What to know
- Not every aircraft is accepted: we check that the one proposed can land there.
- The aircraft may drop the passengers and reposition elsewhere before coming back.
- Athens (LGAV) can serve as a back-up, with a transfer to the island.
High season
In July and August, book as early as possible: parking can be refused.
Key facts: slots, parking and handling
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Slots and permission | Both required; general aviation competes with commercial flights, which have priority, so slots are very limited |
| Slot requests | Possible up to 14 days before the flight; tolerance of 15 minutes, with heavy fines for violations |
| Parking | Generally unavailable in peak season; a Greek NOTAM limits ground time to 40 minutes, typically 1 May to 30 September, so drop-and-go is the main option |
| Peak season | May to October |
| Handling | A general-aviation lounge is mandatory for customs, security and baggage screening; catering needs 24 hours’ notice |
| Alternative | Athens, where the aircraft can park, with a flight or helicopter transfer to the island |

FAQ
Can the aircraft stay in Mykonos?
Not always. It may reposition before returning; the quote says so.
When should I book for Mykonos?
As early as possible for July and August.
Can the jet wait for us in Mykonos?
Rarely in peak season: ground time is typically limited to 40 minutes. The aircraft usually drops passengers and positions elsewhere, such as Athens, then returns. We build this into the quote.
