Paris–Le Bourget Airport LFPB / LBG
Europe's busiest business-aviation airport and the only Paris option for most charter flights, with more than half a dozen competing FBOs and extensive hangarage. Just 30 minutes from the Champs-Élysées outside rush hour; night jet departures are banned so late arrivals need planning. Expect heavy demand and parking premiums during the Paris Air Show (odd years) and fashion weeks.
