Larnaca to Paris is a 2,987 km sector of about 4 h 11 in the air, Larnaca to Le Bourget, and a super-midsize cabin crosses it non-stop with everyone on board. Published references start at €35 000 for the whole aircraft, one way; on flights we open for sharing we have published a Larnaca to Paris seat at €2 000. Send the dates and a written quotation follows within 30 minutes; our Cyprus desk answers at any hour on +357 95 119759.
The longest of the European sectors we fly out of our home island, and the one where the aircraft is ours to organise from the Larnaca end rather than through a chain of intermediaries.
REQUEST A QUOTEThis is the route that best explains what a Cyprus-based operator is for. Larnaca is where our own desk sits: the aircraft, the crew, the handling agent and the paperwork at the departure end are arranged by people who work at that airport. At nearly three thousand kilometres it is a long European sector, which puts it in the super-midsize class for a full cabin, and it is flown often enough out of Larnaca that we publish our own shared-seat example on it. Le Bourget at the far end is the busiest business-aviation airport in Europe, so the arrival is routine; the departure is where local knowledge earns its keep.
At the Cyprus end the choice is between two airports about an hour apart by road and almost nothing apart in the air. At the Paris end the choice is effectively made for you — Le Bourget, unless something specific argues otherwise — but it is worth knowing what that something might be.
| Airport | Codes | Great-circle to Le Bourget | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Larnaca | LCA / LCLK | 2,987 km | The default departure and the field every figure on this page is measured from. It is the island’s main business-aviation gateway and the practical airport for Nicosia, Ayia Napa, Protaras and the eastern half of Limassol. Our own desk here is staffed around the clock, which is why a departure at four in the morning is a scheduling question rather than an operational one. |
| Paphos | PFO / LCPH | 2,921 km | Sixty-six kilometres shorter in the air, which disappears inside a four-hour estimate, and an hour further from Nicosia by road. It earns its place for the west of the island — Paphos itself, Polis, western Limassol. Handling and aircraft availability are thinner here, so it wants asking about early rather than on the day. |
| Paris Le Bourget | LBG / LFPB | arrival | Where essentially all of this traffic lands. Eight kilometres from the périphérique, entirely given over to business aviation, and with 55,751 movements in 2023 the busiest such airport in Europe by a wide margin. Night movements are restricted, which matters on a four-hour eastbound-to-westbound sector where a late departure from Cyprus can arrive after the window closes. |
| Paris Orly | ORY / LFPO | 2,984 km | Three kilometres shorter than Le Bourget and a genuinely different proposition on the ground: a large scheduled airport with a business-aviation facility attached. It becomes the answer when Le Bourget cannot take the arrival hour you need, and it suits the southern suburbs. |

Nearly three thousand kilometres with a full cabin is super-midsize territory. A midsize aircraft can be made to fly it — our own published shared-seat example on this pairing was operated on a Citation XLS+ — but with a full load and full luggage the trade starts to be bags against fuel, and on a four-hour sector that is a poor bargain.
Eight to ten passengers, a flat-floor cabin you can walk down, and enough range that this sector is never close to its limit. The type we put forward most often when the party is travelling to work on the way rather than to rest.
See the Bombardier Challenger 350 ›Nine to twelve passengers and a quiet cabin with a proper galley. It handles short and hot runways well, which is a Cyprus consideration in July rather than a Paris one, and it is frequently the most economical way to move a full party on this sector.
See the Cessna Citation Sovereign ›Eight to ten passengers, the fastest of the three, and the one that makes a same-day return to Paris realistic rather than theoretical. When the trip is out in the morning and back in the evening, this is the aircraft that buys you the hours in the middle.
See the Gulfstream G280 ›All three types have their own pages in our fleet. Heavier cabins — Legacy 650, Challenger 605, Falcon 900 — also fly this sector and are worth asking about when the party is twelve or more.

Three published figures exist for this pairing and they measure three different things. They are set out below with what each one actually covers, because the gap between them is not a discount — it is a difference of product.
The whole-aircraft references are one-way charter prices. The 29,800 EUR figure is not: it is a three-night return with the aircraft waiting in Paris, which on a sector of this length is often sensible but is plainly a different thing from a single leg. And our own 2,000 EUR figure is a seat on a shared flight, not an aircraft. Comparing the three without saying which is which is how people end up feeling misled by a quotation that was honest all along.
What moves your own number on this route is, in order: whether the aircraft is already in the eastern Mediterranean or has to be flown in to collect you, whether you need it to wait in Paris or to reposition, and the arrival hour at Le Bourget. The third one is specific to this destination — night movements there are restricted, so a departure from Larnaca late in the evening can run into a closed window at the far end. Tell us the hour you need to be in Paris and we will work backwards from it.

Read from the Cyprus end, this route has two separate populations flying it and they do not share a calendar. One is professional and runs all year; the other is seasonal and runs in the summer, mostly in the other direction. That is why the route feels quiet in the outbound direction in August and busy in September.
| Period | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| September to June | The working pattern. Cyprus runs a shipping, legal, fund and professional-services economy with real business in France, and that traffic is steady rather than spiky. Same-day returns are common: out early, back the same evening. | One to two weeks is usually enough. If it is a day return, tell us that first — it changes which aircraft we propose before it changes the price. |
| June to September | The Mediterranean season. The heavy direction is into Cyprus rather than out of it, which means outbound Larnaca departures are often easier to place in August than you would expect, and empty legs going north appear regularly. | Ask about empty legs. An aircraft that has brought a party to the island frequently needs to go back, and northbound is the direction it goes. |
| Late December and Easter | Two concentrated family-travel spikes. They run in both directions inside a fortnight and they compress into a handful of days. | Commit early, and ask about the days either side of the obvious ones — they are considerably easier to place. |
| Paris fairs and the business season | The French calendar puts its own pressure on Le Bourget in the spring and autumn. It rarely stops a flight, but it moves the arrival hour and the handling window. | Give us the hour you need to be on the ground rather than the hour you would like to leave, and we will confirm the window before you build a day around it. |

The part of this route we control directly is the departure. Here is what that means in practice, and where the aircraft goes afterwards.
Staffed 24 hours a day. The handling, the crew and the paperwork at the Cyprus end are arranged by people who work at that airport, which is why an awkward departure hour is a scheduling question here rather than an obstacle.
Private jet charter in Cyprus ›On flights we open for sharing you can buy a single seat. Our published Larnaca to Paris example was 2,000 EUR a seat on a Citation XLS+ — a different product from a charter, and the right one for one or two travellers.
How jet sharing works ›Paris is frequently the first stop rather than the last. London, Geneva and Nice are all short sectors from Le Bourget and all routes we publish.
Paris to London ›Tell us your dates and how many of you there are. Your dedicated flight advisor will come back with aircraft options and a firm price.
