Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE) welcomes business aviation at its dedicated terminal, just 5 minutes from the upmarket districts of Cimiez and the Carré d’Or. The time saving compared to the coastal road (30 to 60 minutes depending on traffic) is considerable during the peak summer season.

Empty leg options regularly allow discounts of 40 to 60% on the full fare, particularly between September and June outside the major Monegasque events.
