The Mykonos Airport is really busy during the summer, so that Airport parking slots for jets and helicopters can be limited – so we advise to book your flight as far ahead as possible.
Travelers looking to reach the hotspot of Mykonos this summer may be disappointed, if they haven’t yet booked their Private jet or Helicopter. According to past years, landing demand is so moderate that the Mykonos island’s airport is forced to turn away private jets at peak times – with some switching to helicopters instead.
