The route

Abu Dhabi → Skiathos.

A private jet from Abu Dhabi to Skiathos connects the UAE capital with the most atmospheric and intimate of the Greek island gateways: the smallest of the Northern Sporades, a pine-forested island whose ochre-and-white old town rises in terraced tiers above a harbour packed with traditional caiques, whose Koukounaries beach is consistently ranked among the finest in Europe, whose sea caves and turquoise hidden coves are best explored by private speedboat, and whose airport is internationally famous among aviation enthusiasts as one of the world's great planespotter locations, with aircraft making a low, dramatic approach over a beach road that is briefly halted by traffic lights during landing. Skiathos is the gateway to the wider Sporades islands of Skopelos (famous from the film Mamma Mia) and Alonissos. At approximately 3,319 km, this sector is well served by a super-midsize jet. Our advisors manage all details 24/7.

Athens (ATH / LGAV, approximately 160 km south-east by air) is the well-equipped major-hub alternative.

Operated under the Fraport Greece/Copelouzos Group concession, with a runway of approximately 1,628 m capable of accommodating aircraft up to a Boeing 757, it handled approximately 600,786 passengers in 2024. The airport is internationally celebrated as a planespotter destination for its low, dramatic hillside approach over a beach road.
