Travellers heading for Puglia, from the white hill towns to the Adriatic coast, often start at Bari. Private jet charter at Bari Airport suits every business jet, on a runway of 3,000 metres at an airport that is open around the clock.
Private and air-taxi flights with up to 19 seats need prior permission, and that goes through one of three handling agents. Charter-A arranges this with the agent and confirms it when we quote.
The airport is at Bari-Palese, about 11 km from Bari. We will tell you at the quote stage which agent is proposed and what it needs from you.
