Cannes Film Festival by private jet
For the Cannes Film Festival, most jets land in Nice. Cannes–Mandelieu, right by the town, only accepts certain aircraft.
Nice or Cannes–Mandelieu
- Nice (LFMN): accepts all types of jets and has business-aviation terminals. About forty-five minutes by road to Cannes in normal conditions, longer during the Festival. See the Nice guide.
- Cannes–Mandelieu (LFMD): on the edge of town but with a runway of about 1,600 m, weight and noise restrictions, and very limited parking during the event. See the Cannes guide.
What changes during the Festival
Slot and parking requests pile up; an approval can be refused or changed. We tell you clearly what is confirmed and what is not.
Tips
- Book as early as you can.
- Say whether the aircraft must wait: parking is not guaranteed.
- Allow margins for the road between Nice and Cannes.
- See also the Monaco Grand Prix, which falls at a similar time of year.
