Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia run together along one stretch of the Baltic coast, and the airport lies west of the old city. If you are planning private jet charter at Gdańsk, the 2,800 metre ILS-equipped runway means business jets of most sizes can be considered.
The airport lists a VIP zone and aircraft support services including handling, hangar, catering and maintenance. Excel Handling and LS Airport Services both work here. Charter-A arranges the aircraft and coordinates handling, and confirms the detail for your date at the time of booking, subject to availability.
