Syros Island
National Airport

Only the smallest. Syros has a 3,542 foot runway with ICAO Category 4 fire cover, which limits it to turboprops and a handful of very light jets in favourable conditions. It is not a field for the business jet fleet in general, and we say so rather than quote a landing that will not happen.

18/36 is 1,080 metres, about 3,542 feet, by 98 feet, in asphalt, at 236 feet elevation. Fire cover is Category 4. Both figures place it firmly in turboprop territory.

Yes, PPR applies and handling is mandatory. It is not IATA Level 3 coordinated in the way the larger islands are, but the small apron means capacity is genuinely limited.

Because Ermoupoli, the Cyclades administrative capital, and the island itself are the destination. It is a working Greek island town rather than a resort, with fine neoclassical architecture and a growing following. For anyone going there on a turboprop it is the field; for anyone on a jet it is Mykonos and a ferry.

Mykonos for any jet, with the ferry or a helicopter onward to Syros, about an hour by boat. Syros direct only on a turboprop or very light jet that the runway and fire category permit.

Yes. A jet to Athens or Mykonos and a helicopter onward is the practical answer for most private travellers to Syros, and it avoids the runway question entirely.

Yes, handling at Syros is mandatory through the handler on the field, and it is arranged with the PPR. Jet A-1 is available. The apron is small, so parking for a turboprop stay should be confirmed in advance, and customs for an international arrival is unusual here and must be arranged. We file the PPR and the handling together.

No separate landing permit for EU and most third-country private operations, but the PPR at Syros is a hard requirement and customs must be arranged for an international arrival, which is unusual here.

Yes, but the apron is small and parking is limited. For a turboprop stay it should be confirmed in advance, and the desk does that when it files the PPR and the mandatory handling with the handler on the field. Syros is not IATA Level 3 coordinated like the larger islands, but the small apron means capacity is limited.

The airport opened in 1992 to connect the administrative capital of the Cyclades to Athens, and is named for Dimitrios Vikelas, the Syros-connected writer who was the first president of the International Olympic Committee. It has remained a small domestic field.

Greece is on Eastern European Time, EET in winter and EEST in summer, which is UTC+2 and UTC+3 respectively. Syros is a small domestic field where the PPR and the handler are arranged together, so the desk files the times in UTC and confirms the local arrival with the handler on the field.

Prior permission (PPR) is required at Syros Island National Airport. There is no airline-style slot, but the airport has to approve the movement in advance, and we file it with the handling request so the answer is in hand before the crew plans the day.
