Mykonos to London is about 3 h 39 in the air across 2,568 km, off the single runway at Mykonos Island National and into Luton, Biggin Hill or Farnborough, normally on a super-midsize jet. From €22 100 for the whole aircraft, one way. Send the dates and the passenger count and a written quotation follows inside 30 minutes; the operations desk is staffed at every hour on +357 95 119759.
The leg home, flown non-stop in about three and three-quarter hours. The scheduled version of the same journey normally goes through Athens and costs most of a day. Whole aircraft, single seats and empty legs.
REQUEST A QUOTEEverything awkward about this route sits at the Mykonos end, and on the way out you meet it as a departure problem rather than an arrival one. The island's business-aviation year is essentially June to September, and inside it a single-runway field on a small Cycladic island absorbs the private traffic of half of Europe. What August rations is ramp space rather than runway capacity: crews drop their passengers and reposition to Athens for the night, so the aircraft that takes you home has often flown in that morning to collect you. The compensation is the empty-leg board, which out of Mykonos is unusually full in high summer.
At the departure end there is nothing to choose: one runway, and a ramp that decides when an aircraft can be there for you. The choice is at the London end, where three fields will take you, and it is worth making on the drive at the far side rather than on the few kilometres between them.
| Airport | Codes | Great-circle | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mykonos | JMK / LGMK | 2,568 km | Where you start. One runway, a season four months long, finite ramp parking, and in July and August a meltemi that can blow hard enough to affect operations. None of this is chosen; it is worked around. |
| Athens | ATH / LGAV | 2,443 km from Luton | Not your destination on this leg, and often not the aircraft's either - but it is where the aircraft may have spent the previous night, and it remains the practical alternate when Mykonos is full or windy. |
| London Luton | LTN / EGGW | arrival | The default arrival and the deepest pool of super-midsize aircraft in the UK, which is part of why an aircraft can usually be found for the leg home. Land here for North London and the M1. |
| London Biggin Hill | BQH / EGKB | 2,515 km | The shortest of the three sectors to the island at 2,515 km, and the quickest way onto the ground if you are going to south or south-east London, Kent or the City. |
| Farnborough | FAB / EGLF | 2,562 km | 2,562 km, no scheduled traffic and the fastest turn on the ground of the three - the field to ask for when you want to be in a car towards Surrey, Hampshire or the west with the least delay after the wheels stop. |
Codes and coordinates come from the OurAirports open dataset, retrieved 23 August 2026. The Luton movement count is EBAA 2023, via Private Jet Card Comparisons, 4 June 2024. Mykonos does not appear in the EBAA European top fifty for 2023.
At 2,568 km this is a super-midsize sector: far enough that a midsize type starts trading luggage for fuel, short enough that a heavy jet is a comfort decision rather than a necessary one. Going home, the practical question is usually which of the three can be on the island for your hour and how much hold you need.
Eight to nine passengers, 5,926 km of range and three cubic metres of hold - the largest hold of the three, which is why it is normally first on the list for a group of eight coming off a fortnight.
See the Bombardier Challenger 350 ›Eight to eleven passengers, the biggest seat count here, with a 2.83 cubic metre hold. The type that takes two families home in one aircraft instead of two.
See the Cessna Citation Sovereign+ ›Ten passengers, 6,667 km of range and 893 km/h, the fastest of the three. It earns the difference when the aircraft has somewhere else to be immediately after it drops you.
See the Gulfstream G280 ›Each of the three has its own page in our fleet. When the party is larger than that, a Legacy 650 or Challenger 605 covers the same sector.

Four months, and the way out of the island reads differently in each of them. Nothing about booking a departure here behaves normally in August.
| Period | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| June | The season opens. The weather is settled, the island is not yet full and the ramp still has room, so an aircraft can usually be there for the hour you actually want to leave. | Two to three weeks is comfortable, and this is the best value of the four months. |
| July and August | Peak, and on the way out the squeeze arrives twice. Ramp parking at Mykonos is the binding constraint, and the meltemi can affect operations for days at a time. The aircraft collecting you has commonly overnighted in Athens. | Six weeks or more. Ask where the aircraft is coming from before it picks you up - that leg is in the quotation. |
| September | The best combination of weather and ramp space in the whole season. EUROCONTROL's analysis of European business flying identifies June and September as the genuine annual peaks, with a dip in between. | Two to three weeks. |
| October to May | The island closes, and the route closes with it. | If you do have to leave, short notice is entirely realistic. |
