Why Jetex Paris at Le Bourget
Le Bourget is dedicated to business aviation and is widely referenced as Europe’s leading business‑aviation airport, with multiple premium FBOs and ultra‑fast passenger flows compared to commercial terminals. It sits just northeast of central Paris, with straightforward access via the A1/A3/A86 autoroutes.
Jetex Paris (LBG) operates 24/7 and offers direct ramp access, a VIP lounge, private car parking, dedicated customer parking, and full ground handling. The facility is located at 6–8 rue Henri Lossier, Bât. 34, Aéroport Paris‑Le Bourget; Jetex also publishes handling frequencies and contacts for rapid coordination.
Slots, CIQ & Security—What Actually Matters
Airport slots (LBG)
Under normal conditions, Le Bourget does not require airport slots for GA/BA movements (Level 1). That said, the French coordinator (COHOR) can impose temporary coordination windows during major events or ATC transitions (e.g., air shows, systems upgrades). Always have the operator or FBO confirm the current status before you finalize ground logistics.
CIQ (Customs, Immigration, Quarantine)
CIQ formalities are performed at the FBO with Police aux Frontières (immigration) and Douanes (customs). Expect identity checks for all passengers and crew; non‑Schengen arrivals (e.g., UK, US, UAE) clear passports on site, and customs inspection may be requested. Your handler (Jetex) coordinates timings with the authorities.
Security & airside access for vehicles
French aviation‑security rules restrict access to the airport’s security‑restricted (airside) areas to badged personnel and escorted vehicles. In practice, if you want a vehicle at the aircraft steps, Jetex must pre‑arrange and escort it in line with DGAC/airport procedures; driver ID and vehicle details are required in advance. Treat airside vehicle access as by exception, case‑by‑case.
Driving & Connections
Transfer times: Le Bourget is typically 20–40 minutes by car from central Paris (traffic dependent). ExecuJet notes ~20 minutes to the city from LBG, and there are established helicopter connections between Le Bourget and the Heliport de Paris (Issy‑les‑Moulineaux), which many itineraries use for a 10–15‑minute transfer.
Road access: For chauffeurs, the usual approach is via the A1/A3/A86 (follow airport signage to the GA zone and Jetex building at Bât. 34). Pre‑clear the vehicle with Jetex if you’re aiming for curbside at the FBO or an escorted airside pickup.
Your T‑Minus Timeline (Concierge Checklist)
T‑72 to T‑48 hours
— Confirm whether slots or PPR are in effect (check with Jetex; during major events like the Paris Air Show, parking restrictions and closures apply).
— Lock in CIQ timing with the operator/Jetex (especially for non‑Schengen arrivals).
— Share passenger names, passport details, and pets/cargo specifics with the operator for regulatory filings (API/PNR submissions for France are handled by the operator/handler).
T‑24 hours
— Send vehicle details to Jetex: number plate, driver name and mobile, make/model; request curbside or escorted parking plan.
— If aiming for airside vehicle presence at the aircraft, ask Jetex feasibility and required approvals (treat as a special service).
— Confirm supercar delivery timing (Ocars) to the Jetex terminal; specify any luggage needs or accessories (child seats, garment bags, Wi‑Fi hotspot).
Day‑of Arrival
— Landside flow: Jetex meets car curbside → quick ID/security → baggage loaded → wheels rolling within minutes, subject to CIQ when applicable.
— Heli connection: If using Issy heliport, coordinate stands and luggage handoff; typical flight time ~15 minutes, subject to ATC/heliport slots.
Departure (what to tell the driver)
— For Schengen flights, arriving ~20–30 minutes ahead is often sufficient; for non‑Schengen, budget a little more for CIQ. Always follow the operator’s call based on passenger count, luggage, and crew requests.
— Ask Jetex to pre‑stage the car inside the FBO perimeter (landside) so passengers step from lounge to vehicle with minimal exposure.
Peak‑Day Watchouts
During the Paris Air Show at Le Bourget (June 16–22 in 2025), the airport enforces unusual parking restrictions, closures, and accreditation requirements. Similar constraints can arise during global events or ATC transitions. Lock your plan early—or consider alternates Jetex can handle (CDG, ORY, Pontoise).
Supercar & Chauffeur Playbook (Paris)
Best pairings for Jetex Paris runs
Executive arrival + city meetings: Choose a long‑wheelbase sedan for rear‑seat comfort and quiet cabins. Consider our Mercedes‑Benz S 400 Long—rear executive seating, discrete presence, effortless A‑B transfers.
Family or entourage, multiple bags: A luxury SUV with soft‑close doors and wide cargo apertures keeps things smooth at the FBO curb. The Range Rover is ideal for hotel hopping and boutique stops.
Celebratory drop‑off at the hotel or dinner: For guests who want a moment, hand them a V8 convertible thrill: Ferrari F8 Spider for a Seine‑at‑sunset drive and arrivals with theatre.
Delivery & handover tips at Jetex
— Share driver details and ETAs with Jetex in the flight notes so they pre‑stage parking and badges/escorts if needed.
— If baggage handlers are assisting, tag performance luggage (carbon cases, garment bags) by passenger to speed loading.
— For post‑flight pampering, we can pre‑cool or pre‑heat the cabin, stock mineral waters, and drop a Paris route card (fine‑dining stops, Champs‑Élysées closures, tunnel advisories).
