Transworld Jets Insider Tip

Mykonos in August is among the single busiest private aviation destinations in the Mediterranean. Slots are capped and must be secured weeks in advance. For heavy jet arrivals, Athens (ATH) with a 30-minute helicopter or PC-12 transfer is often the better operational choice. Superyachts provide helicopter transfer directly to their tender at the Mykonos new port.
