Private jet charter in Mykonos

Under four hours out of a London airfield is all it takes to be on the Cyclades by lunchtime, but on this route the date matters far more than the aircraft. Private Jets UK builds every Mykonos charter around that fact. 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. Mykonos Airport has a single 1,900 m runway, a general aviation lounge that every private arrival has to use, and, in the summer months, a rule that a visiting jet may typically stay on the ground for only 40 minutes, so in July the flight is the easy part and the parking is the hard one.

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 Mykonos 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, a Cessna Citation CJ3+ 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 Mykonos?

About 3 h 50 min from Biggin Hill or London City in a light jet, 3 h 35 min from Luton in a Phenom, a little under four from Manchester and just over four from Edinburgh, with a two-hour clock change on arrival because Greece keeps Eastern European time. At 1,412 to 1,695 nautical miles from the British fields we use, Mykonos is one of the longest sectors a light jet flies from Britain, and the point at which we start to quote a midsize cabin next to it. The table gives the sector from each field.

Prices for the private jet flights to Mykonos

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all of them into Mykonos Airport. July, August and the festival weekends sit above these figures, and the calendar block further down explains when. The general aviation lounge charge at the airport is quoted separately.

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:

Private jet flights from Mykonos

Mykonos is a hub for nothing, and most of what leaves it is short. Athens, Santorini, Paros and Naxos are a half-hour away by air, the Cyclades beyond them are a ferry or a helicopter, and the longer sectors run to Italy, Austria, the south of France and the Gulf. Typical one-way prices:

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 Mykonos:

This is a small part of what is available. Mykonos is at the far end of the European business jet fleet, so for a booking in the summer peak an aircraft is often positioned from Athens, Rome, Milan or Nice, and the quote may name one of those cities as the starting point. That is normal for an island airport with almost no based aircraft, and it is frequently where the better price comes from.

1. Flight request - indicating the route and your preferences for the model of business jet and other points.
2. Coordination of flight details - our consultant will contact you to offer the possible flight options and answer all your questions.

Our experts will be happy to answer your questions and help you arrange your flight.

Business aviation airports in Mykonos

One airport serves the island, and the choice that matters is whether the aircraft lands there or somewhere else. The other airports below earn their place as places to park, to change to a boat or a helicopter, or to reach another island.

Four points settle most Mykonos arrivals:

Landing permits, the Schengen border and the way home

A private flight into Greece does not usually need a separate landing permit. What it needs is the PPR and the slot, issued through the handler, and the operator has to be licensed to fly the route. Operators from outside the EU, which since Brexit includes British ones, are reported to need a permit from the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority for charter flights, typically applied for at least five working days ahead, and in summer it can take longer; we confirm in writing whether it applies to your flight. The rule that surprises clients is cabotage: published guidance says a non-EU operator may fly UK to Greece and back, but not carry passengers between two Greek airports, and how it applies to a private flight is confirmed on request. London to Athens to Mykonos on a single British charter may therefore not be possible, while London to Mykonos nonstop is the safe plan, and for a trip that needs both airports we propose a different plan. We arrange the permits and say plainly when a trip cannot be flown as drawn.

For the flight home, the General Aviation Report for Britain is filed not earlier than 48 hours and not later than 2 hours before departure, and any passenger who needs an Electronic Travel Authorisation for the UK must hold it before boarding. British and Irish citizens are exempt. The same handler who arranged the arrival files the paperwork for the departure, and the lounge fee applies to each sector with passengers. Cash worth about £8,500 or more (an approximate conversion of the EU threshold) must be declared on entry to the EU.

From the apron to Mykonos Town

Mykonos is a small island with a short list of places that matter. Chora, the main town, is a few minutes from the airport, the beach clubs and villas lie along the south coast, and the sea does the rest. Most of the distances worth knowing are over water.

Flying to Mykonos with a dog or a cat

Greece asks for more paperwork than the flight takes time, and the flight is long enough for a dog to settle and sleep. The animal sits beside you in the cabin, never in a hold. The detail that goes wrong is the date on the health certificate, which is valid for only ten days for entry to the EU, and the second detail is the airport at which the animal is allowed to arrive.

What Greece asks for when a pet arrives from Britain:

• An ISO microchip, fitted before the rabies vaccination or at the same time;
• A rabies vaccination given when the animal was at least 12 weeks old, with 21 days elapsed before the animal travels;
• An Animal Health Certificate for each trip, issued by an Official Veterinarian and valid for ten days for entry to the EU. A British pet passport cannot be used to enter the EU;
• No more than five animals per traveller, presented at a designated point of entry. The Greek foreign ministry's list names Athens International Airport among the border inspection posts, and the island entry points it lists do not include Mykonos;
• For dogs, a tapeworm treatment from a vet between 24 and 120 hours before arrival back in Britain, recorded on the paperwork. Cats are exempt.

Requirements for cats, ferrets, birds and anything less usual are collected on our flying with pets guide. For the entry point and the paperwork on the way home, we confirm both in writing before the flight, and our managers check the position for your dates before a booking is taken.

The Mykonos calendar: an island that opens and closes

Mykonos is two different places in one year. From November to April it is a quiet island with limited ferries and limited flights; from May to October it is a busy summer airport, with a Greek notice limiting how long a private jet may stand on the apron. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

Ways to bring the Mykonos price down

• Move the dates out of July and August where you can. The second half of September is warm, quiet and cheaper to reach;
• Avoid Fridays and Mondays when the choice is yours. Handlers report them as the busiest days for fuel at the island, with Saturday usually slower;
• Compare the airports. On the same light jet from Biggin Hill, Athens is priced about £800 lower than Mykonos, while Santorini, which is further from London, comes out about £600 higher. The saving is real, but you then take a helicopter or a boat, so let the place you are sleeping decide.

Types of flights

Mykonos produces a different mix from the cities we cover, because people go there for the sea, not for meetings. Almost everything is leisure, and almost everything is short on the ground.

• Villa and beach weekends, flown out on a Thursday or Friday and back on the Sunday or Monday, usually with the aircraft dropping the party and leaving;
• Yacht handovers and sailing trips around the Cyclades, joining a boat at the island with soft bags and a fixed date;
• Festival, party and event travel in June, July and August, from the opening weeks of the beach clubs to the late-August festival;
• Island-hopping to Santorini, Paros and Naxos, by jet to Santorini and by turboprop or helicopter to the others;
• Day trips to Delos, by excursion boat from the Old Port, and longer boat days around the coast;
• Connections through Athens, arriving from Britain on a jet and finishing the journey by helicopter or fast ferry.

A same-day return is the one pattern that does not work. The sector alone is close to four hours each way, and the ground time at the island is limited to about 40 minutes in the busy months, so the aircraft cannot wait for you. A short stay is therefore planned as two separate one-way flights, and we quote it that way, so the figure you see is the one you pay.

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. On the Mykonos route the aircraft that cannot stay on the apron produce a steady supply of them, and it helps to know where they come from.

Because the corridor is far thinner in winter than in the peak, a client who can name a few days rather than one has a far better chance than one who needs a particular evening. What you give up is the usual: the operator owns the date and the hour, and a leg can vanish when the original booking moves. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page, and we flag a Mykonos match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

On the Cyclades a helicopter competes with a boat for the same job, which is the last stretch between a runway and somewhere that has none. The routes that matter are Athens to Mykonos, Mykonos to Santorini for the day and Mykonos to a villa or a beach club, and the ferry timetable decides which of them a helicopter wins.

The machines on this ground are the Airbus H125 for island and coastal work, the wider H130 for villa and harbour transfers, the H135 and the Bell 429 where a twin is wanted, and the H155 for larger parties. We book them alongside the jet so that both crews work to one timetable.

Flight payment options

The main goal of our company is to provide the highest level of comfort to our customers. Therefore, we're always ready to meet you halfway. Our consultants will offer you a wide variety of flights to meet your needs and budget. Most customers prefer a non-cash method (a transfer to an EU bank account), which guarantees a high level of confidentiality and security of payment. All payment details are provided in advance, so you'll have enough time to make the necessary checks. For years of working in business aviation, our company has gained an impeccable reputation. We practice transparency and are always ready to present all necessary documents.

Private Jets UK works with both physical and legal entities. We guarantee the confidentiality and security of payments. You can pay for the flights from Mykonos in any convenient way:

• cashless (by transfer to our account);
• by cash;
• by card;
• by cryptocurrency.

Our company works with European and British banks, which allows you to choose the most convenient payment method. In addition, we conclude formal agreements and provide our clients with all necessary documents and invoices, which guarantees the safe payment and delivery of services. If you have any financial questions, feel free to contact our private aviation consultants.

If you need to book an urgent flight, please keep in mind that the bank transfer can take a few days. In such situations, we may need to involve our partner companies so that you can pay for your flight in cash. If you have any questions, you can contact your personal consultant 24/7.
