Practical information about Cannes Mandelieu Airport

Each year, nearly 9,500 passengers pass through Cannes Airport. While small in size, it is highly efficient and offers high-quality services. In 2026, Cannes Mandelieu Airport obtained IS-BAH Level 1 certification, attesting to its compliance with international standards for ground operations management and safety.

The runways can accommodate small and medium-sized private jets, as well as helicopters. Any aircraft weighing more than 35 tons for jet engines and 22 tons for propeller-driven aircraft must land at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport.

Cannes-Mandelieu Airport is open from 6:00 a.m. until 30 minutes before sunset in the summer and from 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. in the winter. It is not subject to any takeoff or landing time restrictions.

AEROAFFAIRES operates at this airport through an exclusive partnershipwith Sky Valet, which has a dedicated FBO there, enabling seamless coordination of ground operations and the implementation of rapid solutions in the event of operational constraints.

Available aircraft types: Cannes-MandelieuAirport accommodates a wide range of business aircraft, from Very Light Jets to medium-range jets. You can charter a Citation Mustang, an Embraer Phenom 100, or a HondaJet for a quick trip to Paris or Geneva; a Pilatus PC-12 NG or a King Air 350 to travel to Corsica in complete privacy; or an Embraer Phenom 300 , an Cessna Citation CJ3 +, or an Pilatus PC-24 for your intra-European flights. For longer journeys, the Citation XLS+, Learjet 75, and Embraer Praetor 500 are among the aircraft most frequently offered for departures from the French Riviera. Since heavy long-range jets such as the Global 6000, Gulfstream G650, or Falcon 8X are too large for the runways in Cannes, AEROAFFAIRES arranges for them to be repositioned from Nice Côte d’Azur, located less than fifteen minutes away by helicopter.
