Frequently Asked Questions

The BLAK team answers the most common questions and covers the essentials for those thinking about flying to and from Paros.

Why can landing in Santorini be easier than parking there for a private jet?

Santorini’s runway is capable of handling a wide range of business jets arriving from across Europe and the Mediterranean, so landing itself is usually straightforward. The real challenge is what happens after touchdown. The airport sits on a small island with limited apron space, and during the busy summer season dozens of private aircraft may be arriving on the same day. Ground handlers also need the correct tow bar equipment to move each specific aircraft type, which can further limit parking flexibility. For this reason many private jets land, drop passengers, and then reposition to larger airports such as Athens where parking, fuel and handling capacity are easier to secure before returning later for departure.

What makes the landing into Santorini one of the most spectacular in Europe?

Santorini’s airport sits on the rim of an ancient volcanic caldera, and aircraft approaches often reveal dramatic views of steep cliffs, white villages and the deep blue Aegean below. As aircraft descend toward the island, passengers can often see neighbouring islands such as Ios and Anafi, along with the volcanic islets that sit in the centre of the caldera.

Why do Santorini flights sometimes feel shorter than the distance suggests?

Because most routes across the Cyclades are very direct over open water. Once airborne, aircraft can track straight across the Aegean with few terrain restrictions, meaning flights between islands such as Santorini, Mykonos and Paros are often faster than travellers expect when comparing them with similar distances on the mainland.

Why do people often talk about “the caldera side” when flying privately to Santorini?

Because not all of Santorini feels the same once you land. The island’s western side overlooks the caldera and includes the cliffside settlements most people associate with Santorini, particularly Fira, Imerovigli and Oia. For private jet travellers, this matters because the airport sits away from the cliff edge, so the transfer after landing is part of the island experience. In practical terms, you land on a relatively flat part of the island and then climb toward the dramatic ridge line that defines Santorini’s most famous hotels and views.
