A private jet flies from Paris to New York in 7 to 8 hours, with no commercial terminal involved. The most common route runs from Paris Le Bourget (LBG) to Teterboro (TEB) in New Jersey, 19 km from Midtown Manhattan. The firm price depends on the aircraft, the date and the operator. The live block at the top of the page gives you an estimate.
You board at Le Bourget, clear formalities at the FBO and land close to Manhattan. Here is what to know before you ask for a quote.
How long is a private jet flight from Paris to New York?
Allow 7h50 to 8 hours for a direct flight from Paris to New York. AeroAffaires quotes 7h55 for a Praetor 600 and 7h50 for a Gulfstream G800 (viewed in November 2026). Its FAQ describes a direct flight of 7 to 8 hours, depending on the aircraft, the weather and the routing.
The distance between Teterboro and Le Bourget is 5,839 km, according to Lunajets. That operator publishes estimated times by aircraft for the New York to Paris direction, rounded to 5 minutes.
| Aircraft | Estimated time (Teterboro to Le Bourget) |
|---|---|
| Gulfstream GV | 7h10 |
| Bombardier Global 7500 | 7h20 |
| Bombardier Global 6000 | 7h35 |
| Dassault Falcon 7X | 7h35 |
| Gulfstream GIV-SP | 8h00 |
These figures are calculations, not commitments. Winds, routing and air traffic all move them. They also apply to the New York to Paris direction. For the other way, use the 7h50 to 7h55 quoted above, which relate to different aircraft.
Why leave from Le Bourget and land at Teterboro?
Because both airfields are built for business aviation. Le Bourget lies about 11 km north-east of Paris and is open around the clock, according to AeroAffaires. Teterboro is 12 miles (19 km) from Midtown, with a 7,000 ft runway and four private facilities on site, says Global Charter.
You do have alternatives. AeroAffaires also lists Roissy-CDG and Orly in Paris. Orly closes from about 00:30 to 03:30, except in exceptional cases. In New York, Westchester (HPN) is about 50 minutes from Manhattan, and JFK and Newark both have private terminals. Teterboro remains the closest to Manhattan.
To compare the options, see our page on business airfields.
What is there at Le Bourget before departure?
The business terminal is set up for a long crossing. Universal Weather and Aviation lists a passenger lounge, a crew lounge and a heated 3,000 sq m hangar that takes aircraft up to BBJ size. An in-flight catering kitchen, Air Culinaire Worldwide, has been on site since 2016.
The same guide flags one winter issue. De-icing is offered by three suppliers, but delays can reach 30 to 60 minutes or more. Build in some slack if you fly between November and March.
Which jet can cross the Atlantic?
The operators quoted here show flights on Gulfstreams, Bombardier Globals and the Dassault Falcon 7X. Lunajets does not say whether these aircraft need a fuel stop. Ask the operator when you request a quote.
The choice then comes down to passenger numbers and luggage. AeroAffaires offers, for example, an 8-seat Praetor 600, a 15-seat Gulfstream G800 and a 25-seat ACJ 330 Neo.
One useful reminder. A/XESS does not own or operate aircraft. Flights are operated by licensed carriers, and our chartering partner passes you the operator’s firm quote.
What formalities should you plan for in Paris and New York?
They are short, but they need planning. At Le Bourget, Universal Weather and Aviation says customs clearance takes 5 to 10 minutes at the FBO, 24 hours a day, with no customs fees. No slot or prior permission is needed except during special events. A Gendec is required for all flights.
Watch the hours. Jet departures from the apron are banned from 22:15 to 06:00 local time, except for approved medical evacuations. A late departure needs planning well ahead.
At Teterboro, Global Charter confirms that US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is on site. The airport is open 24 hours a day, with a voluntary noise restraint period from 23:00 to 06:00. Guides disagree on the exact customs hours. Have the operator confirm them before you fix an arrival time.
How much does a private jet from Paris to New York cost?
The live block at the top of the article shows the current price. For a rough order of magnitude, Global Charter publishes an indicative fare from €58,300 for the New York to Paris route (viewed in November 2026). The amount moves with cabin size, season and aircraft availability.
