The route at a glance

If business aviation in Europe has a signature route, this is it. Paris Le Bourget recorded 55,751 business-aviation movements in 2023, more than any other airport in Europe and more than twice London Luton's 26,661; brokers, working from 2017 data, named London-Paris the United Kingdom's most popular city pair within Europe. At 380 km the flying is barely an hour, which is why the interesting numbers on this route are all about the ground: how long from the car to the aircraft, and how long from the aircraft to the meeting.

Distance is the great-circle figure between airport coordinates from the OurAirports open dataset. The flight time is an estimate, not a measured block time: it comes from a simple model fitted to the flight times Diamond Executive Aero Services already publishes on this website, and it moves with airway routing, wind, slots and aircraft type. Your quotation carries the real schedule.

Which airports we use

On a sector this short the difference between the three London fields is a matter of minutes in the air and can be an hour on the road. Choose by where you are, not by what the distance column says.

AirportCodesGreat-circle to Le BourgetSuits you if
London Biggin HillBQH / EGKB314 kmThe shortest sector to Paris by a clear margin. South and south-east London, Kent and the City - and the City is the point, because this is a route flown by people whose diary is the constraint.
FarnboroughFAB / EGLF344 kmSurrey, Hampshire and west London. Purely business aviation, so the walk from car to aircraft is the shortest of the three.
London LutonLTN / EGGW380 kmNorth London and the M1, and the widest choice of aircraft for a same-day booking.
Paris Le BourgetLBG / LFPBarrivalThe closest airport to central Paris and the busiest business-aviation field in Europe. When the Paris Air Show is on, Le Bourget's own ramp becomes the constraint - tell us early if your dates fall in it.

Aircraft for London to Paris

Three hundred and eighty kilometres is a light-jet sector and nothing more. The aeroplane is airborne for under an hour; what you are buying is the departure time, not the cabin.

Embraer Phenom 300

Six to eight passengers with a 2.27 cubic metre hold. The most commonly available type at all three London fields, and quick to arrange for a same-day departure.

See the Embraer Phenom 300 ›

Cessna Citation CJ2+

Six to seven passengers. On a fifty-minute sector this is the economical choice and the difference in comfort from a larger cabin is hard to notice before you have landed.

See the Cessna Citation CJ2+ ›

Citation Bravo

Six to seven passengers, 2.07 cubic metres of hold, unhurried and quiet. A good choice when the day return is carrying documents and samples rather than suitcases.

See the Citation Bravo ›

All three types are on our own fleet pages. For a board of eight or more, a Citation XLS+ or Hawker 800XP flies the same sector.

When to fly, and when to book early

This route follows a working calendar rather than a holiday one, which makes it the easiest sector on this site to book in the months when every other route is full.

PeriodWhat happensWhat to do
March to JuneThe heaviest business period of the year in both directions, and the season for day returns.A week is usually enough. Book the return leg with the outbound - waiting is normally cheaper than sending the aircraft home.
July and AugustParis empties in August and so does this route. EUROCONTROL's analysis of European business flying found a pronounced July-August trough, with June and September the genuine peaks.The easiest and cheapest time of year to fly it. Short notice is realistic.
September to NovemberThe second business peak, with conference and exhibition traffic on top of it.One to two weeks. Watch for weeks when Le Bourget itself is hosting an event.
December to FebruaryQuiet except for the fortnight around Christmas. Aircraft repositioning across the Channel is constant.Best empty-leg window on the route.

Onward from Paris

Le Bourget is a starting point as often as it is a destination.

Into the centre

Le Bourget is the closest airport to central Paris, and the transfer is short enough that we book it with the flight rather than leaving it to the day.

Straight down to the Riviera

Paris to Nice is 694 km and about 1 h 15 on the same aircraft - the busiest French domestic business sector and a normal same-day continuation.

Or back across to Geneva

Questions we get about this route

How long is a private jet flight from London to Paris?
Under an hour. Our model gives 0 h 54 from Luton over 380 km, and Biggin Hill is shorter still at 314 km. Add roughly fifteen minutes on the ground at each end; at a business terminal you arrive shortly before departure rather than two hours ahead.
How much does a private jet from London to Paris cost?
Brokers publish Paris to Farnborough from around 9,000 EUR for the whole aircraft (retrieved August 2026). Published European light-jet hourly rates run from about 2,900 EUR to about 7,300 EUR depending on the source. Because the sector is under an hour, the positioning of the aircraft matters more here than on any other route we publish - ask us.
Which London airport is closest to Paris?
Biggin Hill, at 314 km to Le Bourget against Farnborough's 344 km and Luton's 380 km. The difference in the air is minutes; the difference on the road to the airport is usually much larger, so pick by geography rather than by the table.
Do I still need a passport since Brexit?
Yes, in both directions - the United Kingdom is outside both the EU and Schengen, so this is a full frontier crossing each way. At a business aviation terminal the control is carried out beside the aircraft and adds minutes, not hours.
Can I do London to Paris and back in a day?
It is the classic use of this route. The aircraft waits for you at Le Bourget; on a sector this short, having it wait is almost always cheaper than sending it home and bringing it back. Tell us your meeting time and we will build the day around it.
Why fly into Le Bourget rather than Charles de Gaulle or Orly?
Le Bourget is closer to central Paris than either, it exists for business aviation rather than tolerating it, and it recorded 55,751 business-aviation movements in 2023 - more than any other airport in Europe. The whole infrastructure is built around getting you off the aircraft and into a car.
Are there empty legs between London and Paris?
Frequently, because aircraft cross the Channel in both directions all week. Current empty legs.
How late can I book?
We can have you airborne within four hours of confirmation, subject to aircraft and slot availability. This is one of the easiest sectors in Europe to arrange at short notice, because there are aircraft on both sides of the Channel. Desk: +357 95 119759, 24 hours.
Can I book a last-minute private jet from London to Paris?
Often yes, and this is the most common way this route is booked. A last-minute charter means the aircraft, the crew and the airport slots have to line up at short notice: when they do, we have put people in the air within a few hours of the first call. What decides it is where a suitable aircraft happens to be and whether the windows at both ends are open, not our willingness. Call the operations desk on +357 95 119759 — it answers around the clock — and we will tell you straight away whether your timing is achievable rather than promise and check later. Last-minute empty legs on this corridor are worth asking about at the same time.
