Private Jet to the Cannes Film Festival — Red Carpet by Charter

The Festival de Cannes is, alongside the Monaco Grand Prix, the most prestigious event on the Côte d'Azur. Producers, directors, stars and investors from around the world arrive by private jet — Cannes-Mandelieu Airport (CEQ) and Nice FBO (NCE) are at full capacity during festival weeks. Anyone with meetings on the Croisette or a yacht in the harbour needs a private jet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which airport is best for Cannes?

Cannes-Mandelieu (CEQ) is the closest — only 5 minutes from the Palais des Festivals. Suitable for aircraft up to Midsize Jets. For larger jets: Nice (NCE) with subsequent transfer. Both FBOs are heavily loaded during the festival.

Are there helicopters from Nice to Cannes?

Yes — Héli Air Monaco offers shuttle service from Nice to Cannes (approx. 20 min flight time, approx. €200–400 per person). Ideal if your jet lands in Nice.

How far in advance should I book for Cannes Film Festival?

At least 10 weeks ahead. Major events create intense demand for private jet slots — last-minute bookers rarely find availability or must pay a significant premium for whatever remains.

Are there empty legs to Cannes Film Festival?

Yes — after major events, empty-leg returns often appear (e.g., Monday after Oktoberfest, Monday after the Wimbledon final). These can be up to 75% cheaper, but the date and route are fixed. Ask our broker for availability.
