Notes
Customs and immigration on site H24 with the business terminal’s own control post — international clearance without notice limitations.
Nice is the Riviera’s front door and, after Le Bourget, France’s busiest private aviation hub — a dedicated business terminal beside the sea, parking for a hundred and twenty jets, and a helicopter terminal that puts Monaco seven minutes away.
Chartering to Nice
Every movement, private ones included, needs a coordinated airport slot with the authorisation number written into the flight plan — bureaucracy we and the handler absorb invisibly, except in the weeks when it stops being routine. From the Film Festival through the Grand Prix and the summer yachting season, slots and parking genuinely sell out: stays over four hours need parking approval, confirmations can arrive only days before, and repositioning to Cannes is the standard overflow. We book Riviera peak weeks a month or two out, and quote drop-and-go honestly when the ramp is full. The flying itself: Paris to Nice from €8,300 all-in on a light jet, London to Nice from €13,000 on a super light, and the 53-minute hop to Olbia from €8,300.
Facilities
The business terminal runs its own customs post and vehicle gates with ramp access; modern jets operate at night without restriction, with only the loudest types barred from the small hours. For Monaco, the dedicated helicopter terminal flies some fifty rotations a day — we book the seats with the jet.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a private jet to Nice?
From €8,300 all-in from Paris on a light jet and €13,000 from London on a super light — indicative from-prices on our block-hour model.
How do you get from Nice airport to Monaco?
By helicopter in about seven minutes from the airport’s own heliport terminal, or 40–50 minutes by road. We arrange either as part of the charter.
Why book Riviera summer flights early?
Because Nice is slot-coordinated and its ramp sells out around Cannes, the Grand Prix and August. Early bookings hold parking; late ones reposition.
