Everything you need to know about Cannes-Mandelieu transfers

Cannes-Mandelieu is the French Riviera's dedicated business aviation airport, located just 7 kilometres west of Cannes city centre and the legendary Croisette boulevard. While Nice Côte d'Azur handles commercial traffic, Cannes-Mandelieu serves an exclusive clientele of private jet operators, corporate aviation and high-profile arrivals — particularly during the city's world-renowned events calendar. The Cannes Film Festival in May transforms the city into the global capital of cinema. During the festival fortnight, Cannes-Mandelieu handles a surge of private jet movements — producers, studio executives, talent and their entourages arriving and departing on compressed schedules. Ground logistics during the Festival require intimate knowledge of the restricted zones around the Palais des Festivals, the Croisette security perimeter, and the specific access protocols for the major hotels: the Carlton, the Majestic, the Martinez, the Grand Hyatt. MIPIM in March brings the international real estate industry. The Lions International Festival of Creativity in June draws the advertising world. MAPIC in November focuses on retail property. The Cannes Yachting Festival in September fills the Vieux Port and Port Canto with superyachts. Each event has its own traffic patterns, restricted zones and VIP access requirements — and each demands a chauffeur service that has operated through them before. Beyond events, Cannes-Mandelieu serves as a year-round base for Riviera private aviation. Clients arriving by jet often have onward connections — to a yacht moored in Port Vauban at Antibes, to a villa in Mougins or Grasse, to a meeting at Sophia Antipolis business park, or to the Monaco heliport for a final seven-minute hop to the Principality. The airport's FBO facilities handle all ground operations: customs clearance, baggage handling, crew services and VIP lounge access. Crew Transport & Security coordinates directly with the FBO to ensure the vehicle is positioned at the aircraft steps the moment the doors open. For returning flights, we manage the reverse logistics — from hotel or yacht pick-up to tarmac delivery, timed to the aircraft's departure slot. Journey times from Cannes-Mandelieu are remarkably short. The Croisette is 15 minutes by road. Nice is 35 minutes east. Monaco is 50 minutes via the A8. Saint-Tropez is 75 to 90 minutes west, depending on seasonal traffic. For clients needing to reach multiple Riviera destinations in a single day, we offer full-day chauffeur service with a dedicated vehicle. Our fleet at Cannes-Mandelieu includes the Mercedes S-Class as the default for event and prestige arrivals, the V-Class for families and groups, and the E-Class for efficient business transfers. The service operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
