Flying to Nice
Nice Côte d'Azur (LFMN) is the gateway to the Riviera and France's second business airport. Its 2,960-metre runway takes every aircraft, from turboprop to long-range, with no curfew. It is the pivot for helicopter transfers to Monaco (seven minutes), Saint-Tropez and Cannes, flown from the adjacent heliport. In high season — the Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Grand Prix, summer — demand saturates slots: early booking is essential.
From the business terminal, the adjacent heliport puts Monaco seven minutes away and Saint-Tropez twelve: the transfer follows straight on from the flight, baggage included. Travellers come for the event season as much as for the residences of Cap-Ferrat and Saint-Jean. In high season, it is booking the jet and helicopter together that makes the difference on timing.
On the ground, handling at Côte d’Azur is provided by leading FBOs — Aviapartner, Signature and Swissport — for reception, formalities and boarding a few steps from the aircraft.
