Ground transport to Uman, Ukraine
Ukrainian airspace is closed — fly to a neighboring country and continue by ground. In 5786 Romania (Iasi) was the primary charter gateway and Poland secondary; the Moldova/Chisinau route has been restricted since 2024 — verify it's running before booking through Chisinau. Times shown are driving only, measured route by route through each gateway's border crossing. They do not include the crossing itself — the queue cannot be measured, runs far longer at peak, and you need to allow for it on top. Taxi prices are per vehicle for 3–4 passengers, from a 5786 operator price list that has not been re-checked for 5787. Verify before booking.
