At Paris-Le Bourget, a business aviation welcome is arranged differently from an arrival at the commercial terminals of CDG or Orly. The passenger may use the facilities of a ground-handling operator, known as an FBO. The priority is coordinating the correct access point, contacts and onward itinerary.

Identify the flight’s ground-handling operator

Le Bourget handles business aviation flights through several operators. Each FBO may have its own terminal or access point. ‘Le Bourget Airport’ alone therefore does not specify a sufficiently precise meeting place.

Ask the flight organiser for the operator’s name, the authorised meeting address and an operational contact. Instructions will be reconfirmed with the relevant parties before the assignment.

  • Name of the FBO or ground-handling operator.
  • Authorised landside access and announced time.
  • Contact for the passenger or their representative.

Arrange a discreet welcome

An executive, delegation or guest may request particular arrangements. Share only the information needed by those involved in the pick-up. The name to display and any specific requirements should be agreed before the day of the flight.

The chauffeur remains in areas they are authorised to access. An airside pick-up or collection directly at the aircraft door is not included in a Blue Prestige transfer; it depends on separate procedures and permissions.

Plan the vehicle and stages of the itinerary

Passenger numbers and luggage volume determine the category to consider. The transfer may connect Le Bourget to a hotel, office, residence or another meeting point, according to the confirmed address.

For several stops during the day, hourly chauffeur hire can be considered. It remains subject to a confirmed scope, duration, quotation and availability, rather than being an automatically included service.

Confirm the instructions before arrival

Reconfirm the correct operator, access point and time as the flight approaches. If the itinerary or access conditions change, the coordinator must assess the implications before confirming new arrangements.

The Blue Prestige proposal specifies the vehicle, landside pick-up and pricing conditions. The aim is a clear itinerary for the passenger and organiser, without multiplying contacts.

  • Confirm access instructions with the operator.
  • Check passenger numbers, luggage and destination.
  • Share one confirmation with everyone involved.
