Skiathos Airport Summer 2023 Crazy low landings + Powerful Jetblast Departures! Planespotting in 4K
This video features the famous Skiathos airport. Which includes a high risk visual approach and landing over water and across a busy road at the threshold of the runway with aircraft coming just metres from your head on arrival to runway 01 and also with departures being breathtakingly close to spectators! The entire approach and runway is visible from this well know spot at the end of the runway.
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
- Neos B737s and Max first day of summer ops
- Avanti Dash-8 Q400
- Arkia A321LR unexpected visit
- Air Connect (ex Avianca colours) ATR-72
- Austrian A320 Wet runway landing
- Animawings A320
- SAS A320N behind view of insane Jetblast
Also includes other carriers from around Europe.
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

This is actually a proof in what dumb society we live nowadays, just for a few seconds of filming yourself being cool putting your face into a jet blast...few years back my friend was hit by a stone at the same location right into his face. People should be more aware of the danger they put themself in. No clue why the police does not close the street and area when traffic departs...they do it in Corfu as well...although its not even that close to the jet blast
Agree, breathtaking sharp quality, interestung varity of aircrafts, excellent sound as well- simply perfect!
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…

W0W EPIC !!! AMAZING !!!
Planes are really close! View from end of runway is cool ❤ Beautiful catches 👏
That cloudy rain filled sky is what we had our entire holiday there last June so watching the planes replaced sunbathing..😢
Have been looking forward to this 😝
Absolutely love this edit 💜✈️💜
Nice to meet you. Skiathos Airport, the scenery of departure and arrival is impressive. The feeling is similar to Osaka Itami Airport in Japan. Thank you very much for the beautiful shooting. I have subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to another good video.
Great video!! I loved watching it!
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!! 😎👍
Going to Skiathos in August!!! Seems really awesome 😎 🤩
Amazing video! My favorite location .D

Heads up😮
Awesome video .
wow, amazing landing, so close
The red and white zebra-plane at 11:22 is so pretty and sweet. Such a lovely red nose as well. If I ever get a lot of money, I will buy a cheerful private jet like that.
I fles to Skiathos. It really is sensational.
The bigger the engines, the powerful jetblast will be strong! 😎
i dont understand ehy this channell has only got about 3000 subs you deserve definitely more

Ich bin immer wieder froh, dass nichts passiert und die Piloten, die dort landen dürfen, es immer wieder schaffen. In den 90'er Jahren war ich sehr oft dort. Tatsächlich war einmal für eine Maschine von All Italia damals ( über die Xanemos- Seite anfliegend) die Landebahn nicht ganz ausreichend und sie mähte den damaligen Maschendrahtzaun nieder und stoppte mit dem Vorderrad gerade noch kurz vor dem Wasser, halb auf der Straße hängend. Gruselig.
Amazing capture ! Would you mind if I use part of this video , in one of my next episodes?Of course with a link back to your original video. Peace!

great👍 captures. it’s much cooler to c aircraft close up, & 🙏thx to skiathos, we have an airport that gives us close ups. it’d b cool if every airport in the world has close up spotting areas. 1:28:56-1:29:48 🤣. 1:48:54-1:49:02 bro tried to b michael jackson 😂.

At 15:20 funny climbing and funny livery. In fact, terrible livery from those Condors.

I noticed the dip aswell on rotation with the condor departure
I mean even a 2200 meters runway scares me to land with a heavy a321. I would freak out there.

I believe it was a one off so I was quite lucky. It came in from Kalamata which they do operate there every so often
Watch the wizz air one 😂😂
Great video notice that skiathos airport doesnt have an ils approach and can't serve planes biger than a-321 or b-767 in the past all flights from neighbor counties like Israel Romania even Italy are deserved by non jet planes like atr72 or bombardier q400
In 30.32: mußte die Maschine die Landung abbrechen und wieder durchstarten in der Dunkelheit?

True.... But it smells so damn good
why the f is this fast forwarded
Is this what European people do on holiday? Stay at the airport and watch planes? .. no eye protection either. .. better be careful. I'm sure they don't have a level 1 trauma center on that island
I'd rather be in the Cockpit then watching this stuff. Kindof boring to me.But thats just me
