1. Private Charter: Chisinau to Bucharest

Besides being culturally and linguistically close to each other, Chisinau and Bucharest are also territorially very close, which is why they’re often mistaken to be a part of the same country. The distance between the Moldovan and the Romanian capital is only 486 kilometres. The estimated time in the air is around one hour.

Chisinau to Bucharest: Airport Options

The city of Chisinau has only half a million citizens and welcomes around 30,000 tourists each year, which is why one international airport that sees around 3 million passengers throughout the year is sufficient for the needs of the city.

Chisinau International Airport

The airport is located some 15,6 kilometres away from the city centre. If you go by car, that’s around 26 minutes. On average, taxi fares in Chisinau are around MDL 150 (€8).

Unfortunately, there are no rideshare apps in Chisinau, such as Uber or Bolt, but you can book a ride via an app if you download the Yandex Go taxi app.

If you want a more luxurious, private ride, we recommend these two private chauffeur service providers: Arenda Auto Chisinau and Auto Chisinau Preturi Mici.

Finally, helicopter charters are also a possibility in Chisinau, in case you want a different perspective on the city. You can charter a helicopter ride in Chisinau via Aeroaffaires, Globe Air, and Aimair.md.

Private jet charters from Chisinau are relatively popular, which is why you will encounter as many as 5 FBO handlers at the airport:

Which Jets Can You Fly to Bucharest?

With the exception of the last two routes (Tenerife and Zanzibar), all types of jets are at your disposal to fly to Bucharest.

Usually, turboprops are the most affordable jets and are very convenient for short-haul flights, like those from Chisinau, Ankara, or Palermo.

However, they usually can’t accommodate larger parties and are considered the slowest type of jet. Therefore, if you’re travelling with a larger party, or crossing a longer distance, it’s recommended to pick among the midsize and heavy jets. These are more comfortable and possess more amenities, which is quite convenient if you’re spending several hours on the flight.

Turboprops

Turboprops got their names thanks to their turbine-powered engines. They are usually the cheapest option when it comes to booking private charters. Their range is 2,400 kilometres, on average, but this number varies depending on the model. With a cruising speed of 350 knots, they are the slowest type of jet.

Book your flight via Luxury Aircraft Solutions, and choose among some of these models of turboprops:

King Air 200, 8 passengers
Cessna Grand Caravan, 9 passengers
Fairchild Merlin III B, 9 passengers
Piaggio Avanti II, 7 passengers
Pilatus PC – 12/47, 8 passengers

Light Jets

Light jets have a somewhat longer range than turboprops, around 2,800 kilometres. However, just like with turboprops, the exact number varies, depending on the model.

With an average cruising speed of 400 knots, light jets are a bit faster than turboprops.

Here are light jet models available via luxury Aircraft Solutions:

Citation CJ 3, 8 passengers
Beechjet 400 A, 8 passengers
Nextant 400 Xti, 8 passengers
Citation Bravo, 8 passengers
Citation Encore +, 7 passengers

Midsize and Super-Midsize Jets

If you want to go further than 4,000 kilometres, then you should consider midsize and super-midsize jets, as this is their average range. They are also faster than the previous types of jets, as their average cruising speed is 450 knots.

These jets are also convenient if you want to host larger parties, as they can accommodate a maximum number of 8 or 16 passengers. You can also expect convenient amenities and services, such as pet access, wi-fi, and luxurious catering.

Here are just some of the models you will encounter at Luxury Aircraft Solutions:

Challenger 300, 8 passengers
Gulfstream G-200
Falcon 50, 10 passengers
Citation VII, 7 passengers
Learjet 60, 6 passengers
Hawker 800 A, 8 passengers

Heavy Jets

They do cost the most, but with an average speed of 500 knots or more, they are also the fastest jets, and their range is over 10,000 kilometres, making them a great option for direct cross-continental flights.

Heavy jets available via Luxury Aircraft Solutions are:

Legacy, 600, 13 passengers
Falcon 900, 14 passengers
Gulfstream G-IVSP, 13 passengers
Gulfstream III, 12 passengers
Challenger 601, 12 passengers
