Useful information

Selecting the right aircraft for your private jet charter from Nice Côte d’Azur comes down to two variables: how many passengers you are carrying and how far you are flying. From a Very Light Jet for a quick hop to an ultra-long-range cabin for transatlantic legs, AEROAFFAIRES matches each profile to the appropriate machine at a competitive rate as an independent broker.

Choosing the Right Aircraft for Your Trip

Short regional legs and tight budgets favour a Very Light Jet or a turboprop such as the Pilatus PC-12. For corporate teams and longer Mediterranean routes, larger cabins offer more comfort and range.

• Very Light Jet / turboprop: Pilatus PC-12, ideal for short hops within France and Italy.
• Light jet: Phenom 300, a frequent choice on the Paris Le Bourget-Nice route.
• Midsize jets: Citation XLS and Challenger 350, well suited to business travel across Europe.
• Long range jets: Legacy 600, Falcon 7X and Global Express for direct intercontinental legs.
• Ultra-long-range and VIP airliner: Global 7500, Gulfstream G650 and the BBJ for the longest journeys and larger groups.

What Determines Your Charter Quote

Your midsize jets or long-haul cabin quote reflects several elements rather than a single fixed price. Hourly rates range from around €2,500 (excl. tax) for a Very Light Jet up to €12,000 (excl. tax) for an ultra-long-range jet such as the Global 7500 or Gulfstream G650.

• Aircraft category selected and its cabin size
• Distance flown and any positioning (ferry) fees
• Airport taxes and handling charges
• Seasonality, sharply higher between May and September

As a guide, a Paris Le Bourget-Nice flight starts from €9,700 (excl. tax) on a Phenom 300, and a London Luton-Nice leg from around €15,900 (excl. tax) on a Global Express.

Landing by private jet in Nice

Transfers from the airport to the city centre of Nice

Your arrival at Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is only the first leg. From the General Aviation Terminal, AEROAFFAIRES orchestrates the entire chain to your final destination along the coast, whether that means a quick hop by air or a discreet car at the foot of the steps.

Helicopter Transfers Along the Riviera

A helicopter transfer is the fastest way to reach the prestige addresses of the coast, bypassing the summer congestion of the corniche roads entirely. From the heliports at Nice, your flight consultant can sequence a rotation to Monaco for the Grand Prix, to Cannes during the Film Festival, or out to Saint-Tropez for the season.

• Private chauffeur transfer from the General Aviation Terminal to central Nice, a 7 km drive of roughly 13 minutes by car

Private Chauffeur and Yacht Connections

For those who prefer the ground, a private chauffeur meets you planeside in a discreet luxury vehicle, handling luggage and gliding into the city or onward to your villa. We also coordinate the link between your private jet and a yacht moored on the Mediterranean Sea, so the transition from cabin to deck happens without a single gap in the schedule.
