Paros
National Airport

Light jets and turboprops, yes. The new Paros airport, opened in 2016, has a 4,593 foot runway, which suits that end of the market and rules out midsize and larger types. It is slot coordinated but handling is not mandatory, and it is a far less pressured operation than Mykonos or Santorini.

Jet A-1 is available and fire cover is ICAO Category 6, on a single asphalt runway of 4,593 by 98 feet at 125 feet elevation. That combination suits light jets and turboprops and rules out midsize types. Handling is not mandatory, though a handler is used in practice for an international arrival, with customs and immigration arranged.

17/35 is 1,400 metres, about 4,593 feet, by 98 feet, in asphalt, at 125 feet elevation. Fire cover is ICAO Category 6. That is light jet and turboprop territory and it is worth being honest about: a midsize jet booked to Paros will end up at Mykonos or Athens and a boat.

Yes, Paros is slot coordinated through the Hellenic coordinator. Ground handling is not mandatory, which is a difference from the larger island fields. Prior permission is not separately required.

Paros for Paros and Antiparos, on an aircraft that fits. It has none of Mykonos’s 40 minute ground limit and slot scarcity, and it is the quieter, more workable island field. Mykonos for a larger aircraft, with a boat or helicopter onward. Our Paros and Antiparos private jet travel guide covers the island itself.

Yes. A jet to Athens or Mykonos and a helicopter onward to Paros is routine, and for Antiparos it is often the answer outright. Our helicopter charter to Paros guide covers the routes.

No, handling is not mandatory, though a handler is used in practice for an international arrival. Jet A-1 is available. The slot must be allocated through the Hellenic coordinator and customs and immigration arranged for an international arrival, so we file the slot and handling together. Parking is limited in high summer, so we confirm it rather than assume it.

No separate landing permit for EU and most third-country private and charter operations, but the slot at Paros must be allocated and customs and immigration arranged for an international arrival. We file the slot and handling together.

The old Paros airport, a short strip near Alyki, served the island from the 1980s with small turboprops. The new airport opened in July 2016 with a 1,400 metre runway, transforming what the island could receive, and it now takes direct summer flights and light business jets.

Parking is possible and far less constrained than at Mykonos or Santorini, though apron space is limited and it should be confirmed rather than assumed in high summer.

Eastern European Time, EET in winter and EEST in summer, which is UTC+2 and UTC+3 respectively. Paros runs on the same clock as Athens and Mykonos, so a jet to either with a helicopter onward involves no time change. The slot is filed in local time, and we confirm apron space for a high summer arrival under UTC+3.

Yes. Paros National Airport is slot coordinated, so every private movement needs an allocated slot. We file the slot request with the handling booking and confirm it before the aircraft is positioned.
