As the capital of the second largest economy in the euro-zone and main tourist destination of the continent, Paris occupies a very special place in European aviation. Art, culture, gastronomy, fashion and a thriving economy have turned Paris into an international icon that attracts tourists and business travellers from the whole world.

How to get to Paris by private jet?

Paris boasts an airport entirely dedicated to business aviation at Le Bourget and two important commercial airports at Charles de Gaulle and Orly.

It is equipped with the largest amount of business aviation terminals in the whole of Europe and is blessed with a very central location.
