What is included in a private jet quote from Bordeaux?

A Vector Jet quote is all-inclusive: the aircraft, crew, fuel, airport and handling fees at Bordeaux–Mérignac, the French solidarity tax (TSBA) per passenger, 10% VAT on flights within France, crew overnight costs and standard catering. Only de-icing in winter may be added: it is charged if it is needed on the day.

How quickly can I book a private jet from Bordeaux?

Vector Jet sends aircraft options within an hour, 24/7. Light jets are often available within a few hours of confirmation; for summer weekends on the Riviera and the harvest season it is best to book a few days ahead.

Which airport is best for a private jet to Bordeaux?

Bordeaux–Mérignac is the best choice: it is 12 km from the city centre, about 25 minutes by car, and its two runways take every class of business jet. For the Arcachon basin a light aircraft can land at Arcachon – La Teste-de-Buch, and Bergerac suits the Dordogne.

What taxes apply to a private flight from Bordeaux?

Bordeaux–Mérignac Airport (BOD) for Private Jets

Bordeaux–Mérignac lies in the commune of Mérignac, 12 km west of the city centre: around 25 minutes by car to the centre of Bordeaux outside rush hour.

Business aviation. Private flights are handled by dedicated business aviation services, away from the airline terminals: you avoid the airline queues, your handling agent meets you on arrival, and your luggage goes straight on board.

Runways. The airport has two runways: 05/23, 3,100 m (10,171 ft), and 11/29, 2,415 m (7,923 ft). They take every class of business jet, including long-range aircraft flying non-stop to Dubai.

Handling and formalities. Every private flight is arranged through a ground handling agent, the company that manages your arrival, departure and aircraft on the ground, including passport control on flights from outside the Schengen area, such as from the UK. We book the handling with your flight.

French taxes. Every departure from France carries the French solidarity tax on air tickets (TSBA), charged per passenger, and flights within France also carry 10% VAT. Both are already included in our prices.

Late flights and winter. For a departure late in the evening or very early in the morning, tell us your time and we will confirm what is possible. From November to March de-icing may be needed on the day of departure; it is charged only if it is used.

Bordeaux, the Wine Estates and the Atlantic Coast

Private flights from Bordeaux follow business all year round, with wine trips in spring and autumn and the Riviera and the Balearics in summer.

Wine country. The Médoc, Saint-Émilion, Pomerol and Sauternes are all within an hour of the airport. Many guests fly in for château visits, tastings and the harvest, and we time the car from the aircraft to the estate.

Business in Bordeaux. Bordeaux is a regional capital with a strong aerospace and wine trade, and many trips are day returns to Paris, Lyon, Geneva or Madrid: the aircraft waits for you while you are at your meeting and flies you home the same evening.

Summer on the Riviera and the islands. The Côte d’Azur is a short flight away: Cannes is about 1 hour 25 minutes in a CJ2+, from €11,100, and Hyères, for St Tropez, about 1 hour 20 minutes, from €10,800 including taxes; Ibiza is about 1 hour 25 minutes in a CJ3+, from €11,000 one way.

Flying to Bordeaux with Pets

Dogs, cats and ferrets can fly in the cabin with you on a private jet. We check the requirements for every flight.

Arriving in France
• Within the EU: a microchip, a valid rabies vaccination and an EU pet passport.
• From the UK and other non-EU countries: a microchip, a rabies vaccination given at least 21 days before travel and an animal health certificate issued by an official vet no more than 10 days before arrival.

Flying from Bordeaux to the UK
• The aircraft operator must be approved for pet travel on the route into Great Britain, and dogs need tapeworm treatment by a vet 1–5 days before arrival.

Tell your charter manager about your pet when you request a quote — not every operator accepts pets, and we plan the route around it.

Private Jet Bordeaux: Questions about Flights and Service

The price depends mainly on the aircraft and the route: a very light jet such as the Citation M2 is the most affordable option for short flights, from €7,950 one way to Toulouse; a Citation CJ2+ suits Paris, Lyon, Geneva or Madrid, from €10,400 to Paris including taxes; a Citation CJ3+ or Phenom 300 suits London, Brussels or the Balearics, from €11,200 to London in a CJ3+; and a Legacy 650, Falcon 7X or Global 6000 flies non-stop to Dubai. See the guide prices in EUR in the table above. The final price also reflects your dates and repositioning (flying the aircraft empty to Bordeaux if it is based elsewhere). Vector Jet sends options with a final price within an hour.

In a Citation CJ2+, Paris is about 1 hour 10 minutes away, from €10,400, and Lyon about 1 hour 5 minutes, from €9,950 one way, including taxes. A same-day return is a popular choice for business meetings, as the aircraft waits for you instead of flying back empty.
