1 - In peak season, how many planes arrive and depart from Skiathos Airport every day?
2 - Do the planes come in and out all night? I can't remember seeing one very late, but I'm sure I've seen them in the evening. Is there a cut-off time?

I’m not the person to answer this, Yorkshiremouth. I know that some on here are very plane savvy. I don’t hear any planes at night, though, and as we’re in town I think we would.
The last couple of days they have been taking off from the Xanemos end of the runway, for some reason. Possibly wind direction?

They don’t fly all night. Our hostess’s husband used to be a senior member of the ground staff and they didn’t do night flights - but occasional late flights for delays of course.
Numbers vary on different days. Best idea is to google JSI Arrivals/Departures daily for a week to see details.

It varies quite a lot from day to day, Friday is always the busiest. There are 14 flights due in tomorrow but there will be more than that by August, in the past I've seen as many as 12 just from the UK listed but some of those have been cut back (eg only 1 from EMA, used to be 2). Don't know what the official cut off is but there usually aren't many flights after 10pm.

Flights today expected at JSI total 16, 10 are from UK. Rest are from Athens (4) Munich (1) and Rome (1). Flights from Luton, Gatwick and Stanstead all delayed so far to varying degrees. Worst looks to be the Gatwick flight as it comes up as expected departure of 15:10 when it should have left at 07:00 so I guess there will be some unhappy travellers there, especially those that have travelled and stayed overnight to get the early flight.
Further info reveals that the Stanstead flight has actually been cancelled and the people due to travel on it are being bussed to Gatwick to an alternative flight. So there's now a flight from Gatwick at around 15:10 to take th epeople who were originally due to fly from Stanstead.
