A private jet departure from Le Bourget should be seamless from the hotel lobby to the aircraft steps — no queue, no public terminal, no gap between ground transport and aircraft. The same logic applies in reverse on arrival: wheels down, tarmac, vehicle, hotel. The quality of the ground transport in this sequence is not a footnote to the private aviation experience; it is the first and last impression of every journey. FFGR Paris specialises in the ground segment of private aviation movements across all three Paris-area private aviation terminals.
Le Bourget — the primary Paris private aviation terminal
Le Bourget (IATA: LBG) is the principal private aviation airport serving Paris, handling approximately 95% of the region's business and private jet movements. The terminal area is divided between multiple Fixed Base Operators (FBOs): Signature Flight Support, TAG Aviation, and Aéroports de Paris Private Aviation (ADPA) are the principal handlers for high-end private charter and owner-operated aircraft.
For FFGR clients, Le Bourget vehicle access depends on the FBO handling the specific flight. Signature Flight Support operates vehicle-to-tarmac access for pre-approved ground handlers; TAG Aviation has a covered vehicle arrival bay that permits direct transfer between vehicle and building without weather exposure. FFGR coordinates with the FBO handling team twenty-four hours before each movement to confirm vehicle access permissions and arrival bay positioning.
Orly Terminal 4 — the southern Paris option
Orly's Terminal 4 (formerly T4 South) hosts private aviation movements for aircraft based at Orly and for operations that prefer the Orly approach over Le Bourget. The terminal is smaller than Le Bourget's FBO complex, with a more controlled environment — a single landside arrival lane, shorter walking distances between vehicle and aircraft, and less congestion during peak periods.
For clients arriving from the south of France (Nice, Cannes, Saint-Tropez-La Môle) or from short-haul European destinations, Orly T4 is often the operationally preferred terminal. Ground transport from Orly to the Paris centre takes thirty to forty-five minutes via the A6 and the Périphérique, compared to thirty-five to fifty minutes from Le Bourget via the A1.
CDG Terminal 2 — private aviation at the main hub
Charles de Gaulle handles some private aviation movements, primarily for aircraft operators who use the CDG network infrastructure or for fractional ownership programmes with handling agreements at CDG T2G. The private aviation handling at CDG is less intimate than Le Bourget but offers the advantage of direct access to CDG's airspace and slot allocation — relevant for certain long-haul private departures.
Ground transport from CDG private aviation to Paris follows the same A1/Périphérique routing as commercial arrivals. FFGR drivers meet private aviation clients at the T2G dedicated arrival point, not in the general arrivals hall. The coordination procedure is identical to Le Bourget: FBO confirmation, vehicle access protocol, and tarmac-to-vehicle sequencing confirmed twenty-four hours in advance.
Airside access — what it means in practice
Airside access — the ability of a vehicle to drive to the aircraft steps on the tarmac — is available at Le Bourget for pre-approved vehicles and operators. The approval process requires: vehicle registration advance notification to the FBO, driver name and ID confirmation, and in some cases, a handling fee paid to the FBO for the access service.
FFGR Paris maintains standing airside access approval with the principal FBOs at Le Bourget. For clients arriving on private aircraft, our vehicle can be positioned at the aircraft steps within the FBO's approved vehicle zone, so the client walks from the aircraft directly into a climate-controlled vehicle without touching the terminal or passing through any queue. For departures, the same process runs in reverse — vehicle at the steps, luggage loaded directly into the hold by the handling team while the client boards.
The pet travel protocol — flying private with animals
Private aviation clients frequently travel with companion animals. The ground transport protocol for pets differs from the aircraft protocol: while private jets can accommodate animals in the cabin without the restrictions that apply to commercial flights, the ground transport from the terminal to the hotel must account for the animal's comfort, containment, and any restrictions specific to the destination hotel.
FFGR vehicles used for pet transport are cleaned specifically between passenger movements. For clients arriving with dogs, our drivers carry a fresh water supply and, for longer transfers, a portable containment option. All FFGR vehicles are non-smoking and air-filtered. We coordinate with the client's hotel concierge in advance to confirm pet-friendly arrival protocols.
How to book private jet ground transport with FFGR Paris
Private aviation transfers can be confirmed at four hours notice for standard arrivals and departures. For movements requiring airside access or special handling (protection-grade, medical, or VIP state protocol), twenty-four hours minimum advance notice is required. For Paris Air Show week at Le Bourget (odd-numbered years, June), Le Bourget access is restricted — contact us at minimum three weeks in advance for that period.
Contact us at reservation@ffgrparis.com or WhatsApp +33 7 43 46 14 91. Provide: FBO name and terminal, aircraft tail number or operator, estimated arrival/departure time (in UTC), number of passengers, hotel destination in Paris, and any specific requirements (pets, security grade, medical equipment). We confirm the vehicle, driver, and FBO access protocol within two hours of receiving the booking.

The ground segment of a private aviation movement should be invisible — so smooth and well-coordinated that the client gives it no thought. FFGR Paris makes that happen at Le Bourget, Orly, and CDG. Contact us: reservation@ffgrparis.com · WhatsApp +33 7 43 46 14 91.
