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.

1. Paris Le Bourget Airport

Paris Le Bourget Airport is Europe’s busiest business aviation airport, dedicated exclusively to private aviation.

With more private jet charter terminal (FBO) facilities than any other European Airport and well-located for the city centre, the airport is the top choice for private flights in and out of Paris.

This business aviation-only airport occupies the first spot in Europe’s traffic rankings. It is equipped with the largest amount of business aviation terminals in the whole of Europe and is blessed with a very central location. These are the reasons why it is by far the first choice for the large majority of private jet users in Paris.

The closest of Paris’s three airports to the centre of town, Le Bourget is a true hub for business aviation. With numerous private terminals to choose from, each offering exceptional levels of service, passengers can expect a seamless and rapid transfer onto their aircraft.
