Private Jet Charter at Paris–Le Bourget Airport
Paris–Le Bourget (LBG / LFPB) is the Paris region's dedicated business aviation airport, north-east of the city near Saint-Denis. It has no airline flights, so passengers use private FBO terminals with on-site customs. Its main runway is roughly 3,000 metres, long enough for large-cabin jets. Aircraft with more than 25 seats need prior permission.

Why travelers choose Paris–Le Bourget
Signature says central Paris can be about 20 minutes away in light traffic. Paris traffic often makes the trip longer, especially at rush hour.[1]
Le Bourget handles business traffic only, so arrivals avoid the queues at Charles de Gaulle and Orly. Passengers clear customs inside their FBO.[2]
Private aviation operations
Le Bourget has an unusually large choice of FBOs, so operators can pick a terminal for their aircraft type and the services they need.[3]
Aircraft with more than 25 seats need prior permission, which the FBO can help the operator request.[1]
Opening hours vary by FBO. Some are open around the clock and others work set hours with call-out on request, so late arrivals should be confirmed in advance.[1][2]
Final arrangements depend on the aircraft, the operator, any permissions or slots required, and conditions at the airport on the day. RIVIERA JET is a charter broker. Flights are operated by independent, properly certificated operators.
