2. Executive Company Overview

Paris-Le Bourget Airport, identified by ICAO LFPB and IATA LBG, is a civil airport in the northeastern Paris metropolitan area operated by Groupe ADP and principally dedicated to business and private aviation. Located approximately 6.5 nautical miles north-northeast of central Paris according to the French AIP, Le Bourget combines business-aircraft operations with an unusually extensive concentration of FBOs, maintenance organizations, aircraft manufacturers, aviation service providers and aerospace institutions. (SIA)

The airport has been devoted to business aviation since 1981. Its users include private aircraft owners, corporate flight departments, commercial business-aircraft operators, fractional operators, government and state aircraft, medical flights and other specialized aviation missions. Groupe ADP reported approximately 57,700 total aircraft movements in 2024, while the European Business Aviation Association recorded 54,724 business-aviation movements and a 92% business-aviation share for the same year. These statistics use different traffic definitions and should therefore not be treated as contradictory. (Paris Aéroport)

Paris-Le Bourget’s infrastructure consists of three paved runways, with the principal 07/25 runway approximately 3,000 metres long. The airport also supports a dense private aviation services cluster. Groupe ADP reported seven FBO operators in 2024 and European maintenance facilities associated with major business-aircraft manufacturers including Dassault, Textron/Cessna, Embraer, Bombardier and Gulfstream. (Paris Aéroport)

For international private aviation users, Le Bourget’s strategic relevance derives from the combination of Paris access, dedicated business-aircraft operations, customs and police availability, extensive ground handling, maintenance infrastructure and direct connectivity to a large international airport network.

7. Aircraft Expertise

Paris-Le Bourget does not own a standardized operating fleet. Its aircraft relevance is instead defined by the range of private and business aircraft supported by its runways, FBOs and resident maintenance organizations.

Aircraft Categories

Light Jets: Supported
Midsize Jets: Supported
Super-Midsize Jets: Supported
Large-Cabin Jets: Supported
Ultra-Long-Range Jets: Supported
Business Airliners / large corporate aircraft: Infrastructure historically documented as capable of handling large aircraft, subject to current runway, parking and operational restrictions

Dassault Falcon

Textron Aviation / Cessna

Embraer

Bombardier

Gulfstream

It also notes NetJets maintenance activity established at the airport. (Paris Aéroport)

These references establish a significant manufacturer and maintenance ecosystem. They should not be interpreted as airport certification for every model produced by those manufacturers.

Aircraft Models

No model-specific list is recommended for PrivateJetia taxonomy at present because the airport supports a broad range of aircraft and the reviewed authoritative sources do not establish a narrow model specialization.

8. Fleet Information

Total Fleet Size: Not applicable
Owned Aircraft: Not applicable
Managed Aircraft: Not applicable
Charter Aircraft: Not applicable
Aircraft Categories Served: Broad spectrum of business aircraft, turboprops, helicopters, corporate aircraft, government aircraft and special-mission aircraft
Major Manufacturers Present Through Maintenance / Technical Ecosystem: Dassault, Textron/Cessna, Embraer, Bombardier and Gulfstream

2024 FBO operators: 7 — Groupe ADP. (Paris Aéroport)

On-airport business community: A 2025 Groupe ADP communication described more than 70 companies and approximately 3,500 employees associated with the Le Bourget platform. Treat these as Groupe ADP-reported figures rather than independently audited employment statistics. (LinkedIn)

Airport Carbon Accreditation: Level 4, accreditation valid until 28 July 2028. (Paris Aéroport)

Revenue: Airport-specific revenue is not publicly disclosed separately in the reviewed material.

Employees employed directly by the airport operator at LFPB: Not publicly disclosed.

Hangar capacity: No current consolidated figure independently verified.

Number of private terminals: Not independently verified on a current consolidated basis.

Runway Infrastructure

Current French aeronautical documentation lists:

RWY 07/25: 2,991 × 45 m in the referenced current AIP chart, with the airport commonly described operationally as having a 3,000 m runway.

RWY 03/21: 2,395 × 45 m in the referenced AIP chart.

RWY 09/27: 1,847 × 45 m in the referenced AIP chart. (SIA)

Published figures differ slightly between aviation databases and historical documentation because of infrastructure changes and measurement conventions. The current French AIP should take precedence for operational planning.

10. Certifications & Regulatory Status

Civil Aerodrome: Verified.

ICAO Location Indicator: LFPB.

French Civil Aviation Regulatory Environment: Operates under French civil aviation rules and published DGAC/SIA aeronautical procedures.

IFR Operations: Supported.

Night VFR: Published as approved, subject to applicable trajectory and operational conditions. (SIA)

ATS: H24.

Customs / Police: H24.

RFFS / SSLIA: Level 8 H24. (SIA)

Airport Carbon Accreditation: Level 4, certified through 28 July 2028. The independent Airport Carbon Accreditation directory also identifies Paris-Le Bourget at Level 4. (Paris Aéroport)

ISO 14001: Historical Groupe ADP documentation reports ISO 14001 certification and repeated renewals. A sufficiently current independent certificate specifically covering Paris-Le Bourget was not identified during this verification, so its current standalone status should be treated as Requires Verification rather than assumed. (Paris Aéroport)

Important Operating Restrictions

The French AIP publishes significant noise-related operational restrictions.

Among them:

Jet departures: No jet-powered aircraft may leave its parking stand for takeoff between 22:15 and 06:00 local time, subject to specified exemptions. (SIA)

Additional restrictions apply to certain propeller aircraft, non-compliant noise-certification categories, runway usage and nighttime operations.

The AIP also lists exemptions for certain humanitarian, ambulance, emergency, military, state and government flights. (SIA)

Operators should always consult the current AIP, NOTAMs and airport/FBO operational guidance before flight.

11. Industry Memberships

European Business Aviation Association association with airport data: EBAA maintains a dedicated Paris-Le Bourget airport profile and traffic statistics. This establishes industry coverage but should not automatically be interpreted as proof that the airport itself is a corporate EBAA member. (EBAA Yearbook)

ACI / Airport Carbon Accreditation: Paris-Le Bourget participates in the Airport Carbon Accreditation program and currently holds Level 4 status. (Airport Carbon Accreditation)

UAF – Union des Aéroports Français: Paris-Le Bourget has an official airport entry in the UAF airport directory. (Aeroport)

Other current memberships should not be inferred without specific membership-register confirmation.

12. Leadership

Airport Director: Sébastien Couturier

Current public information identifies Sébastien Couturier as Director of Paris-Le Bourget Airport. A July 2026 public post concerning land arrangements for the future Le Bourget Aéroport station explicitly identified him in that role. (LinkedIn)

Airport Operator Executive Leadership: Paris-Le Bourget operates within Groupe ADP rather than maintaining an independently incorporated executive management team.

Because group-level governance can change independently of airport management, PrivateJetia should ideally maintain a separate Groupe ADP company profile for full CEO, board, CFO and shareholder information instead of duplicating those fields within the airport entity.

13. Ownership & Corporate Structure

Ownership Type: Airport infrastructure operated by a publicly listed French airport group.

Airport Operator: Groupe ADP / Aéroports de Paris S.A.

Legal Operator: Aéroports de Paris S.A.

Aéroports de Paris Legal Form: French public limited company, or Société Anonyme.

Registered Office of Aéroports de Paris: 1 rue de France, 93290 Tremblay-en-France, France.

Corporate Registration: RCS Bobigny 552 016 628.

Aéroports de Paris became a Société Anonyme in 2005 following French airport legislation. (Paris Aéroport)

Paris-Le Bourget therefore belongs operationally to the Paris airport infrastructure portfolio managed by Groupe ADP, which also includes Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly.

Airport-specific shareholders: Not applicable because Le Bourget is not structured as a separately listed company.

Airport-specific subsidiaries: Not publicly identified as applicable.

16. Key Differentiators

1. Dedicated Business-Aviation Role
Le Bourget has been specifically oriented toward business aviation since 1981 rather than functioning as a mixed scheduled passenger hub.

2. Scale of Business-Aviation Traffic
Groupe ADP described Le Bourget as Europe’s leading business airport by movements in 2024, while EBAA recorded 54,724 business-aviation movements. (Paris Aéroport)

3. Multiple Independent FBO Options
Seven FBO/support organizations were reported at the airport in 2024, allowing operators and passengers to select among multiple handling providers. (Paris Aéroport)

4. Major Aircraft Maintenance Cluster
The presence of maintenance operations associated with several major business-jet manufacturers makes Le Bourget more than a passenger-handling airport.

5. Paris Metropolitan Location
The airport is approximately 6.5 NM NNE of Paris according to the French AIP, making it strategically positioned for business and executive travel. (SIA)

6. Three-Runway Infrastructure
Three paved runways provide substantial operating flexibility, with the principal runway approaching 3,000 metres.

7. Government and Medical Aviation Capability
The airport handles state, humanitarian and medical activity, and Groupe ADP specifically characterizes it as a significant European platform for medical flights. (Paris Aéroport)

Requires Verification

Current ISO 14001 certificate specifically applicable to the Le Bourget platform: Older Groupe ADP materials documented certification, but a sufficiently current airport-specific certificate was not located during this review.

Exact consolidated hangar capacity: Not publicly established in current authoritative material reviewed.

Exact number of dedicated passenger terminals: Historic documentation exists but current consolidated total was not independently established.

Airport-specific workforce employed directly by Groupe ADP: Not publicly disclosed.

Airport-specific annual revenue: Not publicly disclosed.

Current annual passenger count: Not meaningful in the same manner as a scheduled commercial airport because Le Bourget traffic is principally measured through aircraft movements rather than conventional terminal passenger throughput.

Important Historical-Date Qualification

There are two defensible reference dates for the origin of Le Bourget as a civil airport:

1919: Civil passenger and commercial routes began operating from the site.

1923: Groupe ADP’s formal corporate chronology records the creation of Paris-Le Bourget as France’s first fully commercial airport.

For PrivateJetia, the preferred directory treatment is:

Founded / Civil Aviation Origins: 1919
Formal Airport Creation per Groupe ADP: 1923

This preserves both authoritative historical records rather than arbitrarily discarding one.
