When is the best time to find an empty leg to Paris?
Paris empty legs cluster around Le Bourget (LFPB), a dedicated business aviation airport with no airline traffic, and follow the same weekend rhythm as London: south on Thursday and Friday, north on Sunday and Monday.
Le Bourget sits about 13 km north-east of the centre of Paris in a straight line and handles no scheduled airline traffic, which keeps turnaround times short. Charles de Gaulle has general aviation handling but its size and slot pressure make it the second choice for most operators.
The Paris to Nice corridor is the busiest domestic private jet route in France and the main source of empty legs into and out of the capital from May to September. Geneva, Milan, London and Ibiza follow. Paris Fashion Week in late February and late September, the Cannes Film Festival in May and the Monaco Grand Prix on the same weekend create spikes of one-way demand and, a few days later, of empty legs back to Le Bourget.
Prices on Paris routes are quoted in euros. Very light and light jets dominate the short sectors; heavy jets appear on the Gulf routes and on transatlantic positioning flights to Teterboro.
