New York against Paris, year round

The leg

Paris to New York

Measured airport to airport, LBG to TEB is 3,150 nautical miles. A heavy jet does it nonstop in something close to 7h 06m once taxi, climb and descent are counted.

At this range the question stops being which cabin you prefer and becomes which aircraft can physically do it. Most of the light and midsize market cannot, and the ones that can will be doing it with a technical stop. New York runs 6 hours behind of Paris year round, which is worth building into the schedule at both ends.

The smallest aircraft that clears this leg nonstop with real margin is the Embraer Praetor 600, a super midsize jet. A further 8 aircraft can do it nonstop on a good day, and those are the quotes worth reading carefully. A marginal leg becomes a fuel stop the moment the winds turn, the cabin fills, or the departure field is hot and high. 21 of the aircraft we track cannot make it without stopping at all, which does not rule them out. A stop on a cheaper airframe sometimes still wins on total cost, and the bid comparison will show you whether it does.

Book range figures assume long range cruise, standard reserves and a stated payload. Load the cabin, add bags, put the departure field at elevation on a hot afternoon, and the real number comes down. We treat anything above roughly 80 percent of book range as a leg that needs the operator to confirm against the specific tail number rather than the brochure.

Airports

Which runway you actually use

Departing Paris. Most charter traffic uses Paris Le Bourget (LFPB / LBG). The credible alternates are Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Paris Orly (ORY). Which one you leave from is worth deciding on ground time rather than on the map, because twenty minutes of extra driving often buys a cheaper ramp and a faster departure.

Arriving New York. Most charter traffic uses Teterboro (KTEB / TEB). The credible alternates are Westchester County (HPN), Morristown Municipal (MMU), Republic (FRG), John F Kennedy (JFK) and Newark Liberty (EWR). Pick the one closest to where you are actually going. The airport with the famous name is frequently the wrong answer.

Teterboro applies a 100,000 lb maximum certificated takeoff weight limit, which rules out the largest airframes.

Runway length, ramp space and operating hours at the arrival field decide the aircraft as often as range does. Have the operator confirm all three against the tail number they are offering.

Cost

What moves the number

The honest answer to what this costs is that it depends, so here is precisely what it depends on.

Positioning. Where the aircraft sits when you call. If it is already on your departure ramp you pay for your legs only. If it has to fly in empty and fly home afterwards, someone pays for that, and it is you.
Daily minimum. Most operators bill a minimum number of flight hours per day the aircraft is away. A short leg with a three night stay can price higher than a long leg that returns the same day.
Crew duty. A crew has a legal duty limit. Cross enough time zones or depart late enough and the trip needs a second crew or an overnight, and both cost money.
Ramp and handling. Landing fees, ramp fees, overnight parking and the FBO handling charge vary enormously between fields in the same metro.
Peak days. Operators apply surcharges around the predictable weekends. Thanksgiving Sunday, the Super Bowl, Art Basel, the Fourth of July and the ski season change of week all price differently.
Fuel and stops. A technical stop costs fuel to climb back to altitude, a landing fee, handling, and forty five minutes to an hour of ground time.
De-icing. Winter departures from northern fields add de-icing, which is charged by volume of fluid and can be a serious number on a large aircraft.
International handling. Customs, immigration, overflight permits, landing permits and a local handling agent. On some routings the permits need days of lead time.

Our fee sits on top of the operator price as its own line, visible, so you can see both halves. Send the trip and the operators bid against each other on all of the above at once.

Timing

Season, weather and the clock

Demand on this pair follows the business calendar more than the weather. The tight weeks are the ones either side of major holidays, when the same aircraft are wanted in both directions at once.

How long is a private jet flight from Paris to New York?

The great circle distance is 3,150 nautical miles, which is about 5,833 km. A heavy jet covers it nonstop in roughly 7h 06m block to block. A heavy jet flies the distance in about 7h 06m, and a light jet in about 7h 16m if it can make it without stopping. These are planning estimates in still air and exclude winds and air traffic routing.

Can a light jet fly Paris to New York nonstop?

No. This leg needs about 160 percent of a light jet's published range, so plan on a fuel stop or move up to a class with the legs for it. The smallest aircraft that does it nonstop with margin is the Embraer Praetor 600.

Which airport should I use in New York?

Teterboro (KTEB) handles most charter traffic. The alternates are Westchester County (HPN), Morristown Municipal (MMU), Republic (FRG), John F Kennedy (JFK) and Newark Liberty (EWR). Choose on ground time to your final address rather than on the name you recognise. Teterboro applies a 100,000 lb maximum certificated takeoff weight limit, which rules out the largest airframes.

Do I clear customs on a private flight from Paris to New York?

Yes. Crossing a border on a private aircraft still means customs and immigration at both ends, but it happens at the private terminal rather than in a terminal queue, and it is usually a matter of minutes. The operator files the passenger manifest in advance, so passport details are needed before departure rather than at the airport. Some routings also need landing or overflight permits with days of lead time, which is worth raising early.

What does a private jet from Paris to New York cost?

We do not publish a figure, because a fixed number for this route would be invented. The dominant variable is where the aircraft is parked when you call, not the aircraft type. Positioning legs, daily minimums, crew duty, ramp fees, peak day surcharges and taxes all move the total. Send the trip through the quote form and certificated operators bid against each other on it, sealed, without knowing who you are.

Are empty legs available on this route?

Sometimes. An empty leg exists when an operator has to reposition an aircraft along this track anyway, so the timing is theirs and not yours. They appear and vanish with little notice and get cancelled when the paying trip behind them changes. Flag empty legs on the quote form and we will include any that fit your window, but do not build a fixed commitment around one.
