A private jet charter to Lyon, France, offers direct access to the country’s second-largest business hub. The city welcomes corporate travellers for high-level meetings in La Part-Dieu, France’s second-largest business district, and at the Cité Internationale, home to major conferences and Interpol’s headquarters. Leisure visitors arrive for Lyon’s UNESCO-listed old town and world-renowned gastronomy, making it one of Europe’s most distinctive dual-purpose destinations.
LunaJets arranges private flights to Lyon–Bron Airport (LYN), the dedicated business aviation hub just 15 minutes from the city, or to Lyon–Saint-Exupéry Airport (LYS) for after-hours arrivals and long-range aircraft. From either gateway, we coordinate VIP transfers across the region, with helicopters available for direct connections to the Alps, around 35 minutes to Courchevel or Chamonix, or to nearby estates. Many clients fly privately to Lyon for same-day meetings in La Part-Dieu or to attend trade fairs at Eurexpo, located only 3 km from Bron Airport.
With two decades of experience, LunaJets was the first European private jet broker to receive Argus® certification, reflecting rigorous safety and service standards. In Lyon, our expertise secures dependable access during major events such as the Festival of Lights, key international trade fairs, and peak business seasons, ensuring travellers reach the city efficiently and with discretion.

What our clients appreciate most
Customer satisfaction
What can you do in Lyon?
Lyon is considered the "gastronomical capital" of France because of the sheer amount of fine dining options found here. Taking a private jet to Lyon is ideal because visitors can then enjoy the variety of entertainment options before moving on to the next destination. Charter any aircraft you wish for today and get on a flight with LunaJets to France or any other destination.
There is plenty to do and see in Lyon, outside of the dining options. While many visitors do come here to eat, there are other attractions that draw visitors to this region of France.
Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière
The Basilica of Notre-Dame de Fourvière overlooks Lyon and can be seen from just about any vantage point. It boasts stained glass throughout the space and four large towers that add to its imposing presence.
The Gallo-Roman Museum
The Gallo-Roman Museum is an archaeological museum built on Fourviere Hill. There are various artefacts and cultural elements found here, and windows spanning one side of the structure allow for views of the Roman ruins next door.
The Roman Theatres of Lyon
The Roman Theatres of Lyon are part of a larger complex and amphitheatre that were built during Ancient Rome. They are the oldest theatre in France and are the site of numerous cultural events each year.
Where should you stay in Lyon?
Lyon lodging options range from high-end elegance to chic boutique options. Luxury travellers have a range of choices all of which offer a vast array of amenities and proximity to local sites.
Where should you eat in Lyon?
The culinary scene in Lyon is bustling, with several options for Michelin-star dining. In fact, innovative cuisine is one of the characteristics for which the city is best known.
Auberge de l'Île Barbe
Auberge de l'Ile Barbe is another Michelin-starred restaurant offering authentic French cuisine that relies on local ingredients.
Auberge du Pont de Collonges
For instance, Auberge du Pont de Collonges has three Michelin stars and is the brainchild of Paul Bocuse. There are three different menus offered at this Lyon restaurant, with options like lobster salad and crayfish cooked in Pouilly-Fuissé.

Frequently Asked Questions
What airport transfer options are available upon arrival in Lyon?
On arrival, you can step directly into a waiting car arranged through LunaJets. Chauffeured limousines, executive vans, or luxury cars are the most common choices, meeting you right at the private terminal. Taxis and ride-hailing services are also available, though most clients prefer pre-booked transfers for comfort and discretion. For longer journeys, we can also organise a helicopter transfer straight from the airport to your final destination.
How far in advance should I book a private jet to Lyon?
We recommend booking your private flight to Lyon a few weeks in advance whenever possible. Demand rises during peak seasons – summer leisure travel, ski season, and events like the Fête des Lumières in December – when slots and preferred aircraft fill quickly. That said, at LunaJets we often arrange last-minute flights to Lyon and can usually find a solution even on busy dates.
Is Lyon a good airport for reaching ski resorts compared with Geneva?
Geneva is the main entry point to the Alps, but its popularity means slots and parking can be very limited in peak ski weeks. Lyon–Saint Exupéry (LYS) is a strong alternative: it accommodates all jet categories and generally has more capacity during busy periods. From Lyon, resorts like Courchevel, Méribel, Val d’Isère, and Alpe d’Huez are 2–3 hours by car or under an hour by helicopter.
Are there operating hours or night curfews for private jets at Lyon’s airports?
Lyon–Saint Exupéry (LYS) is open 24/7, with customs and immigration always available, but strict night-noise rules apply: no take-offs are permitted between 22:00–06:00 and no landings between 22:15–06:15, except for emergency or medical flights. Lyon–Bron (LYN), the dedicated business aviation airport closer to the city, generally operates from 07:00–20:00, with possible extensions on request. When booking with LunaJets, our team will advise you on the most suitable airport and handle the necessary requests on your behalf.
Which Lyon airport should I fly into: Saint-Exupéry (LYS) or Bron (LYN)?
Both airports welcome private jets, but they serve different needs. Lyon–Bron (LYN) is just 11 km from the city centre and dedicated to business aviation, making it the fastest option for quick access. Its runway length, however, limits the size of aircraft it can handle. Lyon–Saint Exupéry (LYS) is 25 km from the city, open 24/7, and can accommodate all jet categories. It is also the best choice if you need to connect with a commercial flight.
