Mykonos International Airport (IATA code: JMK, ICAO code: LGMK) is located on the southwestern side of the island, around 3 km from Mykonos Town and 3 km also from the port.
It is one of the busiest airports in the Cyclades, as it receives numerous domestic and international flights on a daily basis, especially during the high season.
It started operating in 1971 and was renovated in 2021. Its design combines the Cycladic style with modern architecture.

Both charter and commercial flights connect Mykonos to other destinations in Greece, as well as several metropolitan areas in Europe. Olympic Air, Aegean Airlines, and Sky Express are the national companies for domestic flights, connecting Mykonos to the cities of Athens and Thessaloniki.

In addition to the scheduled airline flights, the airport also receives private jets, helicopters, smaller aircraft, and other charter flights from Greece and other countries.
The airports of Naxos, Paros, Santorini, and Syros lie very close to one another, due to the small distances between the islands.
