Naples to Paris is 1,292 km and roughly 2 h 03 min of flying, Capodichino to Paris Le Bourget, on a light or midsize cabin. It is the shortest way there is of turning the Bay of Naples back into an ordinary working afternoon: no border to clear, no scheduled traffic to queue behind at the Paris end, and about a quarter of an hour on the ground at either terminal. We print no fixed one-way figure, because we have not found one we would be willing to stand behind.

Two hours north-west, and the awkward part of the journey is behind you before the aeroplane moves: everything on this coast that is worth staying at is reached by helicopter, car or boat rather than by jet, so the day is built backwards from the hour you want to be off the stand at Capodichino. After that it is a straight run to a field with no airline traffic on it at all.
REQUEST A QUOTE1,292 km is a curious length: the top of what a light jet does well and the bottom of what a midsize is built for, which is why the fleet on this pairing is genuinely mixed rather than nominally so. Two other things shape it. Italy and France both belong to Schengen, so the frontier costs you nothing at all in minutes – rare enough on our route pages to be worth stating rather than implying. And the Paris field we use keeps no airline schedule on it whatever, which is both why more spare jets stand there than anywhere else on the continent and why landing there is measured in walking distance rather than in halls.
Codes and coordinates are taken from the OurAirports open dataset, retrieved 23 August 2026, with the distance computed great-circle between Capodichino and Le Bourget. The time is the output of a model fitted to flight times this website already carries, and track, wind, slot and type all move it.
Effectively no choice at the southern end and a real one at the northern, which is the opposite of how most people assume this pairing works. Capodichino is the field for the whole bay. In Paris, Le Bourget is the default for one plain reason – there is no airline traffic on it – and Orly is the answer only when geography or the clock makes it one.
| Airport | Codes | Role | What decides it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Naples Capodichino | NAP / LIRN | Departure | Your departure and the point every figure on this page is measured from. It sits close in to the city, which is unusual and useful. It is also the only airport the bay has: Capri, Ischia, Sorrento, Positano and the Amalfi coast have none of their own, so a departure day starts with a helicopter, a car or a boat, and in the June to September peak that leg is the one that has to be confirmed first. Give us the hour you want wheels up and not merely the morning. |
| Paris Le Bourget | LBG / LFPB | Arrival, default | Where the sector ends, and the arrival every distance and time here is measured to. No airline schedule operates on this field at all; it lies immediately north-east of the city and carries several handling agents, and the consequence is that more spare business jets stand here than at any other single field in Europe. Two things follow for you: an arrival that is short and behaves predictably, and better than average odds that the aeroplane collecting you was going to be coming this way regardless. |
| Paris Orly | ORY / LFPO | Arrival alternative | Worth taking when the afternoon finishes south or south-west of the centre, or when the hour you want does not exist at Le Bourget. Orly does take business aircraft – but it runs a full airline operation, so both slots and stands are shared with it, and the arrival feels nothing like the one described in the row above. Give us the address and we will say which field genuinely wins the argument. |
Field codes and positions come from the OurAirports open dataset as retrieved on 23 August 2026, with distances taken great-circle. Slot and handling availability we verify for your particular dates rather than infer from the rows above.
Here the two classes genuinely overlap, so you will be shown both, and the difference is worth understanding rather than handing to us to decide. Two hours is brief enough that a light cabin costs you no comfort and long enough that a stand-up one is noticed. In July the hold normally settles the argument.
The light jet that covers 1,292 km in one leg without strain, and often the cheapest honest way to buy this flight. Worth naming first if the party is small and the bags are not the problem.
See the Phenom 300 ›The midsize step, with a cabin you can stand up in. Two hours is long enough for that to register, and it is the usual choice when a family or a group of six or more is travelling together.
See the Citation XLS+ ›The one to ask for when the luggage rather than the party is the constraint: full galley, separate lavatory and the hold volume a long stay on the coast produces. Say so at the enquiry and it costs nothing; say so at the steps and it costs a morning.
See the Hawker 800XP ›All three have their own pages in our fleet section, and heavier cabins fly this sector as well – ask and we will price one alongside the others rather than instead of them.
You will not find a one-way figure printed here. We went looking for one for this pairing and turned up nothing we would be prepared to put our name to, and a number conjured up to fill the space would make this page look more helpful while making it less honest. What follows instead is the list of things that genuinely move the number, plus the published hourly bands for the class so that you can audit whatever anybody puts in front of you.
What you are buying here is decided by the week far more than by the kilometres. Take the identical sector in early March and on the first Saturday of August and you have two different products. Through the season every aeroplane working the western Mediterranean is spoken for, so the one that comes for you is less likely to have a useful onward job, and wherever it stands while it waits ends up on your invoice instead of inside the operator’s own day. That gives three shapes and three numbers: straight back the same day, a stay with the aeroplane let go, or a stay with it kept on the ground for you.
For a sense of scale, and emphatically not as a quotation, here is what other people print by the hour for this class: EUR 4,600 to 9,700 across Europe (LunaJets, undated); from EUR 2,900 to 3,500 (Eurosky, 19 February 2026); USD 3,750 to 4,600 (Paramount Business Jets, August 2026). Each describes a category of aeroplane across a continent and none describes 1,292 km. Take any of them, multiply by 2 h 03, and the answer has ignored the crew’s working day, landing and handling at each end, and – in the very months most of this traffic flies – somewhere to park. One more item belongs in the same conversation: the transfer that delivers you to Capodichino on the morning. Better settled while you are still reading a quotation than discovered while you are reading an invoice.
None of this is an offer and none of it binds anybody. The hourly figures belong to third parties, describe the cabin class rather than this sector, and sit here as a yardstick to hold against anyone’s quotation, ours very much included.

GET A FIRM PRICEThe bay begins to fill in June and has emptied by the end of October, and the route simply inherits that curve. During the peak the squeeze is felt on the ground rather than in the air. Outside it, few northbound sectors in Europe are cheaper or easier to arrange at a few days’ notice.
| Weeks | How it behaves | The sensible response |
|---|---|---|
| June through September | Peak season around the bay. Everybody wants to leave in the same handful of weeks, every aeroplane working this half of the Mediterranean is committed elsewhere, and the rotors, cars and hulls feeding Capodichino go long before the jets do | Four to six weeks for a July or August date. Fix the hour you want to be off the ground first and let the transfer be built to meet it, not the other way round |
| The two peak fortnights | Mid-July into late August, when the thing in short supply stops being the aeroplane and becomes everything standing between you and the apron | Have us arrange the road, water or rotor leg in the same order as the jet instead of separately. Name the place you are staying: that, and not the date, decides which of the three the first leg turns out to be |
| May and October | Either side of the season, and for a good many parties the pick of the calendar: the coastline is working without being overrun, and the fleet has yet to sign its summer away or has already come off it | Both price and choice are agreeable at once. Where your dates will shift, October is the month to ask what is being sent back up north |
| November to April | Out of season. The coastline is quiet, nothing in the fleet is committed to it, and getting out of Capodichino at short notice is unremarkable | The softest pricing and the loosest availability of the year here, and a window in which leaving tomorrow – or today – is a realistic request. Ask what is already going north: in these weeks there usually is something |
What that table describes is the Mediterranean summer as it lands on this particular corridor. It is not a published seasonal index for the city pair, and we attach no figures to it.
Le Bourget is a junction far more often than it is a finishing line, and a second sector settled in the same conversation as the first is generally better value than the same sector bought separately later.
Across the Channel in well under an hour, and the continuation asked for most often out of Le Bourget when Paris was the stop rather than the point.
Paris to London ›South-east into Switzerland. The leg that turns a Mediterranean booking into an alpine one without anybody changing advisers in between.
Paris to Geneva ›The winter answer, and worth asking about in the same breath if the same party goes to the mountains later in the year – the altiport rewards planning far more than the coast does.
Paris to Courchevel ›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.
