Airports on the route
Berlin Brandenburg has been the German capital’s only airport since the closure of Tegel and Tempelhof; it accommodates business aviation in a dedicated area. In Paris, Le Bourget remains the usual hub. The airport is specified on each quote.
For what sort of journeys?
The route combines business travel, meetings within the technology sector and cultural trips. The timetable is less strictly tied to office hours than on other German routes, which broadens the range of travellers it caters for.
Seasonality and availability
Seasonal variation is low, with occasional peaks around major events in Berlin at the start of the year and during the festival season. A peak in traffic does not automatically result in a listed offer.
Why are there empty legs between Paris and Berlin?
In business aviation, a jet does not necessarily remain in the city where it drops off its passengers. It may need to return to its base, another airport or the departure point for its next flight. When it makes this journey without passengers, it is known as an empty leg.
Unlike a traditional charter, the route, date and timetable of an empty leg are already set by the airline. Passengers therefore book an existing flight, with less flexibility. The price is consequently lower than that of a bespoke charter. MarketJet brings together the offers published by its partner airlines so that they can all be viewed in one place.
On the route from Paris to Berlin
The distance makes the repositioning flight costly, which gives the airline an incentive to sell the seat rather than fly it empty. It is this mechanism, rather than a flight schedule, that results in flights being offered between Paris and Berlin in both directions.

Your questions about this route
How long does a private jet flight from Paris to Berlin take?
Approximately 1 hours 30 for 870 km. This is an indicative estimate depending on the aircraft and the route.
Which airport serves Berlin for private jet flights?
Berlin Brandenburg, the city’s only airport, which has facilities for business aviation. This is stated on each flight details sheet.
Berlin or Munich for a trip to Germany?
Berlin serves the north-east and the political centres, whilst Munich serves the industrial south. The two routes are operated separately, with independent services.
Can you book a return empty leg?
Each route is advertised separately. An ‘empty leg’ is a one-way flight: the fact that there is a flight available in one direction does not necessarily mean there is one in the other, nor on a date that suits you.
Does the price cover the whole aeroplane or just one seat?
On an empty leg, the price shown is for the flight itself, subject to the number of seats indicated in the offer; passenger taxes are added to this depending on the number of passengers. Shared flights, on the other hand, are booked on a seat-by-seat basis.
Why are there no flights available at the moment?
This is because no airline has published any repositioning flights on this route at the moment. Offers appear according to the airlines’ needs and are withdrawn as soon as they are booked: the alert remains the most reliable way to be notified.
