Two of the Mediterranean’s most popular destinations—Mykonos and Bodrum—are separated by less than a 30-minute flight.
But despite the short distance, the route comes with several logistical challenges:
- International Border: Traveling between Greece and Turkey requires customs and immigration clearance.
- Aircraft Parking: Mykonos Airport does not allow long-term parking for private jets. This often necessitates a stopover in Athens, adding extra flight legs (Athens–Mykonos and Mykonos–Bodrum).
- Slot Availability: Mykonos is extremely congested during peak hours (10:00–14:00), making landing slots and permits difficult to secure.
- Aircraft Positioning: Jet availability in Bodrum is limited, with many aircraft needing to be repositioned from Istanbul.
These factors contribute to the complexity—and cost—of operating private flights between Mykonos and Bodrum.
Helicopter transfers are an alternative solution, though they come with weight and luggage restrictions. To avoid the €2,480 VIP tax at Mykonos Airport, we clear customs in Samos (LGSM) when flying by helicopter.
