Rouen Vallée de Seine is Normandy's business-aviation airfield, and its paved runway is 1,700 metres. That makes private jet charter at Rouen a good fit for light and mid-size jets, and it carries mostly business traffic, medical flights linked to the university hospital, plus military and training movements.
Hours are weekday-weighted and customs needs a day's notice. Charter-A arranges the permission, checks the timings and confirms the plan at booking, subject to availability. The airfield sees a mixed diet of executive, medical, military and training flights. Charter-A will tell you if the runway length rules out your preferred aircraft, and suggest an alternative where it does.

The airport is open Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 18:00, and at weekends and public holidays from 09:00 to 19:00 local. Extensions can be requested for business and medical flights.
