Private jet charter in Paros

A jet leaving a London airfield can be over the Cyclades in about three and a half hours, but it cannot land on Paros: the island's airport takes only flights that start in EU Schengen countries, so a charter from Britain clears customs in Athens, Mykonos or Santorini first and covers the last short stretch another way. Private Jets UK plans every Paros 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. Paros Airport has a single 1,400 m runway, no fuel and no customs, which is why it suits a turboprop or a light jet arriving from elsewhere in the Schengen area and why the real work on a trip from London is the gateway, not the island.

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 Paros 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+ flown by an EU-registered operator through Athens to Paros, with the customs stop in Athens before the last leg, 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 Paros?

About 4 h 40 min from Biggin Hill and 4 h 45 min from London City in a light jet, with the customs stop in Athens included, and close to five hours from Edinburgh or Glasgow. Greece is two hours ahead of Britain, so the clock moves on as you land. The sector is 1,423 to 1,709 nautical miles from the British fields we use, made up of a long leg to the gateway and a hop of 81 nautical miles from Athens to the island. The table shows each field, with the stop on the ground allowed for.

Prices for the private jet flights to Paros

Typical trips from Britain, cheapest first, all flown to Athens and on to Paros as one itinerary. July, August and the festival weekends sit above these figures, and the calendar block further down explains when. Handling fees at the gateway are 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.

Private jet flights from Paros

Paros is not a hub, and most of what leaves it is short. Mykonos, Santorini and Athens are between 25 minutes and 40 minutes away by turboprop, and the longer sectors run to Italy, Austria, Germany and the south of France. One rule shapes every departure: the airport accepts flights to and from EU Schengen countries only, so a trip to Britain or the Gulf starts at a gateway airport and the table below stays inside the Schengen area. 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.

Online Calculator

If you want to make an urgent calculation of the cost of a private plane flight, use our online calculator. Just fill in all the fields of the form with a note that you are interested in a specific model of the aircraft and get the final price. NB! - the figures are sent to you by email or messenger, please carefully fill in the contact details to get the calculation.

All our calculations are as transparent as possible for you. After receiving the request, we will prepare a beautiful offer - where the costs and the final price will be clearly described. The exact price is agreed in advance and is written in the contract, so you can be sure of the final cost.

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 Paros:

This is a small part of what is available. Because the second leg of a Paros trip needs an aircraft registered in the EU, the quote often names Athens, Rome, Milan or Nice as the place the aircraft starts from, and that is normal for a destination with almost no based aircraft. It is frequently where the better price comes from.

Business aviation airports for Paros

One airport sits on the island, but the one that matters for a trip from London is another. The airports below are the island itself and the gateways, each with its own purpose: to land and clear customs, to park, or to change to a boat or a helicopter.

A handful of practical points decide most Paros trips:

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 parking permission and the slot, issued through the handler, and an operator licensed to fly the route. Operators from outside the EU, which includes British ones, need a permit from the Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority for charter flights, applied for at least five working days ahead. The rule that surprises clients is cabotage: a non-EU operator may fly between Britain and Greece, but may not carry passengers between two Greek airports. London to Athens to Paros on one British-registered aircraft is therefore ruled out, and the arrangement with an EU-registered operator or a second aircraft for the last leg is the answer. Greek guidance adds that a flight arriving from outside the Schengen area has to contact the border police and be entered in the passenger information system before it leaves the origin airport, and the handler files the general declaration at the gateway. We arrange the permits and say plainly when a trip cannot be flown as drawn.

For the way home, remember that Paros cannot send a flight direct to Britain. The party flies from the island to a gateway, is checked out there, and the British flight leaves from the gateway. 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. Cash worth about £8,500 or more must be declared on entry to the EU.

From the apron to Parikia and Naoussa

Paros is a compact island with three places worth knowing and a short list of beaches. Parikia is the port and the capital, Naoussa is the fishing harbour on the north coast, and Lefkes sits in the hills. The distances are small and the water between the islands is the real map.

Flying to Paros with a dog or a cat

The paperwork for a pet takes longer than the flight, and on Paros the step that goes wrong is the airport where the animal is first presented. On a private flight the animal stays in the cabin beside you. The other trap is the date on the health certificate, which covers only ten days for entry to the EU.

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, and valid for the return as stated on the certificate. 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 Paros;
• 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.

Rules for cats, ferrets, birds and less usual animals are set out in 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 Paros calendar: an island on the meltemi

Paros is two islands in one year. From November to March it is quiet and many seasonal businesses close; from April to October it is open, and from July to September it is also a coordinated airport with slots for private flights. The wind is the other calendar: the meltemi begins in late June and blows through the summer. Knowing which week you want matters more than choosing an aircraft.

Ways to bring the Paros price down

• Shift the dates out of July and August if the diary allows. Late September keeps the warm sea and brings quieter aircraft availability;
• Choose the gateway with care. On the same light jet from Biggin Hill, a through itinerary by way of Athens prices at about £18,350, by way of Mykonos at about £18,550 and by way of Santorini at about £19,300. Athens is cheapest, parks aircraft more easily and is the place a pet may arrive;
• Let the last leg be the cheap one. A turboprop, or the fast ferry from Mykonos, covers the final distance for a fraction of what a jet costs, and a party that does not mind a boat saves the most.

Types of flights

People go to Paros for the sea, the villages and the wind, not for meetings, so the mix differs from the business cities we cover. Nearly all of it is leisure, and nearly all of it involves two aircraft or an aircraft and a boat.

• Villa and beach weekends, flown out on a Thursday or Friday and back on the Sunday or Monday, with the first leg to Athens or Mykonos and the second by turboprop, helicopter or fast ferry;
• Yacht handovers and sailing trips around the Cyclades, joining a boat at Paros or Antiparos with soft bags and a fixed date;
• Water-sports trips to Golden Beach and Pounta, where the wind in the strait between Paros and Naxos is the attraction;
• Island-hopping to Mykonos, Santorini and Naxos, mostly by the fast ferries that leave Parikia through the day;
• Festival and village weekends in Naoussa and Lefkes, from the Fish Festival in early July to the Pirates Festival in late August;
• Connections through Athens, arriving from Britain on a jet and finishing the journey by helicopter, turboprop or ferry.

Day trips do not work on this route. The sector from London alone is close to three and a half hours each way before the island leg is added, so a short stay is planned as separate one-way flights, and we quote it that way.

Empty Legs

An empty leg is a repositioning flight with nobody aboard, offered at a fraction of the usual price. On the Paros route the supply comes from the gateways, where aircraft arrive with a party and leave empty, and it helps to know where it comes from.

A client who can offer a few days rather than one evening has a far better chance of a match. The price of that flexibility is the usual one: the operator owns the date and the hour, and a leg can disappear when the original booking changes. Whatever is free is listed on our empty legs page, and we flag a Paros match the day an operator releases it.

Helicopter charter

On Paros a helicopter does the job of the last stretch, and a fast ferry competes for it. The work is Athens to the island, a transfer from a gateway on Mykonos or Santorini, and the short hop to a villa on the north coast. An operator listing names a heliport at Naoussa and a four-seat helicopter on the Athens and Cyclades routes.

The usual machines 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.
