Frequently asked questions
How do I charter a private jet in Cannes?
Give the date, route and passenger count — we pick the aircraft, price it with positioning and arrange the flight through LFMD. Check-in and departure via the business terminal take 15–20 minutes. Send us a request — we'll pick the aircraft, price it with positioning and arrange the flight for your task.
Which airport do private flights use in Cannes?
Cannes-Mandelieu (LFMD) specialises in business aviation, but its 1,600 m runway limits it to light and midsize jets; heavy aircraft land at Nice (LFMN), 25 minutes away, with an 8-minute helicopter transfer. Send us a request — we'll pick the aircraft, price it with positioning and arrange the flight for your task.
Are there night restrictions and slots in Cannes?
LFMD enforces a night curfew: jet operations are restricted roughly from 20:00 to 08:00 and flights are PPR (prior permission required). Send us a request — we'll pick the aircraft, price it with positioning and arrange the flight for your task.
How much does a private jet from Cannes cost?
Rates depend on class: a light jet is roughly $2,500–4,000/h, a midsize $4,000–6,000/h and a heavy jet $7,000–12,000/h. From Cannes, add positioning, seasonal demand and waiting time. Send us a request — we'll pick the aircraft, price it with positioning and arrange the flight for your task.
What is aircraft positioning from Cannes and what does it cost?
Positioning is the ferry of an aircraft to you when the right type isn't on site: usually from Nice. It is billed at the chosen class's hourly rate and added to the flight cost; in high season positioning is shorter as aircraft are already nearby. Send us a request — we'll pick the aircraft, price it with positioning and arrange the flight for your task.
When is high season in Cannes and how does it affect price?
The absolute peak is the Cannes Film Festival in May, plus the yachting show and the busy summer. At peak, rates are higher and slots and parking go early; off-season is cheaper. Send us a request — we'll pick the aircraft, price it with positioning and arrange the flight for your task.
What are the popular routes and flight times from Cannes?
Typical legs: Cannes–Paris 1h20, Cannes–Geneva 1h00, Cannes–London 1h55. Actual time depends on payload, winds and aircraft type, and we'll match the full route list to your task. Send us a request — we'll pick the aircraft, price it with positioning and arrange the flight for your task.
Which aircraft should I choose for a flight from Cannes?
For short legs from Cannes (up to 1.5–2 hours) a light jet for 6–8 is usually enough; for 3–5-hour flights a midsize or super-midsize is used, and for transcontinental routes a heavy or ultra-long-range jet. We match the class to the exact route and passenger count. Send us a request — we'll pick the aircraft, price it with positioning and arrange the flight for your task.
How far ahead should I book a flight from Cannes?
A flight is normally booked 24–48 hours ahead, while an urgent departure from LFMD can be arranged within hours. In high season, slots and parking are taken weeks in advance. Send us a request — we'll pick the aircraft, price it with positioning and arrange the flight for your task.
Can I fly with children, pets and baggage from Cannes?
Yes — on a private flight a pet travels in the cabin, children are seated comfortably, and baggage depends on the aircraft class (a light jet takes 5–8 bags, a heavy jet 20–30). Oversize items and special requests are agreed at booking. Send us a request — we'll pick the aircraft, price it with positioning and arrange the flight for your task.
