The Chicago – Lyon route is among the most requested by the private operators in our international network. Chicago Executive is terrain d'affaires de référence au nord du Loop, which allows an aircraft to be positioned quickly whenever a slot frees up.

The Bombardier Global 6000 positioned on this route offers 13 seats and a cruise speed of 900 km/h, giving 8 h 11 door-to-door over the 7,002 km segment.

Aircraft alternatives on Chicago – Lyon

If the Bombardier Global 6000 does not suit your passenger configuration, other airframes can be deployed on the same route: a light jet for two to six people, a super-midsize for eight to ten, a long-range aircraft when bulky luggage or sleeping berths are required. The price changes accordingly, but the repositioning-discount logic remains the same.

Confidentiality and travel security

No public passenger list, no commercial terminal, no exposure in departure lounges. Manifests remain strictly between the certified operator and the relevant authorities. For sensitive trips between Chicago and Lyon, a non-disclosure agreement can be attached to the charter file on request.

What the advertised rate covers

The €79,800 figure is all-inclusive for the whole aircraft: crew, fuel, landing and parking fees, operator's insurance, standard catering and handling at both ends. Specific passenger taxes, premium catering requests and ground transfers are quoted separately and confirmed before the charter contract is issued.

Seasonality of traffic between Chicago and Lyon

Demand is not linear: trade shows, holiday periods and major sporting events concentrate movements and make slots scarce. Conversely, mid-week lulls multiply empty return flights. It is precisely in these windows that the best quotes appear on this route.

Why this Chicago – Lyon segment is priced below market

An empty leg is the repositioning of an aircraft after a mission. The operator already bears the fuel cost, crew and fees: reselling the segment at €79,800 rather than flying it empty remains rational for them. The trade-off is simple: the time window is narrow and the offer disappears as soon as a full charter is confirmed on the same aircraft.
