Piešťany is Slovakia's best-known spa town, and its airport is about 3.5 km from the town and about 90 km from Bratislava. For private jet charter at Piešťany, the 2,000 metre runway suits business jets, but the airport keeps weekday hours and several things must be requested in writing.
Charter-A arranges the aircraft, sends the written requests for weekends, out-of-hours use and customs, and confirms the details for your date at booking, subject to availability.
