Discreet, precision chauffeur service for principals, family offices, and corporate flight departments arriving at Paris–Le Bourget — Europe's busiest business aviation airport and the gateway through which 97% of Paris private jet traffic flows. Tarmac-side coordination across all eight FBOs, direct routes to the Champs-Élysées and the Place Vendôme, and a fleet built exclusively for clientele who chose Le Bourget precisely because it has no equal on the continent.
Paris–Le Bourget Airport (IATA: LBG, ICAO: LFPB) is the world's oldest dedicated business aviation airport, in continuous operation since 1919, and today the undisputed capital of private aviation in Europe — handling approximately 45,000 to 60,000 private aircraft movements annually, more than any other airport on the continent, and accounting for 97% of all private jet traffic into and out of Paris. Located 11 kilometres northeast of central Paris, Le Bourget is devoted almost entirely to business aviation: there are no commercial terminals to navigate, no competing scheduled-airline congestion, and no sense whatsoever of being a secondary priority within someone else's operating system. For executives, heads of state, royal households, and the world's most recognisable private individuals, Le Bourget is simply the only acceptable answer to the question of where to land in Paris.
The airport's infrastructure reflects this singular focus. Three runways — the longest at 3,000 metres, sufficient for everything from light jets to ultra-long-range VIP-configured airliners — give Le Bourget the operational flexibility to accept any business aircraft on the market, including the Gulfstream G650ER, the Bombardier Global 7500, and Boeing Business Jet conversions. Eight Fixed Base Operators now operate on the field, an unmatched concentration anywhere in Europe: Dassault Falcon Service (operated by the aircraft manufacturer itself, with lounges offering views toward the Eiffel Tower), Universal Aviation France (the airport's largest facility at 3,500 square metres, with over 30 years' established presence), Signature Flight Support (2,800 square metres, with spa services and an on-site wine cellar), ExecuJet/Sky Valet (part of Luxaviation), Advanced Air Support (a French-owned boutique operator renowned for exceptional discretion), Astonsky (a contemporary 5,000-square-metre terminal with private suites and four snooze rooms), and Jetex. Customs and immigration clearance is handled directly within the FBO of arrival — a five to ten minute procedure available 24 hours a day, a fraction of the 30 to 60 minutes typically required when clearing through a commercial terminal at Roissy–Charles de Gaulle or Orly.
Le Bourget's clientele has, for over a century, included precisely the individuals one would expect of the world's foremost private aviation gateway — heads of state arriving for bilateral meetings at the Élysée Palace, the principals of the world's most significant private equity and sovereign wealth funds, royal households, and the corporate flight departments of multinational corporations whose Paris business cannot tolerate the uncertainty of a commercial gateway. The airport is also the permanent home of the biennial Paris Air Show (Salon International de l'Aéronautique et de l'Espace), the world's largest and most significant aerospace and defence exhibition, drawing the entire global aviation and defence industry's leadership to Le Bourget for a week of unmatched density in precisely this client category.
A client who has selected Le Bourget specifically because no compromise was acceptable in the choice of aircraft, FBO, or arrival experience will not accept compromise in the final leg of the journey. We built our Le Bourget service around eliminating that risk entirely.

Le Bourget's position northeast of the city, just off the A1 autoroute, gives it the most direct and least congested approach into central Paris of any of the city's three airports — typically 20 to 35 minutes to the principal hotel and embassy district even during moderate traffic, and considerably faster outside peak commuting hours.
Le Bourget operates 24 hours a day for arrivals; departures are restricted between approximately 22:15 and 06:00, a curfew designed to manage noise around the surrounding communes. No airport slots are required for routine operations, except during major events — most notably the biennial Paris Air Show, when parking and slot capacity is committed months in advance to exhibitors and official delegations. For clients with arrival windows that fall within the departure curfew, or for whom Le Bourget's slot demand is constrained during peak periods, we coordinate seamlessly with Orly's diplomatic VIP terminal or onward connections via Charles de Gaulle as required.
During the Paris Air Show, held biennially in odd-numbered years, Le Bourget's own apron and FBO capacity is reserved months ahead for exhibitors, official delegations, and industry principals, and the airport's surrounding hotel infrastructure is similarly committed early. For corporate delegations, government parties, and aerospace industry leadership attending the Salon, we provide complete advance planning — coordinated multi-vehicle fleets sized to your delegation, daily transfer programmes between Paris accommodation and the show, and full contingency coordination should your arrival require redirection to an alternate Paris-area facility. A single point of contact manages the entirety of your Salon week from arrival to departure.

Ultra Luxury vehicles require a minimum 24-hour booking. For FBO-specific coordination, Paris Air Show fleet, or diplomatic delegation transport: +33 753 54 87 71 or [email protected].
Yes — we coordinate in advance with your specific FBO (Dassault Falcon Service, Universal Aviation, Signature Flight Support, Jetex, Advanced Air Support, or any of the field's other operators), tracking your aircraft by tail number and positioning your vehicle for immediate collection.
Approximately 20 to 35 minutes to the Place Vendôme, Champs-Élysées, or the principal hotel district under normal conditions — the most direct of any Paris airport approach, via the A1 autoroute.
Arrivals are accepted 24 hours a day. Departures are restricted between approximately 22:15 and 06:00 due to a noise curfew. For clients whose schedule requires a departure within this window, we coordinate alternate arrangements via Orly's diplomatic VIP terminal or Charles de Gaulle.
We recommend engaging us as early as possible — ideally several months ahead. The Salon, held biennially, commits Le Bourget's own slot and parking capacity early to exhibitors and official delegations, and Paris's premium hotel and vehicle availability follows the same pattern.
Yes. We provide private chauffeur to Versailles, the Loire Valley, and onward connections across France and into our wider European network, with experienced chauffeurs and flexible scheduling built around your private aviation timetable.
