Rome’s business aviation operations are mainly based at Ciampino, to the south-east of the city. An ‘empty leg’ refers to a flight without passengers, which an airline operator may make available for booking. Each published offer specifies the date, the chosen airport in Rome, the aircraft, the number of seats and the price.

Paris–Rome by private jet: airports, distance and journey time

Distances and journey times are provided for guidance only. The airport, flight time and timetables depend on the published offer and operational conditions.

Airports on the route

Roma Ciampino is the main hub for private flights; Fiumicino handles larger aircraft. In Paris, Le Bourget is the main hub for business aviation departures. The airport is determined by the available options and cannot be changed.

For what sort of journeys?

Traffic is mixed: institutions, diplomacy, fashion and cultural travel. Stays of several days are more common here than on purely business routes, which increases the number of one-way journeys.

Seasonality and availability

Activity is spread throughout the year, with a peak from spring to autumn and further peaks linked to major religious and cultural events. These fluctuations mean that there is no regular pattern to the publication of empty legs.

Why are there empty legs between Paris and Rome?

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 Rome

When an aeroplane drops off passengers in Rome for several days, it does not necessarily remain there. The journey it then makes without passengers can be made available for booking, on both the outward and return legs, depending on where its next assignment begins.

Your questions about this route

How long does a private jet flight from Paris to Rome take?

Approximately 1 hours 50 for 1120 km between Le Bourget and Ciampino. Estimated journey time.

Ciampino or Fiumicino?

Ciampino is the airport most frequently used by business aviation; Fiumicino accommodates larger aircraft. The airport is specified in the published flight plan and cannot be changed.

Is it possible to visit Rome and another Italian city one after the other?

Each empty leg is a separate route. The Paris–Milan and Paris–Venice routes each have their own pages and their own offers.

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.
