Which Riviera airport?
Choose your aircraft and where you are staying. We will suggest Nice, Cannes-Mandelieu or Saint-Tropez La Môle, and how to complete the journey.
Cannes-Mandelieu and La Môle restrict aircraft size and opening hours, and both are busy in May and August. Guidance here is general; the operator confirms what applies to your aircraft and date.
CEQCannes-Mandelieu
Cannes-Mandelieu is about ten minutes from the Croisette and suits your aircraft.
The airport limits aircraft size and opening hours, and its apron fills during the film festival, so timing matters.
