Private Jet Mykonos to Exumas

The long transatlantic route from Mykonos to the Exumas covers approximately 5,058 nautical miles, linking the Cyclades of the Aegean with the scattered cays of the Bahamas in around nine and three quarter hours. The distance rewards a heavy or ultra-long-range jet, and aircraft such as the Gulfstream G650ER or the Bombardier Global 7500 are ideally suited to the leg, offering the range to make the crossing non-stop with reserves to spare and spacious cabins built for long-sector comfort. Cruising as high as fifty-one thousand feet, these jets ride above the weather across the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, arriving where the turquoise shallows of the Bahamian archipelago begin. Departures are handled at Mykonos International Airport, gateway to one of the most glamorous of the Greek islands, where private handling ensures a smooth start with international arrangements made in advance. Arrivals are made at Exuma Airport, the gateway to the chain of some three hundred and sixty cays that make up the Exumas. This is one of the most beautiful corners of the Bahamas, celebrated for its impossibly clear waters, its sandbars and secluded anchorages, the swimming pigs of Big Major Cay, and the marine park that protects its reefs and wildlife. This route suits leisure travellers moving between two of the world’s most storied island destinations, exchanging the whitewashed villages of the Aegean for the sands of the Caribbean. The generous cabin of an ultra-long-range aircraft is essential over so long a sector, allowing a party to arrive in the islands rested and composed, ready to explore the cays by boat and settle into the unhurried rhythm of the Bahamas.
