Private Jet Charter Paris to Paphos

Paris to Paphos is 2,921 km, about 4 h 06 in the air, non-stop on a super-midsize jet such as a Challenger 350, Legacy 500 or Gulfstream G280. Paris means Le Bourget at this end; Cyprus means Paphos or Larnaca at the other, and which one you want depends on the side of the island you are going to. Our own desk is in Cyprus and answers at any hour on +357 95 119759.

Four hours south-east to the western end of Cyprus, and the one route on this website where the company you are chartering from is already at the destination. That is not a slogan – it changes which aircraft we can offer and what the positioning costs. Whole aircraft, single seats and empty legs, arranged 24/7.

The route at a glance

A long eastern Mediterranean sector that is routine for the class, and where the honest variable is where the aircraft starts. Flying out from Paris, the aeroplane has to be at Le Bourget first – and our fleet's home is at the other end of the leg. Sometimes that works against the price and sometimes strongly for it, because an aircraft coming empty out of Cyprus to collect you is the same movement that creates an empty leg in the opposite direction.

Our base

On this direction the aircraft usually has to come to you rather than being here already – which is exactly why empty legs appear on the return
The distance is a great-circle figure between airport coordinates, so the track actually flown is longer than it. The time is a model estimate and not a measured block time: the model is fitted to flight times Diamond Executive Aero Services already publishes on this website, it makes no distinction between the outbound and the return, and routing, wind, slots and aircraft type all move it. The schedule in your quotation is the real one.

Which airports we use

Both ends have alternatives, and at the Cypriot end the alternative is sometimes the better airport rather than the second choice. The island is small enough that either field will work and large enough that the wrong one costs you an hour of coast road.

FieldCodeRole on this routeWhat decides it
Paris Le BourgetLBG / LFPBdepartureThe business-aviation airport of Paris, minutes from the city and the field private traffic actually uses. Every figure on this page is measured from it. Charles de Gaulle and Orly are alternatives rather than defaults – Orly when Le Bourget has no window at the hour you need, Charles de Gaulle only for a scheduled long-haul connection.
PaphosPFO / LCPHarrivalThe western field, closer to Limassol and the west coast than Larnaca, and quieter on the ground with handling arranged in advance. The right answer for Paphos itself, Coral Bay, Polis and the western half of the island.
LarnacaLCA / LCLKarrival alternativeThe island's main business-aviation gateway and where our own desk sits, staffed twenty-four hours a day. Better if you are heading for Nicosia, Ayia Napa, Protaras or eastern Limassol – and often the field with more aircraft on it on a given day.

Aircraft for Paris to Paphos

Nearly three thousand kilometres with a full cabin is super-midsize work, and on this route that is a recommendation rather than a constraint – the class does it without a single trade against distance, luggage or passenger count.

Super-midsize

The honest recommendation for a whole-aircraft charter with the cabin full: a Challenger 350, a Legacy 500 or a Gulfstream G280, non-stop, with a cabin that makes four hours a comfortable afternoon.

See the fleet ›

Heavy jet

For a larger party, for a night departure where sleeping matters, or when Cyprus is a staging point rather than the destination. More cabin and more margin on a long routing.

Midsize jet

Possible with a light load, and we will say exactly what it costs you before you choose it rather than after. On this distance a smaller cabin buys less than people expect.

What it costs

We publish no fixed starting figure for Paris to Paphos, and on this particular route that is more than the usual caution: the price genuinely depends on where the aircraft is when you ask.

Our own fleet's base is in Cyprus. Flying out from Paris, an aircraft either has to come to Le Bourget to collect you – which is a positioning flight and appears in the quotation – or you take one that is already in western Europe. On some dates the first is cheaper because the aircraft was going back anyway; on others the second is. This is not something we can print in advance, and it is the first thing we check when you send dates.

Beyond that, the usual lines: the cabin, crew duty and any overnight, and handling at both ends. And the corridor's own quirk – because our aircraft live at the Cypriot end, empty legs turn up on the Cyprus-to-Europe direction more often than the other way. If your trip has a return, that is where to ask for one.

GET A FIRM PRICE

When to fly, and when to book early

Cyprus has a long season rather than a short one, and the island stays workable well past the point at which most Mediterranean destinations empty out. The pressure on this corridor concentrates in the summer weeks and around the holiday periods, when the western half of the island fills first.

Book early when your arrival hour matters and when the party is large enough to need a specific cabin. Book early too if you are travelling with children on their own documents – in the summer that is the commonest single source of delay at the passport desk, and it is entirely avoidable by sending the details in advance.

Short notice is workable, and our desk being on the island rather than in another time zone is the practical reason: a landing at an awkward hour is a scheduling question here rather than an operational one.

Onward from Paphos

Cyprus sits within short reach of three regions, and once an aircraft is on the island the next sector is inexpensive by comparison with the one that brought it.

Larnaca and the east of the island

Twenty minutes by air, an hour by road, and where our desk sits. If the eastern half of Cyprus is the real destination, we will quote Larnaca directly rather than add the drive.

The eastern Mediterranean

Beirut is forty minutes away, Athens and the Aegean not much further. A two-stop itinerary through this corner of the map is a shape we quote regularly.

Empty legs home

Because our fleet is based here, the Cyprus-to-Europe direction produces empty legs more often than the reverse. If your return date can move, ask us – this is the corridor where it pays best.

Questions we get about this route

How long is Paris to Paphos, and does it go non-stop?
About 4 h 06 in the air over 2,921 km – 1,577 nautical miles – non-stop on a super-midsize such as a Challenger 350, Legacy 500 or Gulfstream G280. The flying figure is a model estimate fitted to the flight times we publish ourselves rather than a measured block time, and the model takes no view of direction.
Paphos or Larnaca?
Paphos for Paphos itself, Coral Bay, Polis and the western half of the island, and for a quieter arrival with handling arranged in advance. Larnaca for Nicosia, Ayia Napa, Protaras and eastern Limassol – it is the island's main business-aviation gateway, where our own desk sits, and often has more aircraft on it on a given day. Tell us the address and we will name the field.
What are the border formalities?
Cyprus is a member of the European Union but is not part of the Schengen area; France is in both. That means passport control applies at both ends, in both directions. Because both countries are in the Union, the customs questions that attach to a flight from outside it do not arise. At business-aviation terminals the check is a desk beside the aircraft and a matter of minutes.
Why is there no published starting price?
Because on this route the price genuinely depends on where the aircraft is when you ask. Our fleet is based in Cyprus, so flying out from Paris either brings an aircraft to Le Bourget to collect you or uses one already in western Europe – and which is cheaper changes with the date. It is the first thing we check when you send dates.
Does your being based in Cyprus actually help us?
On the return, materially. Aircraft based here that have taken a party to Europe come back, and they often come back empty. On the outbound it is neutral at worst and occasionally favourable, when an aircraft was going to reposition to western Europe anyway. We will tell you which case your dates fall into rather than claim the advantage in general terms.
Can the aircraft wait for us?
Yes, and over four hours each way a same-day return is not realistic, so the real question is whether it waits or repositions. For a short stay, waiting is usually cheaper; for a longer one, repositioning often is – and with our base on the island the repositioning leg is a short one rather than a flight back to western Europe.
We are travelling with children. Anything to know?
Only that children on their own documents are the commonest source of delay at the passport desk in the summer, and it is entirely avoidable. Send the complete passenger list with document details well before the day rather than at the aircraft steps.
How late can we book?
Short notice is workable on this corridor, and our desk being on the island rather than in another time zone is the practical reason – a landing at an awkward hour is a scheduling question here, not an operational one. Call +357 95 119759, staffed twenty-four hours a day.
