Business aviation handling
Le Bourget has no airline terminal in use for scheduled flights; passengers use the FBOs' own terminals, including Signature, Jet Aviation, Jetex, Universal Aviation and Dassault Falcon Service.
Signature Paris Le Bourget

Jet Aviation Paris-Le Bourget
Took over ASTONSKY's FBO, handling and hangarage on 1 August 2025. FBO opened in 2019 with large lounges, crew rooms and sleeping rooms, and three adjacent hangars of about 3,500 m2 taking aircraft up to the Gulfstream G700.

Worth knowing before you fly
- The 22:15 local cut-off for jet departures is the key limit. Late dinners or evening meetings in Paris need a wheels-up plan well before 22:15, as the aircraft must have left its stand by then.
- Arrivals are less restricted than departures: jets certified to Chapter 3, 4 or 14 may land at night, so a late arrival is usually easier to arrange than a late departure.
- There is a wide choice of FBOs, each with its own terminal and customs clearance, so passengers never use an airline terminal. The FBO must be named in the flight plan.
- Le Bourget is not on the French list of slot-coordinated airports, but Universal Aviation notes that slots can apply during special events, and temporary rules are published for events such as the Paris Air Show.
