Jet privé Paris - New York

Prices for a private flight between Paris and New York vary widely with the aircraft: budget €75,000 to €85,000 for a heavy jet (e.g. Challenger 604), €90,000 to €110,000 for a mid-range ultra-long-range (Falcon 6X, Global 5500), and up to €145,000 or more for a Gulfstream G650 or Global 7500. These prices include the one-way flight for the entire aircraft. PrivateJetFinder generally offers the most competitive deals by aggregating several operators, while VistaJet and NetJets offer premium availability guarantees at higher rates. Empty-leg flights on this route can cut the bill by 50 to 75%.

By private jet, the direct Paris-New York flight takes between 7h15 and 7h55 depending on aircraft and routing. The Gulfstream G650, capable of Mach 0.925, despatches the trip in around 7h15. A Challenger 604 or a Falcon 900 typically takes 7h30 to 7h50. The westerly winds (jet stream) can shorten the Paris→NY flight by 20 to 30 minutes in favourable seasons. From Le Bourget you board 15 minutes before take-off and land directly at Teterboro, 25 minutes from Manhattan — without going through a commercial terminal.

With a 5,840 km distance, only ultra-long-range jets ensure a non-stop flight in both directions. The Gulfstream G650 (range 12,960 km, 14 passengers, Mach 0.925) is the absolute reference on this route. The Bombardier Global 7500 (14,260 km, 19 passengers) is ideal for groups. The Falcon 6X (10,186 km, 12 passengers) from Dassault is a more confidential French option. Heavy jets such as the Challenger 604 can fly the route but are limited to favourable wind conditions. Avoid midsize or super-midsize jets entirely: they would require a tech stop.

For private aviation, Paris-Le Bourget (LBG) is the absolute European reference — the busiest in Europe for business jets. Located 11 km from the centre of Paris (20 minutes by car without traffic), it features several top-tier FBOs: TAG Aviation, Signature, and the Dassault Falcon terminal. For transatlantic flights, CDG also offers good options (Terminal S for private aviation) and is well served from the 8th, 16th and 17th arrondissements via the A1. Paris-Orly is less popular for long-haul but remains a valid alternative.

New York has several options for private aviation. Teterboro Airport (TEB), in New Jersey, is the main hub: 20-30 minutes from Midtown depending on traffic, it is home to Signature Flight Support and Jet Aviation. JFK has the Million Air FBO, useful for passengers continuing on a commercial connection. Westchester County (HPN) is ideal for reaching Greenwich or Long Island without going through Manhattan. Newark Liberty (EWR) is rarer for private jets but possible. To get from Teterboro to Manhattan in under 15 minutes, some travellers combine private jet + helicopter (Blade or Flightline).

Yes — even by private jet, French nationals (and those of most European countries) must hold an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) to enter the United States. The ESTA is requested online at the official site esta.cbp.dhs.gov, costs US$14 and is valid for 2 years for stays of up to 90 days. Customs checks take place on arrival at Teterboro or JFK in a dedicated CBP zone, far quicker than in a commercial terminal. Also make sure your passport is valid for at least 6 months after the return date.
