Frequently Asked Questions

Can I bring my pet on a private jet to Cognac?

Yes, you can bring pets on a private jet to Cognac. Dogs, cats and ferrets are permitted entry provided they meet EU rules: your animal must be microchipped, vaccinated against rabies, and travel with either an EU Pet Passport or an official veterinary health certificate. If you are arriving from outside the EU, your pet must be declared on arrival and may be checked by border authorities at the private terminal. Certain high-risk or restricted breeds are not accepted. Because requirements can change, your LunaJets advisor will confirm the latest regulations and ensure all documents are in order before your flight.

What visa or entry requirements apply when flying private into Cognac?

Entry rules for Cognac are the same as for any international arrival into France and the wider Schengen area. EU, EEA and Swiss citizens may enter freely without a visa. Travellers from countries such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Japan or Singapore can usually visit visa-free for up to 90 days within a 180-day period. Nationals of countries outside these groups must obtain a Schengen visa in advance. From 2026, visitors who currently enjoy visa-free entry will also need an ETIAS travel authorisation before travelling.

How far in advance should I book a private jet to Cognac?

Cognac is accessible year-round, but summer is when private aviation demand across Europe is at its peak, which can reduce aircraft availability. Booking a few weeks in advance during that season is recommended. LunaJets often arranges flights to Cognac at short notice, even during busy periods.

Are there restricted operating hours at Angoulême-Cognac for private jets?

Angoulême-Cognac supports private jet flights, with full handling, lighting, navigation aids, customs handling and refueling. Many services are available 24/7 on request, though standard operations are aligned with daytime hours.

Is Cognac-Châteaubernard open for private international arrivals, and when is Angoulême-Cognac a better choice?

Cognac-Châteaubernard (BA 709) is primarily a military base and is not open to routine international commercial traffic. Private aviation use is possible but subject to specific restrictions and permissions. Angoulême-Cognac (LFBU / ANG) is the more suitable option for regular private jet arrivals due to its civil aviation infrastructure, runway length, navigational aids and 24/7 on-request services.
