ROUTE INTELLIGENCE · AIRCRAFT RECOMMENDATION ENGINE
BEST VALUE
Midsize
The Cessna Citation VII clears both runways and has range headroom on the 1,155 nm leg without stepping up into a larger, more expensive cabin — the lowest hourly cost that still handles this pair reliably.
Indicative all-in €11,300
FASTEST
Heavy
On 1,155 nm the Dassault Falcon 50EX carries the highest cruise speed in the eligible short-list. The saving is roughly 15 minutes of block time against the smallest eligible class — worth it on a same-day return, marginal otherwise.
Indicative all-in €21,800

On Copenhagen → Athens, aircraft positioning is the biggest lever on price today.
PRICE DRIVERS
Aircraft based off-route are repositioned to Copenhagen before pickup — the shorter that leg, the more competitive the quote.
If the aircraft can't pick up a return charter from Athens, the empty repositioning leg is baked into your quote.
Landing, handling and ramp fees on CPH–ATH are set field by field — CPH and ATH each carry their own coordinated-airport surcharge profile.
Across 1,155 nm the fuel uplift is a bounded line item on CPH–ATH, not the driver of the quote.
Copenhagen → Athens demand cycles pull the 1,155 nm sector off its low band on peak weeks.
Ramp capacity at ATH constrains the lift available for 1,155 nm inbounds from Copenhagen — operators quote accordingly.
Weather rarely re-prices CPH–ATH beyond marginal fuel adjustments over 1,155 nm.
Slot coordination at ATH — peak-season Saturdays especially — forces earlier commitment on Copenhagen departures and raises handling on CPH–ATH.
At 1,155 nm, CPH–ATH sits far inside a single crew duty period — no augmented crew cost.
Overnight parking at ATH is normally available and adds a defined ramp and handling fee to the CPH–ATH quote.
SAVING OPPORTUNITIES
Saving levers on Copenhagen → Athens
If the aircraft is already positioned closer to another Copenhagen-area field, using it reduces positioning cost and often trims 5–15% off the quote.
Alternative arrivals near ATH can trim handling and slot pressure on CPH–ATH — see the airport comparison above.
CPH ↔ ATH (1,155 nm) is a corridor we monitor for empty legs — set an alert and match one when your dates flex.
Departing 2–4 hours off the peak slot window at CPH drops handling and slot fees on the 1,155 nm run to ATH.
1,155 nm is inside super-midsize range, so a category step down from heavy metal on CPH–ATH cuts the quote with almost identical cabin comfort.

Nonstop feasibility
Well within super-midsize range — comfortably nonstop on this corridor.
Typical flight level
FL370–FL430 across 1,155 nm on CPH–ATH
Typical routing
Direct CPH–ATH routing, 1,155 nm great-circle with negligible airway detour.
Runway
the shorter runway on this pair clears heavy metal unrestricted.
Fuel stop likelihood
No fuel stop on 1,155 nm; CPH–ATH is a single-sector mission for every class we quote.
Cabin service
Light catering only — 1,155 nm block time leaves no window for a galley service.
Best departure time
Mid-morning (10:00–12:00) departure from CPH clears the weekday slot peak and lands ATH before midday handling pressure.

Full-charter one-way, desk quote
€9,700 – €22,300
Midsize through Heavy over 1,155 nm CPH–ATH, all-in of landing, handling, crew and fuel surcharge. Weekend and peak-season departures out of CPH sit at the upper end.
Price stand: August 2026. CPH–ATH quotes move with fuel, crew duty and slot availability — we re-price at the point of booking.
CPH–ATH supply — workable
CPH — 16 archived movements (10 out / 6 in) from 6 operators. ATH — 101 archived movements (47 out / 54 in) from 21 operators. The thinner end sets the price on CPH–ATH: 24–48h notice materially improves the quote.
Positioning into Copenhagen (CPH)
When the based fleet is committed, the next CPH–ATH lift comes from EKCH (0 nm, 2 aircraft), EKRK (18 nm, 6 aircraft), ESMS (25 nm, 1 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Positioning into Athens (ATH)
When the based fleet is committed, the next CPH–ATH lift comes from LGAV (0 nm, 15 aircraft), LGMG (28 nm, 6 aircraft), LTBJ (153 nm, 1 aircraft). Those ferries add roughly 20–45 minutes of billed time, which is why identical requests can quote differently on the same day.
Athens (ATH)
Charter movement in our archive concentrates in July and August (96% of 101 recorded legs), and falls away in September. For CPH–ATH that means booking the peak weeks 2–3 weeks out: the based fleet sells out first, then ferried lift, then nothing, while September is where negotiation actually works.
Global 7500 / Gulfstream G650 on a short sector
Over 1,155 nm an ultra-long-range cabin bills roughly €8,100/hour for a flight measured in single-digit hours, and rarely repositions economically to this pair. You pay ULR money for a cabin you cannot use.
Empty Legs
Repositioning legs departing CPH within 14 days, priced per aircraft for up to 19 seats.
