One airport for Monaco, Cannes and the coast
Nice Côte d'Azur is the second-busiest business airport in France and the airport for the whole Riviera: twenty minutes from the Promenade des Anglais, forty by car to Monaco and Cannes, seven minutes to Monaco by the helicopters that shuttle from the private terminal all day. Cannes-Mandelieu takes light and midsize jets to within fifteen minutes of the Croisette and is the quickest way to Saint-Tropez by helicopter. Summer slots at Nice are allocated weeks ahead and both airports close overnight, so we book the slot and the helicopter with the flight.
The private terminals sit at the western end of the field, twenty minutes from the Promenade and seven from Monaco by helicopter.

A super-midsize jet from Dubai refuels once, adding about an hour; a heavy jet flies it non-stop from about $58,000. From New York the heavy jet is the smallest cabin that makes Nice without a stop. Cannes-Mandelieu takes aircraft up to 22 tonnes, so the largest cabins land at Nice.

Private jet airports in Nice
Nice Côte d'Azur is the second-busiest business airport in France and the gateway to Monaco, Cannes and Saint-Tropez. Cannes-Mandelieu takes light and midsize jets to the Croisette; a helicopter covers the last leg to Monaco in seven minutes.
Nice Côte d'Azur is twenty minutes from the Promenade, forty from Monaco and Cannes; Cannes-Mandelieu takes the smaller jets straight to the Croisette.
Light jets from Milan, Geneva, Paris and London, heavy jets non-stop from Dubai and New York, ultra-long-range cabins and VIP airliners from the Gulf and Asia into Nice, with a helicopter on the ramp for Monaco and Saint-Tropez.
Aircraft are drawn from operators at the destination as well as the departure city, so positioning is rarely the constraint.
01
Light jets
Six to seven seats for Paris, London, Geneva and Milan. Into Nice, or Cannes-Mandelieu when the day ends on the Croisette or in Saint-Tropez.
Twelve to fourteen seats and a stand-up cabin, non-stop from New York in under eight hours and from Dubai in about six and a half. The Legacy 650 in our fleet is the usual first proposal.
Send the dates, the party size and where you are staying, whether Monaco, Cannes or the Cap. We come back with aircraft options, the slot, the helicopter and a written price, usually within the hour.
The Riviera's calendar is short and concentrated: May and June fill Nice's slots weeks ahead, and August needs planning.
MayCannes Film Festival Twelve days at capacity for both airports, with the closing weekend the tightest.
Late MayMonaco Grand Prix The busiest private-aviation weekend in Europe. Nice slots, parking and helicopter seats are allocated a month out.
JuneCannes Lions A corporate week that fills Nice's ramp with midsize and heavy jets.
July to AugustThe summer season Saint-Tropez and Cap Ferrat peak; Friday evening and Sunday afternoon slots are the scarce ones.
SeptemberMonaco Yacht Show Owners, builders and brokers arrive together; a quieter peak than May but Nice is full again.
On the ground in Nice
Passport details go ahead, border control is cleared in the private terminal in minutes, and the helicopter to Monaco, the car to Cap Ferrat or the tender to the yacht is arranged in the same conversation as the flight.
01
Immigration and customs
Schengen border control and customs are cleared at the private terminal at Nice in minutes. Most nationalities need a visa or, from 2026, an ETIAS authorisation; we confirm when we book.
02
Travelling with a pet
Pets travel in the cabin. Entering France, a dog or cat needs a microchip, rabies vaccination and an EU health certificate or pet passport; we arrange the paperwork with the handler.
03
The car
A chauffeured car meets the aircraft on the ramp at Nice Côte d'Azur or whichever airport you land at, and the driver knows the private terminal, not the commercial one.
Popular routes into Nice
Each route has its own page: flight time, the airports at both ends, the aircraft that suit the leg and an indicative price.
It depends where you leave from. Indicative one-way prices for the whole aircraft start at about €5,500 from Milan in a light jet, about €7,000 from Paris, about €12,000 from London, about $42,000 from Dubai in a super-midsize jet with one stop, and about $72,000 from New York in a heavy jet. Repositioning, overnight parking and handling are quoted separately once we know your dates.
Which airport should I use for a private jet to Monaco, Nice or Cannes?
Nice Côte d'Azur for Monaco, Nice, Cap Ferrat and Antibes, and for every cabin size: twenty minutes from the Promenade, thirty-five to forty-five by car to Monaco, seven by helicopter. Cannes-Mandelieu for light and midsize jets to Cannes and Saint-Tropez, fifteen minutes from the Croisette. Monaco has a heliport, not an airport; the helicopter meets you at the Nice private terminal. Each is described above with its drive time and handling agents.
Can I charter a jet to Nice the same day?
From anywhere in Europe, usually yes outside the summer peaks: a light jet from Paris, Geneva, London or Milan can often depart within a few hours. In May and on summer weekends the slot at Nice is the constraint rather than the aircraft. From New York or Dubai, twenty-four hours is the realistic minimum because of crew duty times.
How long is a private jet flight to Nice?
About 50 minutes from Milan, about 55 minutes from Geneva, about 1 hour 20 from Paris, about 2 hours from London, about 6 and a half hours from Dubai and about 7 hours 45 from New York in a heavy jet. From the private terminal, Monaco is another seven minutes by helicopter.
Do I need a visa to land in Nice by private jet?
Schengen border control and customs are cleared at the private terminal at Nice in minutes, and the same clearance covers Monaco. Most nationalities need a visa or, from 2026, an ETIAS authorisation; UK, US and Gulf passport holders enter for short stays without a visa. We confirm what you need when we book and send passport details to the handler in advance.
When is the Riviera hardest to fly into?
The Cannes Film Festival in May, the Monaco Grand Prix weekend in late May, when Nice slots, parking and helicopter seats are allocated a month out, Cannes Lions in June, Friday evenings and Sunday afternoons in July and August, and the Monaco Yacht Show in September. On those dates we book the slot with the flight and hold Cannes-Mandelieu as the fallback for the smaller cabins.
Can I pay for the charter with crypto?
Yes. Bank transfer in any major currency; crypto also accepted. Tell us your preferred coin and we confirm the network and payment instructions with the contract.
Where would you like to fly?
Tell us what you have in mind. Our team will take care of the charter arrangements and discuss crypto payment if you prefer.
