Unlocking the Mysteries of Slot and Parking Restrictions at Mykonos Airport

Traveling to Mykonos, the most glamorous destination in the world, is an exciting adventure that requires both planning and organization. Every summer, the island welcomes countless visitors, all yearning for its unique beauty and charm.

With the ever-increasing number of travelers visiting the island annually, the Mykonos Airport Authority has imposed certain restrictions regarding aircraft slots and parking. These restrictions help regulate the busy airspace and ensure the safety of travelers.

Rather than booking your private jet flight for Mykonos at the last minute, GreekAirTaxiNetwork advises to plan ahead to guarantee a successful trip. We warn that last minute planning might leave you with a revised schedule or an increased cost. Furthermore, the airports may even reach full capacity and not accept any new departure/landings. As an alternative, we offer you an option of departure/land in a less busy airport or to book one of our helicopters to your final destination.

Greece Heads to the Polls in 2023 Elections: Last minute flight

Contact us at charter@merkurair.gr  to book your flight

        Greece will head to the polls on 21 May for parliamentary elections which experts predict will be unlikely to produce an outright winner in the first round.  There are around 9.8 million registered voters, including 440,000 young people, aged 17 to 21, who are eligible to vote for the first time.
The 2023 elections in Greece come at an important time for the country. With the global pandemic taking its toll on businesses, public services, and citizens alike, Greece is facing a long and difficult path ahead to economic recovery. On top of this, the country is facing great uncertainty over its relationship with the European Union and its lingering financial woes. Needless to say, the stakes in the upcoming election are high. For the Greek people, the 2023 elections could prove to be decisive in either reinforcing the status quo or ushering in sweeping change. As both major parties jostle for power, the policies they propose and the promises they make could have a significant impact on the future of Greece. Inevitably, the election will be driven by issues such as job creation, debt relief, public spending, and the economy in general. But with a mountain of problems to tackle, can Greece successfully overcome these obstacles? We'll have to wait and see.

Airport vs Heliport

It is a common knowledge in the iundustry that Airports don't like helicopters and helicopters dont like airports..

Unless the helicopter has to opertae from an airport because requires refueling, emmigration or customs clearance, the helicopter is advisalbe to operate from licenesed heliport or a helipad. To the aircarft operators that earn their money from the pasenger's taxes and parking (that goes with the weight of the aircraft) the helicopter is a hassle. Also, usually an additional charge in the Airport is aproximately 300 -400 euros for movement. Some popular airport , inpose VIP charges apxt 2500 euro per movement. Fuirther more to obtain a slot and a parking permit is 'mission impossible'.

A licensed heliport operates with the safety/operational standarts of an airport. At the helipad the landing is at pilots' descretion. Operators have on their operating manuals set proceedures to safe guard smooth operations at various helipads.

For more details you can contact our operations conrollers.
