Monaco Grand Prix 2027, 84th Edition, 3 to 6 June
Why the Monaco Grand Prix by private jet
Business aviation is the most suitable mode of transport for Grand Prix weekend. You board in 15 minutes, avoid the queues at commercial terminals and land at Nice Côte d'Azur, a few minutes from Monaco by helicopter. Our teams coordinate the flight, the transfer and permits for a smooth arrival in the Principality.
Grand Prix weekend is the busiest time of the year for business aviation on the French Riviera. Nice Airport and the Monaco heliport reach maximum capacity. Booking 4 to 6 weeks in advance is essential to secure slots and parking.
The Circuit de Monaco, a legendary track
The Circuit de Monaco is the only Formula 1 track to run on public roads through an urban environment. At 3.337 km, it comprises 78 laps for a total distance of 260.286 km. The corners of Sainte-Dévote, Casino, Mirabeau, Portier, the tunnel, the harbour chicane, Tabac, the Swimming Pools, La Rascasse and Anthony Noghes form the iconic sections of a circuit where the slightest error is fatal.
The weekend schedule follows the modern Formula 1 format:
- Friday 4 June : Free Practice 1 (13:30-14:30) and Free Practice 2 (17:00-18:00)
- Saturday 5 June : Free Practice 3 (12:00-13:00) and Qualifying (15:00-16:00)
- Sunday 6 June : Drivers' Parade (13:00), formation lap (14:44), national anthem, then race at 15:00
How to arrive by private jet: Nice, then Monaco in 7 minutes
Monaco has no airport. Arrival by private jet is at Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE / LFMN), Europe's second-busiest business aviation airport, around 7 km from the centre of Nice. Its 2,960 m main runway accommodates every category of aircraft, from light jets to ultra-long-range jets.
From Nice, several options connect to Monaco:
| Transfer mode | Duration | Detail |
| Helicopter | around 7 minutes | Monaco heliport at Fontvieille (Monacair, Blade) |
| Car | around 30 to 45 minutes | via the A8 motorway, heavily congested on GP weekend |
| Boat | variable | shuttle or tender from the port of Nice |
Nice Airport operates on a slot system that becomes very restrictive during the Grand Prix. FBOs such as Sky Valet and Signature Aviation provide direct access to the aircraft, away from the commercial terminal. Our IBC Aviation team in Nice coordinates every detail of your arrival and departure.
When Nice reaches capacity, Cannes-Mandelieu (CEQ / LFMD), around 35 minutes away, is the main alternative for business aviation on the Riviera.
Which aircraft to choose for the Grand Prix
The choice of aircraft depends on your departure city and the number of passengers:
- Very light jet : 4 to 5 seats, for short hops from southern France or northern Italy
- Light jet : 6 to 8 seats, suited to European legs of 1 to 2 hours (Paris – Nice, Geneva – Nice, Milan – Nice)
- Midsize jet : 7 to 9 seats, superior comfort and a more spacious cabin for groups
- Heavy jet : 8 to 14 seats, for long distances or large delegations (London – Nice, Dubai – Nice)
