About Paris-Le Bourget Airport

Overview

Paris-Le Bourget Airport serves as a critical general aviation and business jet hub located northeast of Paris. Situated at 218 ft MSL with three runways, the airport handles significant private and executive aircraft traffic for the Paris metropolitan area. Its strategic location and substantial runway lengths make it a key alternative to commercial airports in the region.

Flying Conditions

Pilots can expect predominantly VFR conditions 54.8% of the time, with marginal VFR conditions occurring 25.8% of observations. The airport experiences moderate wind conditions, with a prevailing southerly wind at an average of 7.7 knots and occasional gusts up to 32 knots. Temperature variations are significant, ranging from -8°C to 31°C, with an average of 9.8°C.

Notable Features

The airport features three runways with varying surfaces and lengths: Runway 03/21 (7,858 ft, asphalt), Runway 07/25 (9,813 ft, concrete), and Runway 09/27 (6,060 ft, asphalt). All runways demonstrate 100% favorable wind alignment, with modest average crosswind components ranging from 4.1 to 6 knots. Visibility is typically excellent, with an average of 10 statute miles and minimal instances of reduced visibility.

Approach Considerations

September, October, and January represent the most favorable months for VFR operations. With consistent wind patterns predominantly from the south, pilots can anticipate predictable approach conditions. The substantial runway lengths provide flexibility for various aircraft types, while the low occurrence of fog (6.2%) and consistent wind characteristics support reliable approach and landing planning.
