Live empty leg flights to and from Bucharest, and in practice Baneasa, straight from the charter operators that fly them.
Checking live availability…We list what operators publish and take no commission. Your enquiry goes to them.
Availability is re-read from operator sources through the day, and each leg carries its timestamp.
The figure shown is the operator's own, for the whole aircraft. Where none is published we say so.
No account needed to browse, no card, and no charge at any point.
Bucharest is a small entry on this board and a consistent one. We have recorded 20 empty leg flights touching the city, 11 leaving and 9 arriving, and 11 of the 20 are still upcoming. Three operators list them.
Almost every one uses Baneasa, the city airport, rather than Otopeni. That is normal for business aviation: Baneasa sits inside the city, handles private traffic, and the airline airport is not where an operator parks a repositioning jet.
The pattern is holiday and business traffic to the south and the Mediterranean. Nice came up three times, then Athens, Kalamata and Bodrum twice each, with Corfu, Larnaca, Naples, Paris Le Bourget, Graz, Sibiu and Cluj once. The aircraft are midsize: the Gulfstream G200 and the Hawker 900XP six times each, then the Citation XLS+, the HondaJet, two Challengers and a Citation M2.
A leg listed as Bucharest is almost certainly Baneasa. If the airport matters to you, ask the operator when you enquire: the two fields are half an hour apart and the handling is not the same.
For what a seat works out at across the whole board, by aircraft type and in the operator's own currency, see how much an empty leg private jet costs.
Where an operator publishes a price it is shown exactly as listed, as a whole-aircraft figure rather than a per-seat fare. Where none is published the card says so rather than estimating.
Not one of the twenty carried a published price. Every card here reads Price on enquiry, and we would rather say that than estimate a number.
Athens and Vienna are about an hour and a half from Bucharest by midsize jet, Nice and Paris nearer two and a half. You can also browse the whole list by aircraft type.
We have recorded 20 empty leg flights touching Bucharest, with departures between 4 August and 11 October 2026: 11 leaving, 9 arriving, across 15 partner airports. The airports that came up most were Nice (3), Athens (2), Kalamata (2), Bodrum (2), Corfu (1), Larnaca (1), Naples (1), Paris Le Bourget (1). 7 different aircraft types appeared, most often the Gulfstream G200 (6), the Hawker 900XP (6), the Citation XLS+ (3), the HondaJet (2).
Twenty flights, three operators, fifteen partner airports and no published price on any of them. Bucharest is a small, steady corner of this board that answers by phone.
These are counts from our own board over that window, so they reflect the operators we read rather than the whole market, and they are a record of what was listed, not a forecast. New legs appear with days of notice, which is what the route alert is for.
An empty leg exists because of the paid charter around it, so it can be sold or moved without notice. Every listing here is recorded from what the operator published, with the date we last saw it. Treat it as a strong indication rather than a guarantee, and confirm with the operator before planning around it.
Empty Leg List is a listing service. We are not a broker, not an operator, and not party to any booking, and we take no commission. Your enquiry goes to the operator covering the route, who confirms availability and final price with you directly. If nothing matches, set a route alert and we email you when a leg on that corridor is listed.
Working out the busiest corridors…
Working out which aircraft show up…
Live legs leaving from, or landing at, other airports within 150 km of BBU. A leg from an airport an hour's drive away can be the one that fits; the distance shown is from BBU to the airport the leg uses, in a straight line.
Every leg we have recorded with one end at Bucharest since 30 July 2026, whether it is still on the board or not. A leg leaves the board when the operator stops publishing it, and we cannot tell from outside whether it was sold or withdrawn, so these are counts of what was listed, not of what flew.
One bar per calendar month, from the first month in our record to the furthest date an operator has published so far. Grey bars are months already past, gold is this month and the months ahead. A blank month is a month we have no record for, and before August 2026 that means we were not yet recording. The months ahead hold only what operators have published up to now, and most empty legs appear days or weeks before departure, so those bars will keep growing. The shape says how far ahead operators publish, not how busy a month will be.

Legs out left Bucharest, legs in landed at Bucharest. Airports are named as the operator published them, so a row is whatever the operator wrote. The few legs where both ends resolve to Bucharest are counted above but have no other end to list.
