Falcon 7X to Mykonos: The Paris-Riviera Summer Run by Private Jet
Every European summer, one route defines private aviation glamour: Paris to Mykonos. And one aircraft owns it — the Dassault Falcon 7X, the only ultra-long-range tri-jet in service, with the steep-approach pedigree to handle demanding island runways. Here's the jet, the route, the cost, and how to book it.
TL;DR — The Dassault Falcon 7X — the only ultra-long-range tri-jet in service, 5,950 nm range, Mach 0.90 top speed, steep-approach capable — owns the European summer's signature route: Paris to Mykonos, about 3 hours, roughly $35K-$50K one-way. Bookable through VOLO.
The Aircraft: Three Engines, No Compromise
The Falcon 7X is the only ultra-long-range tri-jet flying — three engines for redundancy and steep-approach performance, a 5,950 nm range, and a top speed of Mach 0.90. That third engine and Dassault's fly-by-wire pedigree give it short-field and steep-approach margins that matter on exactly the kind of constrained island and mountain runways the jet-set summer demands.
The Route: Why Paris-Mykonos Is the Summer's Signature Leg
Each June through September, the private-aviation map tilts toward the Mediterranean, and no city pair is more iconic than Paris to Mykonos. Depart Le Bourget (LFPB) — Europe's busiest business-aviation airport — and land directly on the Cyclades about three hours later. The 7X handles Mykonos (LGMK) and its neighbours (Santorini, Ibiza, Olbia) with ease, and has the legs to push on to the Gulf or across the Atlantic afterward. It's the same Riviera season that puts Nice and Le Bourget at the top of Europe's busiest-airports ranking.
The Cost
Falcon 7X hourly rates typically run $11,000-$15,000, putting a one-way Paris-Mykonos leg around $35,000-$50,000 depending on dates and ground time — peak August weekends at the top of the band.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the range of the Dassault Falcon 7X?+
The Falcon 7X has a range of approximately 5,950 nautical miles at Mach 0.80 and a top speed of Mach 0.90. That comfortably covers Paris-Mykonos with huge reserves, and also opens transatlantic and Middle East city pairs non-stop. It's the only ultra-long-range tri-jet (three engines) in service.
Why is the Falcon 7X good for Greek-island airports like Mykonos?+
The 7X inherits Dassault's steep-approach certification and excellent short-field performance, which matter at constrained island and Alpine runways. Mykonos (LGMK) has a single relatively short runway with terrain considerations; the 7X's three-engine configuration, slow approach speeds and strong climb give it margins many large-cabin twins don't have, while still offering a true ultra-long-range cabin.
How long is the flight from Paris to Mykonos by private jet?+
Roughly 3 hours from Paris (Le Bourget LFPB) to Mykonos (LGMK), depending on winds and routing. On a Falcon 7X you'd typically depart Le Bourget, the busiest business-aviation airport in Europe, and arrive directly at the island — no connections, no commercial terminal.
How much does it cost to charter a Falcon 7X?+
Falcon 7X hourly rates typically run $11,000-$15,000. A one-way Paris-Mykonos leg is therefore on the order of $35,000-$50,000 depending on dates, positioning and ground time; peak summer weekends sit at the top of the band. VOLO itemizes every quote and surfaces empty-leg opportunities that can reduce cost substantially on flexible dates.
