🏢 Terminal Information
Bucharest Băneasa Aurel Vlaicu International Airport (BBU) serves the city of Bucharest, Romania. Historically the city's main airport, it now primarily functions as a hub for business aviation, private jets, and occasional low-cost carrier or charter flights, offering a more convenient and often quicker alternative for travelers to and from the city center compared to Henri Coandă International Airport (OTP). The terminal building is a smaller, classic structure that has undergone modernization to efficiently cater to its specialized clientele.\n\nSecurity and immigration procedures at BBU are streamlined due to the lower volume of passenger traffic. While all standard checks are in place, the process is typically much quicker than at larger commercial airports. For business aviation and private flights, access is often managed through Fixed Base Operators (FBOs), providing a discreet and personalized service. International customs and immigration are activated for arriving and departing international flights. It is advisable for visitors to have their travel documents and any necessary authorizations readily available.\n\nAmenities within the terminal include a small café or snack bar offering refreshments and light meals. Lounges are available, primarily catering to business aviation clients, providing comfortable and quiet spaces for work or relaxation. Free Wi-Fi may be available. For ground transportation, taxis are readily available, and pre-arranged private transfers are common for business travelers, offering quick access to Bucharest's central districts. The airport's proximity to the city center is a significant advantage, making it a preferred choice for those seeking efficiency and convenience.
🔄 Connection Tips
