Skiathos Airport Summer 2023 Crazy low landings + Powerful Jetblast Departures! Planespotting in 4K

Published 2023-06-30
This airport is commonly referred to as the European St Maarten. But having been to both I would suggest that no airport is like Skiathos in terms of how close you can get to the runway action. So in my eyes this airport is the ultimate location for low landings and Jetblast departures!
This year I didn’t manage to get to the spot on the hill like last year, so check out last years video if you want to see that perspective too, however there was a location just round from the threshold which I tried out which can be found a few times in this video
Filmed freehand using a 4K Sony AX53 video camera.
Videos were shot between June 14th-17th
Some days are a lot busier than others
Sadly I came a week or 2 too early this year as some airlines hadn’t started summer ops as of yet so I’d recommend coming at the end of June earliest for the best action!
And also as seen in the video I got some pretty adverse weather which adds another dimension of fun with some wet runway action and diverts
[Disclaimer] Nobody in this video was seriously injured during the JetBlast however it has been known to happen due to people underestimating the serious power and danger of jet engines, this is done at your own risk and can be enjoyed safely within limits.
Key Movements:
- Condor Red Stripe A321
- Olympic ATR-72
- Transavia Sunweb livery B737-800
- Hellinic Air Force C-130 Herc Touch and Go’s at night

Please go back and watch my videos from Skiathos from the last 2 years. I will try and make Skiathos an annual trip as it serves as both a good holiday and a great place for aviation content

Great compilation and a very interesting airport. May be better as St.Maarten. Big Like.

When I flew out of Skiathos about 20 years ago we had to re-land shortly afterwards at Athens to refuel; we were told that, with the short runway at Skiathos, planes couldn’t take off with a full load of fuel…

Excellent video! We've been there for 14 days, and we found ourselfes in some scenes in this video!! Excellent! And yes, we were the "lucky" ones too, who had to wait for 3 hrs, for the diverted AUSTRIAN 320 coming back from Athens on June 17th! Great holiday, great Airport and again: great video!! 😎👍
