FAQ
Is Nice the closest airport to Monaco?
Nice Côte d’Azur is the closest large airport. Monaco itself has no runway; the transfer is by road or by helicopter.
Can we land in Cannes instead?
Cannes-Mandelieu is possible only for some aircraft, under weight and noise restrictions. We check before proposing it.
Can we leave Nice late at night?
Take-offs are prohibited from 23:15 to 06:00 local time for the aircraft covered by the order, mainly the noisiest turbojets. Whether your aircraft is concerned depends on its noise certification: we check it before proposing a late departure.
