Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE)
Nice Côte d'Azur is the primary private-jet gateway for French Riviera yacht charter — Antibes, Monaco, Cannes and the Cap Ferrat corridor are all within a short helicopter or chauffeur transfer of the GA terminal.
Performance notes.
Two parallel runways (04L/22R and 04R/22L). Longest published runway approx. 2,960 m — routinely handles midsize through ultra-long-range business jets. GA and private traffic use dedicated aprons west of the commercial terminals.
Seasonal & handling.
Private and charter traffic is handled through FBOs on the general-aviation side. Peak congestion aligns with Cannes Film Festival, Monaco Grand Prix and Monaco Yacht Show — book handling and slots early for those weeks. Night operations are restricted; confirm curfew windows with your handler.

Arrival questions.
Is Nice suitable for a private-jet arrival before boarding a yacht?+
Yes — NCE is the default Riviera GA gateway. Most charter programmes land at Nice, clear through an FBO, then transfer by helicopter or chauffeur to Port Vauban, Port Hercule or Cannes.
How long is the transfer from Nice to Monaco or Antibes?+
Helicopter to Port Hercule is typically 7–12 minutes. Chauffeur to Port Vauban (Antibes) is usually 35–55 minutes depending on season and coastal traffic. Exact options are computed on this page from verified marina coordinates.
Can pets travel on a private jet into Nice?+
Pets are routinely accepted on private charter into NCE when documented correctly (EU pet passport / health certificates). Confirm with your handler and broker before departure — commercial terminal pet rules do not apply to FBO arrivals.
