Private Jet Paris to New York

## Paris to New York by Private Jet: Transatlantic Excellence from Le Bourget ### Route Overview Paris to New York by private jet is one of the most prestigious corridors in business aviation, linking Europe's luxury capital with the world's commercial epicentre across 5,837 km of North Atlantic sky. Departing from Paris-Le Bourget (LBG/LFPB) — the world's oldest operational airport and permanent home of the Paris Air Show — the westbound crossing takes 7 hours and 15 minutes in a heavy or ultra-long-range jet, delivering you to Teterboro Airport (TEB/KTEB) with a full New York business afternoon ahead, or to Westchester (HPN) for Connecticut-bound passengers. Le Bourget has defined Parisian private aviation for over a century: it was here that Charles Lindbergh landed after the first solo transatlantic crossing in 1927. Today, its FBO infrastructure represents the pinnacle of European private aviation handling, and it remains the departure point of choice for French, Middle Eastern, and international UHNWI travellers routing through Paris. ### Departure Airport: Paris-Le Bourget (LBG / LFPB) Paris-Le Bourget is Europe's busiest dedicated private and business aviation airport, handling over 50,000 business aviation movements annually. **Infrastructure:** - Elevation: 218 ft (66 m) - Primary runway: 3,000 m — accepts all ultra-long-range heavy jets fully fuelled for the Atlantic - Secondary runway: 2,665 m **FBO Operators:** - *Signature Flight Support Le Bourget* — The flagship FBO, with a luxury VIP terminal, full catering services, H24 operations, and direct customs facilitation. - *TAG Aviation Paris* — Discreet VIP terminal preferred by diplomatic and high-profile departures; private security screening and armoured vehicle access. - *Dassault Falcon Service* — Specialises in Falcon-fleet maintenance and departure; preferred by Dassault aircraft operators. - *Jet Aviation Le Bourget* — Full-service maintenance and FBO capabilities for long-range jets. **Customs:** H24 French customs and border police (PAF) available on-site.
