Bucharest Private Jet Charter Flights
Once you land in Baneasa, you’re already in Bucharest: the “Primaverii” villas and King Michael I Park are located between the runway and the city center. Most private jet passengers have meetings in the Pipera and Barbu Văcărescu office towers or head out that same evening for dinner in Floreasca. Others come for the music. Every two years, the George Enescu Festival brings together international orchestras at the Romanian Athenaeum and the Palace Hall.
Most private jet passengers use the Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport (BBU), which has primarily served business aviation since 2012. Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP) in Otopeni is the main aviation hub and an excellent alternative for private flights. For trips to ski resorts, Brașov-Ghimbav International Airport (GHV) serves as the gateway to the Carpathians. Bucharest offers visitors the historic facades of Calea Victoriei and the restaurant scene in the Dorobanti neighborhood, which alone is worth staying an extra night for.
What Does a Private Jet to or from Bucharest Cost?

These hourly rates vary depending on aircraft category, model, year of manufacture, onboard amenities, flight time, and itinerary. They include aircraft-specific costs, such as the aircraft, maintenance, crew, insurance, and fuel.
Private Jet Airports near Bucharest
Almost all private jet flights to Bucharest and the mountains to the north are served by three airports.
- Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport (BBU): located approximately 5 miles north of downtown Bucharest, within the city limits. The runway is over 10,000 feet long, and since low-cost airlines left this airport in 2012, we recommend Baneasa Airport for most flights.
- Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP): located about 10 miles north of downtown Bucharest, in the city of Otopeni. Its two 11,483-foot runways can accommodate any large aircraft, and this is the right choice if your flight connects with a flight operated by an airline.
- Brașov-Ghimbav International Airport (GHV): Approximately 105 miles north of Bucharest and 6 miles from Brasov. The airport opened in 2023 with a 9,252-foot runway, and it is the closest airport to the Poiana Brașov ski slopes.
Baneasa Airport primarily serves business aviation, so passengers on private jets rarely encounter crowds of commercial airline passengers.
- Lounges: Service agents at Baneasa Airport manage VIP lounges, where you can work or wait before your flight. Romania is part of the Schengen Area for air travel, so flights from Vienna, Nice, or Mykonos proceed without passport control, while flights from Dubai undergo border control.
- Ground Transportation: A car with a driver can meet you right at the plane, if airport regulations permit. It’s a short drive from Baneasa Airport to offices on Primaverii or Floreasca streets.
- Aircraft Services: Fueling and ground power are standard services. In winter, thanks to de-icing, morning departures run on schedule, and in summer, ground power or cabin cooling can be requested prior to landing.
- Concierge Services: Our team can book a suite near Calea Victoriei, reserve a table at Dorobant, and arrange catering for your flight home. For ski trips, we can arrange for a car to be waiting for you in Brașov-Himbava to take you to Poiana Brașov.
