Rome to Paris
Private Jet Charter
Rome to Paris is about two hours in the air, 606 nautical miles from Ciampino over the Alps to Le Bourget, the busiest business aviation airport in Europe and eleven kilometres from the centre of Paris, on a light or midsize jet. It is the fashion and luxury sector between the two capitals, and it flies both ways every week. Same time zone at both ends.

The route
Why fly private from Rome to Paris?
Rome to Paris is the fashion sector on the Italy desk: 606 nautical miles, about two hours in the air, and a landing at Le Bourget, an airport with no airlines at all and the 8th arrondissement half an hour away. The houses with ateliers in both cities, the art calendar, the boards and the weekend all fly it, and a private aircraft turns a Fiumicino-to-Charles de Gaulle half day into a morning.
Why private works here
Ciampino's general aviation terminal needs fifteen minutes of you, Le Bourget has no airlines to share the apron with, and the car is waiting for the half hour into the centre. Fiumicino and Charles de Gaulle drop out of the day, and an 8 am departure from Rome puts you in a Paris meeting before 11 with the jet waiting to bring you home for dinner.
Aircraft fit
606 nautical miles, about two hours, nonstop in every class. A midsize jet is the first quote for the houses and the boards: eight with luggage in a little under two hours with a stand-up cabin. A light jet takes six or seven in about two and a quarter hours and is the cheaper answer for a couple. A super-midsize is quoted for the fashion week entourage or when Paris is the first stop of a day that goes on to London or New York. Le Bourget takes all of them and everything larger; Ciampino takes everything up to super-midsize.
Advisor note
Rome to Paris is a weekly quote for the desk, and Le Bourget makes it simple: three runways, no airlines, handling that works around the aircraft, and parking that only tightens in the fashion weeks and the big Paris events. The desk arranges the handling with the trip and in the peak weeks secures the aircraft as soon as the dates are fixed.

What determines the cost of a Rome to Paris private jet charter?
A two-hour international sector is priced on the aircraft, the trip shape, the handling and the dates. These are the things that move the number on Rome to Paris.
Aircraft
A midsize jet for eight with luggage is the first quote. A light jet, six or seven aboard, costs less; a super-midsize carries an entourage or a day that goes on beyond Paris. Nothing else moves the number as much.
Round trip or two one-ways
A day in Paris keeps the aircraft and crew at Le Bourget. A stay of several nights is usually two one-ways, and with Paris jets heading to Rome every week the desk looks for one already at Le Bourget for the return.
Le Bourget handling and parking
Handling at Le Bourget is on the file, and a stand is confirmed for a stay. In the fashion weeks and the big Paris events the apron fills, and the desk confirms the stand before the jet leaves Ciampino.
Handling at Ciampino
Ciampino handling is arranged with the trip. Its parking tightens during the summer weeks and the fashion calendar, and if the aircraft cannot stay for a return the repositioning is priced at the start.
The season
The Paris fashion weeks, the Milan and Paris couture calendar, and the Christmas weeks are when aircraft between Rome and Paris run short. Book those dates weeks ahead.
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 Rome to Paris?
Two hours over the Alps is a nonstop for every jet the desk brokers in Europe; these three are quoted most on Rome to Paris.
Citation CJ and Phenom 300 class
Six to seven passengers in about two and a quarter hours, and the right money for a couple or a small group.
Citation XLS and Praetor 500 class
Eight passengers with full luggage and a stand-up cabin in a little under two hours, and the usual answer for Rome to Paris.
Challenger 350 and Praetor 600 class
Eight to ten passengers with an entourage of luggage in about an hour and three quarters, and the aircraft when the day continues beyond Paris.

Before you fly
What should I know before flying Rome to Paris?
Passports for everyone aboard, filed with the trip. Rome to Paris is Schengen to 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 before departure.
Le Bourget is the arrival, the busiest business aviation airport in Europe, eleven kilometres north east of the centre with no scheduled airlines and handling built around private aircraft; the 8th arrondissement is half an hour away outside the rush.
On the Rome side the flight leaves from Ciampino, 15 kilometres south east of the centre, 7,218 feet of runway, everything up to super-midsize, half an hour to the city. Fiumicino, 30 kilometres west with four runways and a general aviation terminal, is right when you are arriving on a scheduled flight or the jet is too large; the desk's note on the choice is LIRA versus LIRF.
No time change. Rome and Paris share Central European Time, so two hours airborne is two hours on the clock, and a day trip works from either end.
When to go
When is the best time to fly Rome to Paris?
It is a business and fashion sector and flies all year. Aircraft and Le Bourget parking tighten in the Paris fashion weeks, the couture calendar, the big Paris events and the Christmas weeks, when the same midsize jets are wanted in both directions; give the desk those dates weeks ahead.
Other weeks a few days is normal, and a midsize jet can often leave the next day.

Questions
Rome to Paris private jet questions
How long is a private flight from Rome to Paris?
About 1 hour 45 on a super-midsize, a little under two hours on a midsize jet and about 2 hours 15 on a light jet, 606 nautical miles from Ciampino to Le Bourget over the Alps. Half an hour more by road at each end, Rome and the 8th arrondissement alike.
Which airport do private jets use in Paris?
Le Bourget, about eleven kilometres north east of the centre: three runways, the longest about 9,843 feet, no airlines, handling built around private aircraft and the busiest business aviation traffic in Europe. The car for the half hour into the centre waits on the apron.
Ciampino or Fiumicino for Paris?
Ciampino, 15 kilometres south east of the centre, for almost every trip, since its 7,218 foot runway takes everything up to super-midsize. Fiumicino, 30 kilometres west, when you are connecting from a scheduled flight or the aircraft is larger than Ciampino allows.
Which aircraft is best for Rome to Paris?
For eight with luggage, a Citation XLS or Praetor 500 class midsize, the first quote. For six or seven at lower cost, a Citation CJ4 or Phenom 300 class light jet. For an entourage or a day that continues beyond Paris, a Challenger 350 or Praetor 600 class super-midsize.
What documents do I need for Rome to Paris?
Passports for everyone. This is a Schengen flight, so border control is nominal for most passengers; the crew still checks documents at the aircraft, and the desk confirms entry requirements for non-EU nationals before departure; the crew and passenger details go on the file with the flight.
Does Le Bourget need a slot?
Not in the airline sense for most movements. Le Bourget runs on handling and parking, both arranged with the trip, and in the fashion weeks and the big Paris events the desk confirms the stand before the aircraft leaves Rome.
Can I do Rome to Paris and back in a day?
Yes, often. An 8 am departure from Ciampino makes a Paris meeting before 11, and an evening departure from Le Bourget has you home in Rome for a late dinner. The aircraft and crew wait at Le Bourget through the day with the stand on the file.
What determines the cost of a Rome to Paris charter?
The aircraft, day return or two one-ways, Le Bourget handling and parking, Ciampino handling, and whether the dates fall on a fashion week or Christmas. The quote lists what it covers before you commit, and the number is the number you pay.
Can I fly Paris to Rome on the same page?
Yes. Paris to Rome is quoted the same way: Le Bourget handling for the departure, Ciampino for the arrival on almost every trip, and the desk checks whether a jet already at Le Bourget makes the leg cheaper. Put Paris as the departure in the form.
Is there customs on a Rome to Paris flight?
Rome to Paris is inside Schengen, so customs and immigration are light; the crew checks documents at the aircraft and there is no security line to stand in. You arrive at the Ciampino general aviation terminal fifteen minutes before departure and walk out to the jet.
Can I fly Rome to Paris during fashion week?
Yes, with notice. Paris fashion weeks and the couture calendar are when this sector's aircraft and Le Bourget stands go first, and the desk needs firm dates weeks out. The same midsize jets are wanted in Paris from Milan as well in those weeks.
How much notice do I need to book Rome to Paris?
Outside the peaks, a few days is enough, and a midsize jet can often leave the next day. For the fashion weeks, the big Paris events and Christmas, weeks ahead, because the aircraft and the Le Bourget stand are what run short.
