Why Fly Private
Nice Côte d'Azur is France's second-busiest airport with over 14 million passengers annually. The commercial terminals are particularly congested during summer and major events. Private aviation through the dedicated FBO gives you direct access to the Riviera — and quick helicopter connections to Monaco, Cannes, and Saint-Tropez.
Private Jet Experience
Landing at Nice Côte d'Azur, the busiest private aviation hub on the Riviera, you taxi to the Signature or Universal Aviation FBO where staff handle all formalities planeside. A chauffeured sedan or helicopter awaits just meters away, placing you at your Promenade des Anglais hotel within fifteen minutes of touching down.
