Private Jet Luxembourg Nice: the Riviera in 1h30

The Riviera, 1h30 from the Grand Duchy

A private jet from Luxembourg to Nice flies 1h30 from Findel to Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE / LFMN), with a one-way trip costing, as an example, €9,000 in a Citation Mustang seating 4. A group of five to seven travels in a light jet such as the Phenom 300, at the category's hourly rate: from €4,000 per hour. Nice never closes, customs included, yet every landing and take-off needs an airport slot allocated by COHOR, all year round, which the handling agent requests for us once your dates are known. Our Luxembourg office prepares the departure and our Nice office looks after your stay. Get a quote for your Nice flight, answered within the hour.

Out on Friday evening, home on Sunday

A Riviera weekend fits inside Findel's opening hours. Luxembourg accepts departures until 23:00, so a 21:00 take-off reaches Nice around 22:30, and Nice, open 24 hours according to the AIP, takes the aircraft at that time. The scheduled helicopter shuttle to Monaco stops at nightfall, so for a late arrival we book a car instead.

Sunday needs more care. Findel is closed from 23:00 to 06:00 local time, and a chartered flight can only land later with an individual curfew extension, which is never guaranteed. With 1h30 in the air, you must leave Nice before 21:30; we plan for about 21:00. The other destinations served by our Luxembourg charter office follow the same rule.

Thursday noon to Monday noon: Nice's apron fills up

The Nice AIP, in the cycle effective 3 September 2026, names the periods when the business jet apron, known as KILO, is used to its limit. During the summer season, that runs from Thursday 12:00 to Monday 12:00 local time (Thursday 10:00 to Monday 10:00 UTC in the text). It also covers the full length of MIPIM, the Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Grand Prix, the Cannes Yachting Festival and the Monaco Yacht Show.

On those days, slots and parking go early, and we secure both as soon as the quote is accepted. If your dates are flexible, leaving before Thursday noon or returning after Monday noon avoids the peak altogether.

Arranging your Luxembourg-Nice flight with IBC Aviation

In Nice, any business aviation turnaround longer than 4 hours must be approved by the airport, according to COHOR, the French slot coordinator. For a weekend, that leaves two set-ups: the aircraft stays in Nice with that approval, or it flies home empty and comes back on Sunday. We price both, then request the approval or arrange the two positioning flights.

Send us your dates, passenger count and luggage: our Luxembourg and Nice offices propose an aircraft and a timetable, from the slot to the final transfer.

Nice, Cannes or Monaco: where to land

Findel and Nice Côte d'Azur are about 667 km apart in a straight line.

• Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE / LFMN): 5.9 km (4 miles) south-west of the city according to the AIP, customs and air traffic services around the clock, COHOR slot number required in the flight plan
• Cannes-Mandelieu (CEQ / LFMD): 1,540 m runway, customs on request, a category B aerodrome requiring specific pilot training, which we check before proposing a crew; Luxembourg-Cannes is priced by the flight hour, very light jets from €3,500 per hour
• Monaco: no runway, but a helicopter shuttle of about 7 minutes from Nice, which we book together with the flight

Our page on Nice Côte d'Azur airport describes its terminals, and Monaco by private jet covers the last leg into the Principality.

Which aircraft for Luxembourg-Nice

• Citation Mustang: very light jet, 4 seats, 2h30 range, no lavatory on board according to our fleet page
• Phenom 300: light jet for 7 passengers, with a lavatory, from €4,000 per flight hour

Ninety minutes without a lavatory suits a couple or two business partners. A family with children, or golf bags, points to the Phenom 300. Our guide to aircraft categories and their range compares the options.

Price, empty legs and Riviera returns

The €9,000 figure covers a one-way flight in a Citation Mustang, in either direction. Dates, aircraft availability and taxes set the final quote. After a busy weekend, some aircraft leave Nice with no passengers on board: we flag the empty legs to Luxembourg that match your dates, bearing in mind that their timing cannot be changed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of a private flight from Luxembourg to Nice?

Example: a one-way trip costs €9,000 in a Citation Mustang, 4 seats, for 1h30 of flying, in either direction. Dates, aircraft availability and taxes set the quote. A Phenom 300, with a lavatory and 7 seats, is priced from €4,000 per hour.

How long is the flight from Luxembourg to Nice?

About 1h30 in the air, depending on winds, for some 667 km in a straight line between Findel and Nice Côte d'Azur. Both cities keep the same time: a 9:00 departure from Findel lands in Nice around 10:30 local time, and the helicopter puts Monaco about 7 minutes away.

Can the aircraft stay in Nice over the weekend?

Yes, with the airport's approval, which is required for any business aviation turnaround over 4 hours. In summer, from Thursday noon to Monday noon, the business jet apron runs at capacity: we request approval at booking, or plan an empty return followed by a new positioning flight.

Can we fly back to Luxembourg late on Sunday evening?

Only up to a point. Findel closes from 23:00 to 06:00 and a chartered flight gets an extension only case by case, with no guarantee. With 1h30 of flying, take-off from Nice has to happen before 21:30; we plan it for around 21:00.
