Triumph Jets arranges private charter to Cannes with the field’s one defining rule up front: Cannes Mandelieu takes aircraft up to 35 metric tons, which admits super-midsize jets and most Falcons to a runway fifteen minutes from the Croisette – and sends G650s and Globals to Nice, thirty minutes away or ten by helicopter.
Airports Serving Cannes
What We Tell Clients
“The Cannes question is answered by the scale: under 35 tons, land in Cannes; over it, land at Nice and take the helicopter – during the festival, take the helicopter anyway.”
Festival fortnight saturates both airports and every helipad between them, and those weeks are booked the way Monaco GP weekends are – early, with slots, parking, and transfers as one plan. The rest of the season, Mandelieu is one of the easiest luxury fields in Europe.
Popular Routes to Cannes
London, Paris, Geneva, and Milan feed the Riviera spring through fall; festival and congress weeks bring the long-haul traffic through Nice.
Aircraft for Cannes Flights
The 35-ton cap is the sorting line: Challengers, Citations, Praetors, and Falcons through the 8X fit Cannes directly; heavier cabins land at Nice. Older, noisier jet types are banned at Mandelieu regardless of weight.
When to Fly to Cannes
May’s festival fortnight is the extreme peak, with MIPIM, the Lions, and the yachting calendar layering through spring and fall. Summer runs the full Riviera season. Winter is quiet – the field stays open, the town half-sleeps, and booking is effortless.
