Paris-Le Bourget (LBG) is the private jet airport for Paris. Groupe ADP, which runs it, calls it Europe’s leading business airport: three runways on 553 hectares north of the city, no regular commercial traffic since 1981, and 56,645 aircraft movements in 2019. It takes everything from small twin engine aircraft to an Airbus A380. Five FBOs that we could check on their own sites operate here, from Dassault’s own terminal to Jetex and Signature. This guide covers each one and what the routes into Paris cost.

Where Le Bourget Is

Le Bourget sits just north of Paris and is the home of the Paris Air Show. Groupe ADP’s documents state that it stopped handling regular commercial traffic in 1981, which leaves the field to business aviation. Universal Aviation’s guide for operators notes there are no airport slots at Le Bourget, with exceptions during special events such as the air show, and that parking must be arranged with the FBO in advance.

Le Bourget FBOs

These FBOs list a Paris-Le Bourget location on their own websites:

  • Dassault Falcon Service, 53-55 Avenue de l’Europe, a Dassault Aviation subsidiary next to its maintenance centre, with a 24 hour line. Dassault says it handles aircraft up to the A319 and BBJ.
  • Jet Aviation, which took over the ASTONSKY FBO and has operated there since August 1, 2025, open 24 hours.
  • Jetex, 6-8 rue Henri Lossier, the company’s first FBO, opened in 2009, with 24/7 operations listed.
  • Signature Aviation, Terminal 1, 45 Avenue de l’Europe, open from 06:00 to 22:00 every day.
  • Universal Aviation, with its own apron and a heated hangar for aircraft up to BBJ size. Its pages give different opening hours, so confirm them for a late arrival.

Customs and immigration clear passengers at the FBO or on board, and Universal puts typical clearance for a standard business jet at 5 to 20 minutes.
