Mykonos Airport (JMK) History
In the 1960s, Mykonos became increasingly established as a popular tourist destination. In order to meet the growing numbers of visitors, especially in the summer months, an airport was built on Mykonos and opened in 1971. Several upgrades followed to keep the airport up to date with the intention of further boosting tourism on the island. In December 2015, Mykonos Airport was privatised and has since been run by Fraport AG and the Copelouzos Group. Fraport Greece has managed the airport since 2017 and has planned further development work. Today, Mykonos Airport records nearly 12,000 flights every year, handling nearly one million passengers.
