Thessaloniki → Istanbul

A charter from Thessaloniki to Istanbul connects you with Istanbul from its European business gateway: the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar, and the Bosphorus waterfront. At roughly 500 km, the leg suits a light jet. When the time is right, Fly With Andreea will see to every detail.

Chartering a private jet from Thessaloniki to Istanbul (ISL) typically costs between approximately $7,020 and $17,280 one-way, with a light jet starting from around $7,539. Cost moves with aircraft positioning, airport handling, and peak-season demand. The Fly With Andreea team is happy to shape this around your plans.

Your quote is one figure, and it covers the aircraft and its crew for the whole rotation, fuel and any repositioning needed to bring the aircraft to you, landing, handling and airport fees at both ends, FBO use, fast-track formalities and crew briefing, and standard catering and cabin service.
Charged separately, only if it arises: de-icing in winter, which is charged at cost when it is used, ground transport unless you ask us to arrange it, overnight crew accommodation on longer itineraries, special requests such as a named restaurant or a specific vintage, and any change you make after the quote is signed.

From Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki SKG (LGTS) offers full handling at the gateway to northern Greece, approximately 13 km from the centre.

Private operations are handled through dedicated FBO services, with the Turkish DHMI network managed as standard. Whenever it suits you, the Fly With Andreea team can take care of the arrangements.

Yes, your cats and dogs travel in the cabin beside you. Entry requires a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and a health certificate, with destination-specific permits arranged ahead. Our ground team provides a full briefing well ahead of departure. Filed as LTBA in the flight plan, Istanbul ISL reads the same to handlers worldwide. Our advisors at Fly With Andreea are glad to handle the details whenever you are ready.

Yes. At approximately 500 km the sector is inside the range of a light jet and everything above it, so no technical stop is required. A smaller cabin can fly it with a fuel stop, but on a sector of this length most clients prefer to go direct for the time saved.

A light jet seats four to seven passengers in comfort on this route, and a larger cabin takes more. We size the aircraft to the party and the luggage rather than to the headline price, so tell us the numbers and we will show you what each cabin costs on the same day.

A passport valid for the length of your stay, and a visa where your nationality requires one. Immigration and customs are handled at the private terminal rather than in the main hall, which is usually a matter of minutes rather than an hour. Operations file the sector as SKG to ISL. We confirm the requirements against your specific passports before departure.

Twenty-four to seventy-two hours is usually enough to secure the right aircraft on this route. Peak weeks are tighter, and a major event at either end moves availability quickly. Booking earlier widens the choice of cabin and often improves the price, because the aircraft is less likely to need positioning.

Not necessarily per sector, but a one-way can carry a positioning cost if the aircraft has to fly empty to reach you, or empty to get home afterwards. A return where the aircraft waits, or where the crew rests at the destination, often prices better per leg than two separate one-ways. We quote both so you can see the difference before deciding.

Yes. Catering is arranged to your preference, including halal, vegetarian and specific dietary requirements, and can be sourced from a named restaurant if you would like. Flowers, a particular champagne, a specific ground vehicle or an onward helicopter are handled by the same team that arranges the aircraft. The hold takes four to eight suitcases plus cabin bags.
