London–Paris: Europe's Premier Private Jet Route
London to Paris is the single most trafficked private jet corridor in Europe — and arguably in the world. The 340 km route connecting the UK's financial capital with France's political and cultural capital handles thousands of charter flights per year. Both cities sit at the top of global rankings for private jet demand, and the frequency of travel between the two means that aircraft, crew and handling services on this corridor are highly optimised for fast turnarounds and seamless operations.
By private jet, the flight itself takes just 50 minutes. But the true advantage goes beyond the flight time: arriving at the airport only 15 minutes before departure, no baggage queues, landing at Le Bourget (13 km from central Paris) instead of Charles de Gaulle (23 km) or Orly (14 km), and stepping into a car directly on the tarmac means total city-centre-to-city-centre journey time of approximately 2 hours — competitive with or better than the Eurostar for many travellers.
London Departure Airports for Private Jets
London Luton (LTN) – The Premier Business Aviation Hub
London Luton Airport handles more private jet departures than any other London airport. Its Signature FBO and Harrods Aviation terminal provide dedicated private aviation check-in, lounges and ramp access. Located in Hertfordshire, Luton is well-connected to central London via the M1 and A1(M) motorways, and the Luton Airport Parkway station offers direct rail access. Check-in time for private jets at Luton is typically 15 minutes. Luton is the default choice for most private jet operators on the London–Paris route.
Biggin Hill (BQH) – South London's Hidden Gem
London Biggin Hill Airport, located 18 miles south of central London in the London Borough of Bromley, has grown into one of the UK's leading business aviation airports. Its proximity to the M25, Canary Wharf and the financial districts of South East London makes it the preferred choice for passengers based south of the river. The airport's business aviation terminal handles Eurojet, TAG Aviation and Harrods Aviation FBO services, with 15-minute check-in and private car access to the ramp.
Farnborough (FAB) – The Exclusive Executive Airport
Farnborough Airport in Hampshire is exclusively dedicated to private and business aviation — no commercial traffic, no queues, no airline congestion. It is the departure point of choice for passengers from Surrey, Berkshire and Hampshire, and for ultra-high-net-worth travellers who value the unmatched exclusivity of a pure private aviation environment. TAG Aviation operates the FBO at Farnborough. Approximately 45 minutes from central London by road (outside peak hours), Farnborough is perfect for passengers for whom the ultimate airport experience is a priority.
Paris Arrival: Le Bourget (LBG)
For the vast majority of private jet arrivals in Paris, the destination is Paris Le Bourget (LBG) — Europe's largest dedicated business aviation airport. Located 13 km northeast of central Paris (Gare du Nord is just 15–20 minutes by car), Le Bourget handles over 40,000 private jet movements per year. Its multiple FBO operators — including Signature, TAG Aviation and Dassault Falcon Service — offer private lounges, customs clearance in minutes and direct tarmac car access. Le Bourget is simply the gold standard for private jet arrivals in Paris.

Private Jet vs. Eurostar: London to Paris
The Eurostar takes 2 hours 15 minutes from London St Pancras to Paris Gare du Nord. A private jet takes 50 minutes in the air, with 15 minutes of check-in and 15–20 minutes from Le Bourget to central Paris. For many travellers, total journey time is similar. So what makes a private jet worth it?
- Flexible scheduling: Depart when you want, not when a train is scheduled
- Luggage freedom: No baggage restrictions, ideal for equipment, samples or oversized items
- Privacy and productivity: Hold a meeting in-flight with your team in a private cabin
- Same-day returns: Multiple trips in one day become practical
- Group economics: For 4–7 passengers, private jet price per person rivals business class on the Eurostar
- No check-in queues, no security lines, no delays
