Feb 6, 2019 at 9:58 comment added mins @StephenS: It's not forbidden for a private-use aircraft with appropriate equipment to land at CDG or Orly either, but it's expensive and the time waiting before take off is ridiculous (not mentioning the border control time). For landing, there is a condition: The airspeed must be maintained above 200 kt until 4 NM of the threshold, which means for a small aircraft, an additional workload at the last minute to switch from the clean configuration to the landing configuration.
Feb 6, 2019 at 3:22 comment added StephenS It's not that different in the US. Major airports here don't exactly welcome GA flights either, especially when there are smaller airports all around them that are more convenient, less congested and less expensive. They just can't completely ban GA like in Europe because that's against the law here.

Feb 5, 2019 at 21:17 comment added user14897 Note that in Dec '18, EGLL saw 5 air taxi and 20 private movements, but like I commented earlier, the a/c types involved are not made public, but out of the 25 there could be private (in the colloquial sense) jets. Still it's negligible compared to the rest, of course.
