Private Jet Charter from Thessaloniki
Thessaloniki is the northern Greek gateway and an under-appreciated charter market: the city anchors year-round corporate flying for the Balkans-facing trade and logistics base, summer leisure routes via Halkidiki (no fixed-wing field; SKG + road transfer), and a meaningful shipping-owner secondary residence flow. Macedonia International (SKG) is the single jet field with a small but well-equipped executive terminal; Kavala (KVA) and Sofia (SOF) act as alternates and the Balkan-corridor flying out of SKG is meaningfully shorter than the equivalent ATH-origin missions.

FAQs — Chartering from Thessaloniki
Can I land closer to Halkidiki than SKG?
No — there is no fixed-wing jet field on the Halkidiki peninsulas. Standard pattern is SKG + 60–90 minute road transfer to Sani, Kassandra or Sithonia. Helicopter from SKG is offered seasonally.
Is SKG a viable Balkan staging field?
Yes — SKG is materially closer to Sofia, Skopje, Tirana and Pristina than ATH, and the corporate-corridor flying out of SKG is roughly 60–90 minutes shorter than the equivalent ATH-origin missions.
Can SKG handle a heavy jet?
Yes with payload planning — the 2,440m runway accepts up to Challenger 650 and Global 6000 at most takeoff weights; full-fuel Global 7500 missions typically position via ATH.
