- Airport hours, customs, slots and restrictions must be confirmed with the airport. Runway length alone does not establish operational suitability.

Bucharest's close-in airport, 20 minutes from Piața Victoriei, reborn since 2022 as a business-aviation and VIP airport with renovated terminals and a long runway. Light commercial traffic returned in 2025 but GA remains the priority; customs on site.
