While Le Bourget is of course the main business airport of Paris, there are several other airports around the French capital to see bizjets. One of them is Pontoise, which is about 30-40 km northwest of the centre of Paris. Especially during the Paris Air Show it is worth a visit when restrictions at Le Bourget make Pontoise a nice alternative. Usually about five to ten bizzers can be seen here, often including some exotic ones. Furthermore several aeroclubs are active here. Though Aigle Azur is officially based here, only its air taxi aircraft operate out of Pontoise. Aigle Azur is also the main FBO, that handled the Debonair passengers that once flew a scheduled service to Luton.

Layout
|
Hangar Area
|
|
The airport has two perpendicular, crossing runways. In the northeastern corner of this 'cross', turning right on the T-junction off the D915, the hangars of amongst others Aigle Azur and Airwest can be found. Most aircraft on the ramps can be easily seen and photographed, in particular to the left and right of the Aigle Azur hangar.

Aeroclub

|
Turning left at the T-junction off the D915 leads you past the threshold of runway 30 to restaurant Le Concorde and several aeroclubs. Next to the restaurant is the visitor's parking area for small aircraft. Moreover this point allows a view in the Aigle Azur hangars (if they're open). Finally you are very close to runway 30, so nice shots of aircraft landing and taking off in the afternoon.
