Airport

Baneasa Airport, also known as Aurel Vlaicu International Airport, is a small airport located in the northern part of Bucharest, Romania. It is named after Aurel Vlaicu, a Romanian aviation pioneer who was the first Romanian to build and fly a powered airplane. Baneasa Airport was originally built in the 1940s and served as Bucharest's main airport until the construction of the larger Henri Coanda International Airport in the 1960s.

Since then, it has been used primarily for domestic and regional flights, as well as for general aviation and business jets. The airport has a single terminal building, which houses a few shops, restaurants, and other amenities. There is also a VIP lounge for business travelers and other high-end passengers.

Distance

The distance between Baneasa Airport and Bucharest city center is approximately 12 kilometers (7.46 miles), which makes it a relatively short journey compared to some other major airports.

Here are three of the most popular routes to reach the city center:

1. Via DN1 and Kiseleff Boulevard: this is a popular route that takes through some of Bucharest's most scenic areas, including the Arcul de Triumf and Herastrau Park. With a private transfer, this journey typically takes around 30 minutes, depending on traffic.
2. Via DN1 and Victoriei Square: another popular route is to take DN1 south to Victoriei Square, one of the busiest and most central parts of the city. With a private car, this journey typically takes around 25 minutes, depending on traffic.
3. Via Soseaua Bucuresti-Ploiesti: for those looking for a quicker route, the best option is the Soseaua Bucuresti-Ploiesti, which is a major road that runs directly from Baneasa Airport to the city center. With a private taxi, this journey typically takes around 20 minutes, depending on traffic.

Public transportation

There are three main public transportation options available from Baneasa Airport:

• Buses: the most convenient bus route from Baneasa Airport to Bucharest is the 780 Express line, that runs from the airport to Gara de Nord (the main train station in Bucharest) and then continues to the city center. The journey takes around 45–50 minutes, depending on traffic, and the bus runs every 55 minutes during the day. The bus company that operates the 780 Express line is called RATB.
• Trains: there is a train station located near Baneasa Airport, called Baneasa Train Station. From here, travellers can take a train to Gara de Nord or other parts of the city. The train journey takes around 20 minutes. Please note that the train station is not located within walking distance of the airport, so you will need to take a taxi or a bus to reach it. The train company is called CFR.
• Metro: the closest metro station to the airport is Aurel Vlaicu, which is on the M2 line. From there, people can take the metro to other parts of the city. The journey takes around 25 minutes. The company that operates the metro system in Bucharest is called Metrorex.

While trains and buses can be less expensive at times, they cannot provide the comfort and convenience that are typical of private airport transfers. In reality, public transportation is often not dependable and is not accessible during early morning or late night hours.
