Paris to Dublin is 783 km and about 1 h 24 in the air, Paris Le Bourget to Dublin, normally on a light or midsize jet. Unlike most European pairs there is a border in the middle: Ireland is in the European Union but outside the Schengen area. We publish no fixed one-way figure for this pair; send the dates and the passenger count and a written quotation follows inside 30 minutes, and the operations desk answers at any hour on +357 95 119759.
An hour and a half north-west, with the asymmetry the other way round from most of our routes: Paris gives you a choice of departure fields, Dublin gives you one. The part worth knowing in advance is the border – a few minutes at a business terminal, but minutes you should plan rather than discover. Whole aircraft, single seats and empty legs, arranged 24/7.
REQUEST A QUOTEA straightforward corporate sector with one complication that most European pairs do not have. Ireland is an EU member but sits outside the Schengen area, so arriving in Dublin means a passport check rather than a walk to the car. At a business-aviation terminal that is minutes rather than queues, but it is a step, and it needs your passenger details earlier than an internal flight would. The other asymmetry is the airports: Paris gives you several realistic choices, Dublin gives you one.
At the Irish end there is one answer and no debate. At the Paris end there are three fields that behave very differently, and the choice is worth a minute: picking the wrong one hands back on the road exactly what the aircraft saved you in the air.
| Airport | Codes | Distance | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paris Le Bourget | LBG / LFPB | 783 km | Where the leg starts, and the field every distance and time on this page is measured from. It takes no scheduled traffic whatsoever, sits just north-east of the city and has a choice of handling agents – which is why the deepest pool of available jets in Europe sits there: 55,751 business-aviation movements in 2023 (EBAA 2023). |
| Paris Orly | ORY / LFPO | departure alternative | Your morning starts in the southern or south-western half of Paris, or Le Bourget cannot take you at the hour you want. Orly accepts business jets, but it is a scheduled airport and you queue with airline traffic for slots and stands. |
| Paris Charles de Gaulle | CDG / LFPG | connection only | Somebody is arriving off a scheduled intercontinental flight and the walk matters more than the drive into the city. It is not a default. |
| Dublin | DUB / EIDW | arrival | Where the leg ends, and effectively the only choice. Ireland's main airport handles business aviation alongside a busy scheduled operation, so the ground time at this end is a handling question rather than a choice-of-field question. Tell us your arrival hour early and we confirm the slot and the handling together. |

Seven hundred and eighty kilometres is comfortable for anything with a jet engine, so the question is the party rather than the performance: how many of you, what you are bringing, and whether the day continues after Dublin.
The efficient answer for up to six with normal luggage. A Phenom 300 or a Citation CJ2 crosses in an hour and a half without effort, and over that time the cabin size is a preference rather than a problem.
See the fleet ›What we quote above six passengers, for golf bags and equipment, or when people need a table between them rather than a row of seats. Also the better answer if the trip carries on across the Atlantic afterwards.
See the fleet ›A real economy when the schedule is relaxed and the party is small, at a cost of perhaps twenty minutes. Worth asking about rather than assuming away.
See the fleet ›We do not publish a fixed one-way figure for Paris to Dublin. On an hour and a half the price is decided less by the distance than by the things around it: the aircraft category, where that aircraft was the night before, whether one crew can do the round trip inside a duty day, and handling at both ends. One printed number would be right for a single combination and misleading for the rest.
Published hourly rates by aircraft class are a fair way to compare a light jet against a midsize. They are not a price for this city pair, and multiplying one of them by 1 h 24 produces a figure no operator would sign, because it quietly leaves out the positioning flight and the minimum charge – which on a sector this length are not a detail but most of the total.
The two levers that actually move it: a same-day return, which keeps the aircraft and crew with you rather than repositioning them twice; and an empty leg, if your dates can bend. Traffic between Paris and Ireland is regular enough that repositioning flights are common, and a proportion of them carry nobody at all.
GET A FIRM PRICEThe corporate pattern runs March to June and September to November, concentrated on early Monday and Tuesday departures and late Thursday and Friday returns. August is quiet. What makes this corridor different from a purely business one is the calendar of events: the racing and golf dates fill Dublin handling faster and harder than any conference does.
Book early for those weekends, and early for the days either side of a major sporting fixture – the constraint then is parking and handling at Dublin rather than the availability of an aircraft in Paris. Book early too if you need a specific arrival hour, because the border step means the schedule has less slack in it than an internal flight would.
Otherwise short notice is straightforward, and same-day departures are realistic. What you give up at short notice is the choice of cabin, not the flight.
Dublin is frequently the first half of a longer journey rather than the end of one, and the second leg is cheaper and simpler arranged at the same time as the first.
Dublin is a natural jumping-off point westward, and the aircraft that brought you can often carry on. Tell us the onward destination when you book and the trip is quoted as one.
See published routes ›London, Paris and the near continent are all short sectors from Dublin. A two-city working week is a shape we quote regularly on this corridor.
Paris to London ›Aircraft that deliver into Dublin have to leave again, and many leave empty. If your return date can move, that is where the saving lives.
Current empty legs ›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.
