield by light jet, and the rest of Greece sits within half an hour either side of that: Corfu on the Ionian coast in under three hours, Rhodes at the far end of the Aegean in nearly four. Private Jets UK plans Greek charters around that spread, because the country is less one destination than a dozen, most of them islands with a single runway and rules of their own. Our customers have access to 6,500 jets of all types and configurations available for rent. We will help you choose the best option based on your needs and objectives. Our catalog contains the models from the largest manufacturers: Gulfstream, Dassault, Embraer, Airbus, Boeing, Bombardier, Learjet, Cessna, Beechcraft, Pilatus, HondaJet, etc. We have established partnerships with the world's largest airlines and VIP terminals, which means we can offer you favourable flight conditions and a high level of service. Our experts will manage the organization of your flight - starting with paperwork, agreements, etc., and ending with a transfer and meeting at the airport. Our company provides a full range of business aviation and concierge services. In Greece that means slots and parking permissions, a landing permit where one is needed and a plan for the last stretch to a village, a marina or a beach, which is often a boat or a helicopter rather than the aircraft you arrived on.

 

 

At your request, the aviation consultants of Private Jets UK will help you choose the jet with the suitable technical parameters (production year, flight hours, and home base). The cost of the private jet charter in Greece depends on many factors, such as the model of the business jet, the number of passengers, departure and destination airports, type of flight, duration of parking, additional services, etc. Therefore, we calculate the price of each order individually taking into account your wishes. You can use an online calculator to get an instant charter quote. Please indicate your real contact details to get the final calculation.

You can calculate the cost of your flight in several ways:

• using an online calculator on the website (however, it shows only the approximate price);
• via Messenger (WhatsApp or Telegram);
• by landline or cell phone;
• via e-mail (jets@private-jets.co.uk).

 

 

Please note that the above-mentioned price is indicative only. It is calculated on this basis: a departure from Biggin Hill, an Embraer Phenom 300E to Athens and two passengers aboard. If you want to get a personal quote, just fill out the online booking form below. Our aviation consultant will make the calculation within 20 minutes, and then contact you to specify the details of the flight.

 

How long does it take to fly to Greece?

Greece is two hours ahead of Britain, so the clock on arrival reads two hours later than the flight time alone suggests. These are the sectors from London Biggin Hill on a light jet, gate to gate:

The exact flight time depends on the model of the business jet, as well as the speed of the tail or head wind. Our consultant will make a detailed calculation of the flight time for the chosen business jet.

 

 

Prices for the private jet flights to Greece

Typical private jet charter prices from Britain into Greece, listed cheapest first. Athens sets the entry price, since it is the gateway where the aircraft can always land, and the table then climbs with the distance and the size of the cabin:

 

 

Private jet flights within Greece and to its neighbours

The islands that matter lie roughly 80 to 230 nautical miles from Athens, and a ferry from Piraeus to Mykonos takes two to three hours on a fast boat. These are the hops we are asked for, and the neighbouring capitals clients combine with a Greek trip:

 

 

We can arrange the flights from any cities in the UK (England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland) and European countries. Due to a large database of available business jets, we can help you find an optimal jet and crew. If you have any questions about the departure or the flight itself, you can ask them using the form below:

 

 

Prices depending on the type of business jet

We can clearly show the high dependence of the cost of the flight, on the type of aircraft - we have collected approximate data, at the price of 1 flight hour, for various types of business jets:

 

 

The cost per hour indicated in the table is preliminary and does not constitute an offer or a commercial offer. Exact prices are available from the managers of the company.

Private jets are ready to take off

Our database contains over 6,500 business jets (about 3,500 in Europe and 3,000 in the rest of the world) of different configurations and production years. The list of models is constantly updated. Unfortunately, we can't post a full list of available jets on our website due to confidentiality issues. Please contact the managers of the company for more accurate information. We will help you choose a suitable model taking into account your wishes. These are the typical choices for Greece:

 

 

Because the domestic legs need an EU-registered aircraft, the quote for an island trip often names Athens, Rome, Milan or Thessaloniki as the place the second aircraft starts from.

Business aviation airports in Greece

Greece has one gateway that takes everything and a ring of island fields whose rules matter more than their runways. Fourteen regional airports belong to a single operator under a forty-year concession, yet handling, slots and lounge fees are set field by field:

 

Four rules settle most Greek arrivals before a quote goes out:

 

Arriving from Britain: passports, customs and what to carry

Greece belongs to the European Union and to Schengen, and Britain belongs to neither. A private flight from London therefore arrives as a flight from outside both, and the border is dealt with at the first Greek airport you land at, whichever island that is.

 

 

Which airport for which part of Greece

The arrival airport is nearly always settled by a single address: the hotel in Oia, the villa above Kassiopi, the office in Maroussi. These are the usual pairings:

 

Athens, the islands and the mainland: what our clients go for

Athens is where the business is: the ministries, the offices and the shortest trips we fly, a night in town and the same aircraft home. The general aviation terminal has its own helipad, so those heading for a boat or a villa change from jet to helicopter without leaving the airport.

The Cyclades account for most of the rest. The Mykonos beach clubs open in the last week or two of May, and a helicopter from Athens takes 35 to 50 minutes. Santorini peaks in July and August, and from November to April most beachfront tavernas shut and the highs may not pass 12 degrees.

The Ionian islands are the closest to Britain. Corfu has a UNESCO old town, the Achilleion built for the Empress of Austria and, between Barbati and Kassiopi, so many villas that the coast is nicknamed Kensington-on-Sea. Zakynthos has Navagio, a beach reached only by boat, and the loggerhead turtles of Laganas.

Crete is another scale. Heraklion has Knossos 5 km away and the resort hotels of Elounda, while Chania has a Venetian harbour and is the base for the Samaria Gorge, open only from 1 May to the end of October. In the north, Thessaloniki serves a business city and Chalkidiki, and Skiathos offers beaches and the Mamma Mia locations.

Yachts sit behind many of these trips. Gouvia marina on Corfu has 1,200 berths and customs listed on site, seven kilometres from the airport. The meltemi, which blows from mid-May to mid-September and reaches 20 to 25 knots in July and August, is the one piece of weather the skipper and the pilot both watch.

 

The Greek year: when the islands open and when they empty

Greece has two flying seasons on one map. The islands run from Easter to October with a deep summer peak, while Athens and Thessaloniki work all year:

 

The Greek calendar: Easter, a festival summer and the autumn fairs

The dated events are few but firm, and each pulls on a different airport:

 

 

Flying to Greece with a dog or a cat

A dog or cat travels in the cabin and the paperwork is the ordinary European set. Two things need planning: the airport where the animal is presented, and the date of the dog's treatment before the journey home.

 

• An ISO-standard microchip, fitted before or at the same time as the rabies vaccination and never after it;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with at least 21 days between the vaccination and travel;
• An Animal Health Certificate from an official vet, issued no more than ten days before arrival in the EU and valid for the return as stated on the certificate. A British pet passport cannot be used;
• No more than five animals per traveller, and more than that, or an animal travelling without its owner, is treated as a commercial consignment;
• For a dog, the tapeworm treatment described above. On a trip of up to five days the treatment can be given before leaving, as long as the dog lands back in Britain inside the same window.

Cats need the same list without the worming. We tell the handler in advance and confirm in writing which airport will receive the animal.

Requirements for birds, rabbits and the less usual species, along with the countries where the timeline runs to months, are set out on our flying with pets guide.

 

 

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. Greece produces many, because so many trips there are one-way by nature.

A client who can offer a few days has a far better chance of a match, though the operator owns the date and a leg can disappear when the original booking changes. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page. A selection of Greek empty legs follows:

 

 

 

Helicopter charter

Athens has the most useful arrangement for a helicopter: the general aviation terminal has its own helipad, so a passenger can step from a jet to a rotor without leaving the airport. Helicopters are exempt from slot allocation under the Greek rules, though prior permission still applies where it is required. In Greece the work is short, and mostly about islands:

The times are straight-line estimates at a cruise of about 115 knots, and the operator confirms the route for your date. A load of 400 to 500 kilograms is a typical limit on the Athens to Mykonos run.

 

 

Flights from the UK to Greece

Biggin Hill, London City, Luton and Farnborough send most of the traffic on this corridor, with Southampton, Birmingham and Manchester behind them and Scotland at the long end; the price table higher up covers thirteen of those pairings. Our clients have access to all airports of the UK and Europe. Due to the unique partnership conditions, we can offer our clients the best prices for business aviation services. Our experts will consult you on the availability of private jets in a particular city and help you choose the best option.
