Florence to Paris
Private Jet Charter
Florence to Paris is about an hour and a half in the air, 477 nautical miles from Peretola over the Alps to Le Bourget, the busiest business aviation airport in Europe and eleven kilometres from the centre of Paris, on a light jet. The fashion and leather houses with ateliers in both cities, the art calendar and the families fly it, and Florence's short runway decides the aircraft. Same time zone at both ends.

The route
Why fly private from Florence to Paris?
Florence to Paris is the long sector on the Florence desk: 477 nautical miles, about an hour and a half in the air, and a landing at Le Bourget, an airport with no airlines at all and the 8th arrondissement half an hour away. By airline it is a change in Rome or a scheduled flight from Pisa; by train it is a day. The fashion and leather houses, the galleries and auction houses, and the families with a Tuscan house and a Paris apartment fly it.
Why private works here
Peretola's general aviation terminal is four kilometres from the centre, and Le Bourget has no airlines at all, so the car is on the apron and the 8th arrondissement is half an hour away outside the rush. The alternatives are a scheduled flight out of Pisa or a change in Rome, either of which turns a morning into a day. A 9 am departure from Florence is in a Paris meeting before noon, and the jet brings you home for a late dinner.
Aircraft fit
This is the longest sector the Florence desk quotes from Peretola, 477 nautical miles, and the 5,741 foot runway still decides the type. A light jet carries six or seven in about an hour and a half without a fuel stop and is the first quote for the fashion houses and the galleries. A turboprop carries eight with cases in a little under two hours at lower cost, and for a family it is often the better money. A midsize jet cannot leave Peretola with a full load, so eight with full luggage means Pisa or Bologna and a drive, and the desk says so at the first quote.
Advisor note
Florence to Paris is ninety minutes over the Alps out of a short field into the busiest business aviation airport in Europe. The desk checks the light jet against Peretola's runway for the day's temperature and load, arranges the Le Bourget handling on the file, and in the fashion weeks secures the aircraft as soon as the dates exist because the apron there fills first.

What determines the cost of a Florence to Paris private jet charter?
A ninety-minute international sector is priced on the aircraft, the trip shape, the handling and the dates. These are the things that move the number on Florence to Paris.
Aircraft
Light jet first, turboprop for eight at lower cost with a little more time, and no midsize from Peretola with a full load. Between those two the swing in the quote is the biggest single line.
Round trip or two one-ways
A day in Paris keeps the jet and crew at Le Bourget until you are done. Several nights is usually two one-ways, and the desk checks for an aircraft already parked at Le Bourget that can fly you home for less.
Le Bourget handling and parking
Le Bourget runs on handling and parking rather than airline slots, both arranged on the file. During the fashion weeks and the big Paris events the apron fills, and the desk confirms a stand before the jet leaves Florence.
Handling at Peretola
Peretola handling is on the same file, and the desk quotes the type against the runway for the day's temperature and load, so the number does not change on the morning.
The season
The Paris fashion weeks and the couture calendar, the art fairs and the Christmas weeks pull every light jet in Tuscany towards Paris at once. Fix those dates with the desk weeks in advance.
What the number covers
We tell you what the quote covers before you book and we hold the operator to the number we gave you. No surprises on the invoice is the point of using the desk.
Aircraft
Which aircraft flies Florence to Paris?
Florence's runway decides the fleet. These are the aircraft quoted most on Florence to Paris.
Citation CJ and Phenom 300 class
Six to seven passengers in about an hour and a half, and the usual answer for Florence to Paris.
Pilatus PC-12 and King Air 350 class
Eight passengers with luggage in a little under two hours, and the right money for a family or a team with cases.
Citation XLS class, from Pisa or Bologna
When the group outgrows the light jet, a midsize jet leaves from Pisa or Bologna, an hour from Florence, and the desk says so at the first quote.

Before you fly
What should I know before flying Florence to Paris?
Passports for everyone aboard. Italy and France are both Schengen, so most passengers see no border control, but the crew checks documents at the aircraft, and the desk confirms entry requirements for non-EU nationals with the trip.
Le Bourget is the Paris airport for this sector, eleven kilometres north east of the centre, three runways with the longest about 9,843 feet, no scheduled airlines and handling built around private aircraft. The 8th arrondissement is about half an hour by road outside the rush.
On the Florence side the desk works from Peretola, four kilometres from the centre, and the 5,741 foot runway sets the ceiling at a light jet with a full load. When a midsize jet is the right aircraft it leaves from Pisa or Bologna, an hour away.
No time change. Both cities are on Central European Time, so ninety minutes airborne is ninety minutes on the clock, out at 9 and in Paris before noon.
When to go
When is the best time to fly Florence to Paris?
Fashion weeks, the couture calendar, the art fairs and Christmas are when this sector tightens, because the light jets that fly it from Tuscany are wanted in Paris from Milan and Rome as well; commit dates weeks ahead for those.
Otherwise a few days is enough, and a light jet can usually go the following day.

Questions
Florence to Paris private jet questions
How long is a private flight from Florence to Paris?
About ninety minutes on a light jet and a little under two hours on a turboprop, 477 nautical miles over the Alps from Peretola to Le Bourget, with no fuel stop in either type. A midsize jet positioned at Pisa or Bologna does it in about an hour and twenty-five.
Which Paris airport does the jet use?
Le Bourget, eleven kilometres north east of the centre. It has three runways, the longest about 9,843 feet, no scheduled airlines and handling built around private aircraft, and it carries more business aviation traffic than any other airport in Europe. The 8th arrondissement is half an hour by road outside the rush.
Can a private jet fly from Florence to Paris?
Yes. A light jet out of Peretola, four kilometres from the centre with a 5,741 foot runway, does it in about an hour and a half. For eight with full luggage the desk moves the departure to Pisa or Bologna and a midsize jet.
Which aircraft is best for Florence to Paris?
A Citation CJ4 or Phenom 300 class light jet, six or seven passengers, is the desk's first quote. A PC-12 or King Air 350 class turboprop takes eight with luggage for less money and a little more time. Peretola rules out anything larger with a full load.
What documents do I need for Florence to Paris?
Passports for everyone aboard. Florence to Paris stays inside Schengen, so most passengers see no border control, but the crew checks documents at the aircraft and the desk clears entry requirements for non-EU nationals before departure, with the passenger list filed alongside the trip.
Is there a slot to file at Le Bourget?
For most movements, no. Le Bourget runs on handling and parking, both arranged on the file. In the fashion weeks and the big Paris events the apron fills, so the desk confirms a stand before the jet leaves Florence rather than discovering the problem on arrival.
Can I do Florence to Paris and back in a day?
Yes. A 9 am departure from Peretola lands you in a Paris meeting before noon, and an evening departure from Le Bourget has you back in Florence for a late dinner. The jet and crew wait at Le Bourget through the day, with the stand confirmed on the file.
What determines the cost of a Florence to Paris charter?
The aircraft first, then whether it is a day return or two one-ways, the Le Bourget handling and parking, and whether the dates land on a fashion week or Christmas. Every quote says what it includes before you commit, and the desk holds the operator to it.
Can I fly Paris to Florence on the same page?
Yes. Paris to Florence is quoted the same way, with the type still chosen for Peretola's runway, and the desk looks for a jet already at Le Bourget that can make the leg cheaper. Enter Paris as the departure in the form.
Is there customs on a Florence to Paris flight?
Florence to Paris is a Schengen flight, so customs and immigration are light and the crew checks documents at the aircraft. No airline terminal, no security line: you arrive at the general aviation terminal at Peretola shortly before departure and walk to the aircraft.
Can I fly Florence to Paris during fashion week?
Yes, with notice. Paris fashion week and the couture shows are the tightest dates on this sector for both aircraft and Le Bourget parking, and the desk needs firm dates weeks ahead to hold either. The same light jets are wanted in Paris from Milan and Rome that week.
How much notice do I need to book Florence to Paris?
A few days outside the peaks, and a light jet can usually go the following day. For the fashion weeks, the art fairs and Christmas, weeks ahead, because the light jets and the Le Bourget apron both fill and the desk cannot conjure either at short notice.
