29Palms - LGMK - Mykonos Airport (MSFS 2024)

Mykonos Airport (IATA: JMK, ICAO: LGMK) is the international airport of the Greek island of Mykonos. It is located four kilometres southeast of Mykonos town at a 405ft elevation. It serves flights to domestic, European and Middle East metropolitan destinations due to the island being a popular leisure destination.

The airport first operated in 1971. It nowadays has a single runway, designated 16-34, which is connected to the apron via two small taxiways, so backtrack is needed for every departure and landing. The apron has been redesigned in 2020 to hold seven (7) parking positions, all of them requiring a pushback procedure. In late 2024 four more parking positions were added (6A, 6B, 7A, 7B). A renovated Terminal and a brand-new Fire station have been completed and delivered in May 2021. Mykonos airport is equipped with an NDB (FREQ:401) and a VOR (FREQ:110.00) navaid and has several instrument procedures (including RNAV).

Mykonos is called 'the island of winds'. Most days of the year strong, gusting winds (usually from North/Northeast), blow at the island and the airport vicinity. Those winds along with the short runway length (6.244ft) and the hills around it make the landing a challenging procedure!

This version is a native MSFS 2024 scenery. It is based on the MSFS2020 scenery including several updates and additions.
