Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to get to Mykonos from Athens?
While commercial flights and ferries service the island, a private helicopter charter is the premier way to travel to Mykonos. It completely eliminates the pain points of peak-season travel—such as overbooked commercial flights, long airport security lines, and heavily congested ports. A private charter offers a direct, exclusive, and immediate connection that operates entirely on your timeline.
How long is the private helicopter flight from Athens to Mykonos?
The flight time is exactly 42 minutes. With zero check-in queues, you transition from the capital’s tarmac to your Mykonos destination in under an hour total.
Why should I choose a private helicopter over a luxury ferry?
Even the most premium ferry experiences bind you to rigid commercial timetables and force you to navigate the chaotic, high-traffic ports of Piraeus or Rafina. Furthermore, rough summer seas can turn a luxury crossing into an uncomfortable journey. A private helicopter bypasses the port crowds entirely, replaces a 4-to-5-hour sea voyage with a seamless, panoramic 42-minute flight, and protects you from motion sickness.
Can I set my own departure time for the Mykonos charter?
Completely. We fly entirely on your schedule. If your incoming international flight or private jet is delayed, your helicopter and crew will adapt and wait for you. Your timeline dictates our operational schedule.
Which helicopters are used for the Mykonos route, and what is the cabin experience like?
We operate a premium, young fleet of twin-engine aircraft including the Airbus H145, Airbus EC135, and Airbus H135. You will experience exceptionally quiet, spacious, and fully climate-controlled cabins fitted with bespoke leather seating and large panoramic windows offering unobstructed views of the Aegean.
What are Airlift’s safety standards and operational credentials?
Safety is our absolute, non-negotiable metric. Airlift brings over 25 years of continuous aviation excellence to the Greek skies. We operate under a full Air Operator Certificate (AOC) and maintain rigorous EASA Part-145 and CAMO certifications. Our aircraft are maintained in-house by factory-trained engineers, and our pilots are among the most seasoned captains in Europe.
Are your flights reliable during the high summer winds (Meltemi winds) in Mykonos?
Summer winds are a reality in the Cyclades, but our fleet is uniquely equipped to handle them. Because we exclusively fly advanced, twin-engine Airbus helicopters, our aircraft possess far superior stability, weight parameters, and power reserves compared to smaller, single-engine alternatives. We maintain a near-perfect dispatch reliability rate, flying safely when minor aircraft are grounded.
How quickly can a helicopter be ready for takeoff after booking?
Usually, 60 minutes are required from final booking confirmation for our crew to have the aircraft prepped, cleared, and ready for departure. However, during the intense peak season months of June through August, demand for aircraft and airport slots is exceptionally high. To secure your preferred departure window, we strongly recommend booking your flight as soon as possible.
