Nice is the gateway to the French Riviera and one of the busiest summer private markets in the world. Cannes, Monaco, and Saint-Tropez demand overlaps around the festival and yachting calendar. On the Nice end, private flights usually use Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE) and Cannes-Mandelieu (CEQ), boarding at a private FBO terminal rather than an airline terminal.
At 177 miles this is light jets territory: aircraft like the Embraer Phenom 300 and Cessna Citation CJ3+ have the range and cabin to fly it nonstop in about 45m.
