Toronto to Paris serves Canada's largest business community: banks, insurers, mining and tech companies with interests in France and across Europe, along with leisure travel in summer. Private flights leave from Toronto Pearson (YYZ), since Billy Bishop downtown does not accept jets, and usually land at Le Bourget (LBG), Paris's business-aviation airport. The crossing is a little longer than from Montreal, so smaller jets are more likely to need a fuel stop.
| Airport | IATA / ICAO | Role | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Toronto Pearson International | YYZ / CYYZ | departure · 6,015 km to LBG | Toronto's main jet airport in Mississauga; mixed traffic with private terminals. Downtown Billy Bishop City Airport does not accept jets, only turboprops. |
| Paris-Le Bourget | LBG / LFPB | arrival | Business-aviation-only airport north of Paris with no scheduled airline traffic; the usual choice for private flights to the city. |
| Paris Charles de Gaulle | CDG / LFPG | arrival · 6,020 km from YYZ | Paris's main airline hub northeast of the city; private flights use it, though most prefer Le Bourget nearby. |
