Bologna → Istanbul

Chartering a private jet from Bologna to Istanbul (ISL) typically costs between approximately $10,260 and $23,760 one-way, with a midsize jet starting from around $11,020. Pricing reflects aircraft positioning, handling fees, and seasonal demand on the route. Whenever it suits you, the Fly With Andreea team can take care of the arrangements.

Your quote is one figure, and it covers the aircraft and its crew for the whole rotation, fuel and any repositioning needed to bring the aircraft to you, landing, handling and airport fees at both ends, FBO use, fast-track formalities and crew briefing, and standard catering and cabin service.
Charged separately, only if it arises: de-icing in winter, which is charged at cost when it is used, ground transport unless you ask us to arrange it, overnight crew accommodation on longer itineraries, special requests such as a named restaurant or a specific vintage, and any change you make after the quote is signed.

From Bologna, Bologna BLQ (LIPE) offers a general aviation apron in the heart of Emilia-Romagna, approximately 6 km from the centre. In Istanbul, the gateway is Istanbul ISL (LTBA), approximately 24 km out, with a dedicated business and VIP aviation gateway on the European side. Private operations are handled through dedicated FBO services, with the Turkish DHMI network managed as standard. Fly With Andreea looks after the whole journey, on your timing.

3. the Praetor 500 (midsize jet) with a range of approximately 6,000 km.

Istanbul ISL (LTBA) now serves cargo, business and VIP aviation rather than scheduled airlines. This gives broad scheduling flexibility for private arrivals. Our operations team manages all the Turkish DHMI network as standard. Fly With Andreea is on hand to arrange it as and when you wish.

We coordinate premium chauffeured transfers from the airport. The old city is approximately 30 minutes from the airport; Nisantasi approximately 25 minutes.

On a midsize jet, the hold accommodates four to eight suitcases plus cabin bags. Final capacity is confirmed against the chosen aircraft at booking.

Yes, your cats and dogs travel in the cabin beside you. Entry requires a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and a health certificate, with destination-specific permits arranged ahead. Our ground team provides a full briefing well ahead of departure. Fly With Andreea looks after the whole journey, on your timing.

Yes. At approximately 1,500 km the sector is inside the range of a super midsize jet and everything above it, so no technical stop is required. A smaller cabin can fly it with a fuel stop, but on a sector of this length most clients prefer to go direct for the time saved.

A super midsize jet seats eight to ten passengers in comfort on this route, and a larger cabin takes more. We size the aircraft to the party and the luggage rather than to the headline price, so tell us the numbers and we will show you what each cabin costs on the same day.

A passport valid for the length of your stay, and a visa where your nationality requires one. Immigration and customs are handled at the private terminal rather than in the main hall, which is usually a matter of minutes rather than an hour. Operations file the sector as BLQ to ISL. We confirm the requirements against your specific passports before departure.

Twenty-four to seventy-two hours is usually enough to secure the right aircraft on this route. Peak weeks are tighter, and a major event at either end moves availability quickly. Booking earlier widens the choice of cabin and often improves the price, because the aircraft is less likely to need positioning.

Not necessarily per sector, but a one-way can carry a positioning cost if the aircraft has to fly empty to reach you, or empty to get home afterwards. A return where the aircraft waits, or where the crew rests at the destination, often prices better per leg than two separate one-ways. We quote both so you can see the difference before deciding.

Yes. Repositioning flights on this sector are offered well below the standard charter price when the dates align. Operators release them continuously, some months ahead and some only hours before departure, so tell us your travel window and we will watch it for you.

Yes. Catering is arranged to your preference, including halal, vegetarian and specific dietary requirements, and can be sourced from a named restaurant if you would like. Flowers, a particular champagne, a specific ground vehicle or an onward helicopter are handled by the same team that arranges the aircraft.
