General history of Le Bourget Airport
The airport began commercial operation in 1919 and served as the only airport in Paris until the construction of Orly Airport in 1932. The port was also the first aerodrome in France that can be landed in all weather conditions. The port, which suffered serious damage during World War II, became unusable. After the war, the port was rebuilt, staying true to its original structure. After the construction work, the Paris Air Show was held for the first time in Le Bourget in 1953.
The port continued to serve as a civil airport until 1977, when companies gradually left the area to settle in Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle airport. Le Bourget, which was closed to international airline traffic in 1977 and to regional airline traffic in 1980, started to serve only domestic flights and international business aviation after 1980.
Since 1975, Le Bourget Airport has been home to the Musée de l’air et de l’espace, France’s main state aviation museum. On April 14, 2016, Groupe ADP implemented the Connect 2020 corporate strategy and the trademark Paris Aéroport was applied to all Paris airports, including Le Bourget airport.
Le Bourget has been referred to as the “Teterboro of Europe” for its role in accepting all business aviation and support bases flying to Paris.
