Blackbushe Airport is a long-established general aviation airfield positioned on the borders of Hampshire, Surrey and Berkshire, and it serves a specific part of the wider London private jet charter market very well. Located approximately 60 kilometres southwest of central London, it is best understood as an airport for lighter charter aircraft and for travellers heading to the western and southwestern side of the capital rather than deep into central London itself.

Frequently Asked Questions
The BLAK team answers the most common questions and covers the essentials for those thinking about flying to and from Bucharest.
Why do many private jets choose Băneasa instead of Henri Coandă Airport?
Aurel Vlaicu International Airport is significantly closer to the centre of Bucharest than the main international airport. For travellers staying in central hotels or visiting government offices and business districts, this can make a noticeable difference to total journey time. While Henri Coandă International Airport sits about 16 kilometres from the city centre, Băneasa is roughly half that distance, meaning transfers can often take only 15–20 minutes depending on traffic. Because of this proximity, Băneasa has become one of the preferred arrival points for business aviation flights into the Romanian capital.

What types of private jets commonly fly into Bucharest?
Flights into Bucharest range from smaller regional aircraft to large long-range business jets. Aircraft such as the Citation XLS+, Phenom 300 and Challenger 350 frequently operate routes between Bucharest and major European cities. Larger aircraft like the Falcon 2000, Global 6000 and Gulfstream G650 also visit regularly, particularly for longer-distance flights.

Is helicopter transfer into central Bucharest possible?
Yes. Helicopters can operate into locations such as the Crystal Tower Heliport, which sits within the city’s central business districts. This allows passengers arriving at Henri Coandă Airport to transfer by helicopter and reach the city centre in around 10 minutes, bypassing the heavy road traffic that Bucharest is known for. For business travellers with tight schedules, this can significantly reduce transfer times.

How long does it take to reach central Bucharest after landing?
Transfer times depend on the airport used. From Henri Coandă Airport, the journey into central Bucharest typically takes around 25–35 minutes depending on traffic. From Băneasa Airport, which sits closer to the city centre, transfers can often be completed in roughly 15–20 minutes.
