Send the dates and the party size. On this corridor the useful detail is the departure field, whether you want the evening eastbound or a daytime crossing, baggage volume, and whether Le Bourget or an alternative suits where you are staying.
Every mission is quoted individually. No prices are published on this page, and no aircraft, slot or parking is held until it is confirmed by the operator and the authority.
The New York to Paris corridor
Paris is the second transatlantic corridor after London, and it behaves differently. The traffic is seasonal in a way London's is not — fashion weeks, the auction and art calendar, Roland-Garros, the summer exodus south, and the December luxury season all compress demand into predictable windows where aircraft and apron parking are the constraint rather than the routing.
The sector itself is straightforward: a little over 3,100 nautical miles, flown comfortably non-stop by heavy and ultra-long-range cabins, and by the strongest super-midsize aircraft with a modest party. Eastbound is usually flown overnight; westbound runs longer against the wind.
Le Bourget is the arrival. It is Europe's busiest business aviation airport, seven miles north of central Paris, with multiple FBOs and private immigration and customs. Noise and operating-hour restrictions are real and are planned into the schedule rather than discovered on the night. [VERIFY current Le Bourget curfew and slot arrangements for your dates]
Where Le Bourget is full — and during fashion week and the summer peak it does fill — Paris-Vatry, Beauvais or Chartres can carry the aircraft with a longer drive, and Charles de Gaulle handles the airliner-size movements. We say which applies to your dates before proposing a plan.
The sectors, and the honest distances
Figures below are planning indications rather than a schedule — they move with aircraft type, routing, winds and payload, and each is marked for your verification. No prices are published; every mission is quoted on the day.
- New York to Paris — Roughly 3,100 to 3,200 nautical miles, planned as approximately 7 to 7.5 hours eastbound and 8 to 8.5 hours westbound against the jet stream. [VERIFY distance and block time]
- Teterboro (TEB / KTEB) — The default departure — business aviation only, twelve miles from Midtown, with FBOs including Signature Flight Support, Meridian and Jet Aviation.
- Westchester County (HPN / KHPN) and JFK (KJFK) — Westchester for the northern suburbs and Connecticut; JFK where airline connections, cargo or diplomatic clearance make a commercial field the right answer.
- Paris-Le Bourget (LBG / LFPB) — Europe's busiest business aviation airport, seven miles from central Paris, with several FBOs and private immigration and customs. Slots, parking and operating-hour restrictions are confirmed before the schedule is promised.
- Alternatives when Le Bourget is full — Paris-Vatry, Beauvais and Chartres can take the aircraft with a longer road transfer; Charles de Gaulle handles airliner-size movements with executive handling. [VERIFY current drive times]
- Onward legs from Paris — Nice, Geneva, Milan and London are one to two hours from Le Bourget, so a Paris arrival often opens a multi-leg European week rather than a single destination.
What flies this corridor non-stop
Just over 3,100 nautical miles puts the heavy cabins squarely in their element and asks a real question of the super-midsize category westbound. Passenger counts depend on the individual aircraft's configuration rather than the type. Full specifications for each type are on the charter fleet pages.
- Heavy jet — the natural choice — Large-cabin heavy jets carry a full party with baggage non-stop in both directions in most conditions, with a flat-bed rest arrangement for the eastbound night. The category most of these crossings are flown on.
- Ultra-long-range jet — margin and comfort — Stateroom or divan rest, a full galley, Ka-band connectivity and range margin in any wind. The right aircraft when the westbound is flown with a full load or the arrival condition matters.
- Super-midsize jet — the lighter mission — The strongest super-midsize cabins reach Paris non-stop with a small party and light baggage. Westbound margin is the honest question, and we check it against your payload rather than the brochure.
- VIP airliner — fashion, media and delegations — BBJ and ACJ cabins carry fifteen to forty with suites, a conference area and generous hold space for wardrobe and production equipment — the practical answer for a show, a tour or a large delegation.
Arriving in Paris
Le Bourget (LBG / LFPB)
Private immigration and customs at the FBO, vehicles to the aircraft steps and a short transfer into the city by Paris standards.
Operating hours and noise restrictions apply and are planned into the schedule. [VERIFY current curfew and drive time to central Paris]
Schengen arrival
Passenger and crew documentation is filed in advance and cleared privately at the FBO.
For onward European legs the Schengen position of your next destination changes the handling, which we brief before the itinerary is fixed.
Peak weeks
Fashion weeks, the art and auction calendar, Roland-Garros and the summer weeks compress aircraft and apron parking at Le Bourget.
Where parking is the constraint, the aircraft may reposition after drop-off and return for the pick-up — a normal plan we price transparently rather than hide.
Timing and lead time
A few days is usually comfortable outside the peak windows; fashion week and the summer peak deserve weeks rather than days.
A typical plan departs Teterboro in the evening and lands Le Bourget mid-morning local, with vehicles waiting planeside.

Questions we are asked on this corridor
Can a private jet fly non-stop from New York to Paris?
Yes — heavy and ultra-long-range cabins fly it non-stop in both directions routinely, and the strongest super-midsize jets manage it with a small party and light baggage. Westbound winter winds are the variable we check against your payload.
How long is the flight from New York to Paris by private jet?
Plan on approximately 7 to 7.5 hours eastbound and 8 to 8.5 hours westbound. Actual block time varies with aircraft type, routing, winds and payload. [VERIFY]
Do private jets land at Le Bourget or Charles de Gaulle?
Le Bourget is the business aviation airport and the normal arrival — seven miles from central Paris with private immigration and customs. Charles de Gaulle is used for airliner-size movements, and Vatry, Beauvais or Chartres when Le Bourget parking is full.
Can you fly during fashion week?
Yes, and it is one of our busiest Paris windows — but aircraft and apron parking at Le Bourget are genuinely constrained, so the earlier we have your dates the more honest the options are. We never hold a slot or a parking stand that has not been confirmed.
Can we add Nice, Geneva or Milan to the trip?
Yes. Those sectors are one to two hours from Le Bourget, and a multi-leg European week is often the reason the private aircraft makes sense at all. We plan crew duty and aircraft parking across the whole itinerary rather than leg by leg.
How much does a private jet from New York to Paris cost?
We do not publish a figure. The quote is built from the aircraft category, positioning, dates, passengers and baggage, permits, handling, parking and crew duty and rest. Every request is quoted individually.
How much baggage can we take?
It depends on the individual aircraft rather than the type — hold volume, garment-bag capacity and takeoff weight for the sector all matter. Tell us what is travelling, including skis, golf clubs or wardrobe trunks, and we plan the aircraft around it.
Who operates the aircraft?
Licensed third-party operators holding their own FAA Part 135, UK or EASA air carrier certificates. Where a carrier holds a rating such as ARGUS Platinum, IS-BAO registration or Wyvern Wingman, that rating belongs to the operator and is confirmed at quotation. MEGA does not hold or claim those ratings itself.
