The Principality of Monaco
Chartering a private jet to Monaco combines the speed of business aviation with the most spectacular arrival on the French Riviera. The Principality has no airport: private flights land at Nice, then reach Monaco by helicopter in seven minutes. A stronghold of finance, yachting and major events, Monaco draws an international clientele for whom time is the first priority.
Why charter a private jet to Monaco?
Within a few square kilometres, Monaco brings together a rare density of headquarters, family offices and wealthy residents, alongside a calendar of leading events — from the Formula 1 Grand Prix to the Monaco Yacht Show. The private jet answers a need for flexibility, discretion and time-saving, where scheduled flights and the road impose their constraints.
Our teams select from our fleet the aircraft suited to the distance and the number of passengers, and arrange the onward connection to the Principality.
Which airport for Monaco? Nice and the helicopter
As Monaco has no airport, private jets land at Nice airport (NCE) — or, alternatively, at Cannes-Mandelieu. From Nice, the transfer to Monaco's heliport, in Fontvieille on the waterfront, takes around seven minutes by helicopter, against 45 to 60 minutes by road, and far more on Grand Prix weekends.
IBC Aviation coordinates the whole journey: the private flight to Nice, then the transfer by helicopter or car, for a smooth arrival in the heart of the Principality.

Monaco, a principality of prestige
Monte-Carlo and its Casino square, Port Hercule and its yachts, the terraces opening onto the Mediterranean: Monaco cultivates a singular art of living, sustained all year round by a dense cultural and sporting programme. The Grand Prix, in May, and the Yacht Show, in September, are its highlights, generating considerable demand for business aviation.
The Principality sits within a Riviera made for getaways: Cannes and its hinterland round out a bespoke Riviera itinerary.
