Book your private jet flight to Nice
Nice is the gateway for private jet travellers to the Côte d’Azur — 20 minutes from Cannes, 30 minutes from Saint-Tropez (by helicopter) and 25 minutes from Monaco. Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE) is France’s second busiest civil airport and has a dedicated general aviation terminal with private lounges, fast-track customs and direct tarmac access. At peak season, Nice is one of the most in-demand airports in Europe for private aviation.
flight_takeoffBook a flightThe private jet clientele at Nice is among the wealthiest on the continent: superyacht owners moored between Antibes and Monaco, UHNWI families residing on the Cimiez heights or in the Var hinterland, attendees of the Cannes Film Festival (May), the Monaco Grand Prix (May) and MIPIM (March). The Citation XLS+ and the Phenom 300E handle weekly shuttle services from Paris, Geneva and London.
On the ground, Nice offers far more than the Promenade des Anglais: the Old Town and its Cours Saleya market, the Matisse and Chagall museums on the hilltops, authentic Niçoise cuisine (socca, pissaladière, daube). For luxury, the Negresco on the Promenade and the Hyatt Regency Nice Palais de la Méditerranée are the benchmark properties. Private helicopters from NCE can reach Saint-Tropez in 20 minutes or a yacht offshore in 10 minutes.

All your questions about private jets to Nice
Between €5,800 and €12,000 one way. The Phenom 300E at €5,800 is ideal for 4–6 passengers on this 1h20 flight. During peak season (July–August, Cannes Film Festival, Monaco Grand Prix), prices rise by 25–40% and slots become scarce — book 3–6 weeks in advance.
Yes for Cannes, Monaco and Nice itself. For Saint-Tropez and the Var, Toulon-Hyères (TLN) can sometimes be more convenient depending on your accommodation. Cannes Mandelieu (CEQ) is an alternative for small light jets (short runway). For superyachts moored between Antibes and Monaco, NCE is optimal with helicopter connections.
There is no Nice–Monaco flight (too short). The connection is made by helicopter from Nice heliport (next to NCE) to Monaco heliport in 7 minutes via Héli Air Monaco. By car from NCE, allow 25–40 minutes depending on traffic. Your charter operator coordinates the helicopter as part of the same package as the jet.
NCE imposes noise-related night restrictions (curfew from 23:00 to 06:00 local time). In July–August and during the Monaco Grand Prix, slots are under severe pressure. Experienced operators book slots several weeks in advance. Cannes Mandelieu can serve as a substitute for light jets if NCE is saturated.
Yes — this is one of the classic use cases. Depart Le Bourget at 08:00, arrive NCE at 09:20, spend the day on the Riviera or attend meetings in Monaco, return at 18:00, land at Le Bourget at 19:20. On a Phenom 300E or CJ4, the return trip costs approximately €12,000–€18,000.
PrivateFly, LunaJets, VistaJet and NetJets all keep aircraft on standby at NCE in season. In the low season, repositioning aircraft from Nice (often flying back empty) can sometimes offer highly competitive "empty leg" rates to Paris, Geneva or London.
