Private Jet Between Santorini and Mykonos

The route between Mykonos and Santorini is among the most in-demand private flight corridors in the Aegean, driven by the growing number of luxury leisure travellers visiting both islands each summer.

At Zela Jet, we specialise in bespoke private flight and helicopter charter services on the Mykonos–Santorini route, offering flexible scheduling, competitive pricing, and a curated fleet to match every group size and preference.

Why Choose a Helicopter for This Route?

For the short Mykonos–Santorini hop, Zela Jet recommends a private helicopter for most travellers. Here is why:

Speed & convenience: Depart from Mykonos Airport helipad and land directly in Santorini in under 45 minutes.
Cost-effective on short routes: Helicopters are more economical per trip than jets over distances under 200 km.
Flexible scheduling: Avoid commercial airline and ferry timetables entirely — fly on your schedule.
Private helipads: Santorini has multiple helipad landing sites, letting you bypass congested Santorini Airport (JTR) during peak season.
Spectacular Aegean views: Low-altitude flight over the Cyclades with panoramic windows for unforgettable aerial photography.

Aircraft Options

While a helicopter is our top recommendation for this route, Zela Jet can arrange a light or mid-size private jet if your group size or preference requires it. Key considerations:

Single-engine helicopters: Seats 3–4 passengers. Most economical option for couples or small groups.
Twin-engine helicopters: Seats up to 6 passengers. Preferred by clients prioritising dual-engine safety redundancy.
Light jets (e.g., Citation CJ series): Suitable for groups of 5–7. Note: Santorini Airport has slot restrictions in July–August so early booking is essential.

Which Aircraft Is Best for This Route?

Zela Jet gives you the freedom to select any aircraft for your flight. However, for the Mykonos–Santorini hop, a private helicopter is our recommended choice. Helicopters offer greater scheduling flexibility, lower per-trip cost on short routes, and the ability to land at private helipads, avoiding congested airport slots during peak summer season.

If you prefer a light or mid-size private jet, please note that Santorini Airport (JTR / LGSR) has slot restrictions in high season. Our team will advise the best aircraft for your specific dates and group size. Browse our fleet page for aircraft specifications and capacity.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. Punctual, professional, and incredibly attentive, with a smooth flight and personalized service throughout. Special thanks to Kostas, who was always there for taking care of our needs and managed to accommodate our requests. Highly recommended for premium helicopter travel.

We had a fantastic long weekend in Santorini and Mykonos to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday, and flying with ZelaJet helicopter made the experience truly unforgettable. From start to finish, the service was exceptional — seamless assistance with transfers, perfect coordination with our hotels, and outstanding punctuality and professionalism.

Our captain was incredibly skilled and knowledgeable about the Cyclades region, making us feel safe and well-guided throughout. Soaring above the sparkling Aegean and admiring the Cycladic islands from the sky is a memory our family will cherish forever.

A heartfelt thank you to Kostas for his dedicated support throughout the entire journey. Highly recommended!

We spent 2 weeks honeymooning in Greece, and ZelaJet was one of the best parts of our trip. I know that may sound crazy, but the service, the experience, and the time we spent working with and enjoying the amenities Zela offers made it one of the most memorable aspects of our time.

Kostas helped us from the very beginning of our inquiry and helped get us two helicopters (one from Ios to Milos and the second from Milos to Chania). He was prompt, professional, and made the experience seamless. Pricing was also competitive with other operators in the area.

Our pilot, Tony, was equally amazing. He was friendly, prompt, and helped guide us through the whole experience. This was our first time flying in a helicopter, and he made it fun and talked us through everything.

I would implore anyone considering private transportation services to book with ZelaJet. There is no part of the experience that was anything less than top-notch, and there is no reason to consider any alternative.

We will absolutely use ZelaJet in the future. Heck, we are going to revisit Greece sooner rather than later just so we can use them again! It was truly that amazing of an experience.

I strongly recommend Kostas and the team at Zela Jet!

We hired them for a surprise helicopter trip between Santorini and Mykonos July 2024 for a 50 years celebration, and it was a success! Kostas was very helpful with the initial planning and the pilot was professional and safe. They have many different options to choose from and gave good recommendations.

Captain Dimitrius Stathias was our pilot in what seemed a brand new helicopter. We flew with six people from Milo's to Athens Airport. It was an amazing smooth ride, and our pilot was clearly a seasoned professional. I have been in many helicopters but this one was solid, safe, and even with the rediculous bag size my wife had, able to still get off the ground . Everything was perfect !
