Private Jet French RivieraCannes-Mandelieu · Nice · anywhere in the world

Two main platforms host business aviation near Cannes. Cannes-Mandelieu airport (CEQ) is entirely dedicated to private aviation: ten minutes from the Croisette, it offers complete discretion and near-immediate boarding from the business terminal. Nice Côte d'Azur airport (NCE), the second busiest in France, has two general-aviation terminals and handles larger aircraft and long-range jets. Depending on the size of your jet, your destination and your schedule, we choose the ideal platform and arrange the Mercedes or helicopter transfer right to the aircraft steps.

One of the great advantages of a private jet is its responsiveness: an aircraft can often be mobilised within four to six hours for a last-minute departure, subject to availability and airport slots. For a standard flight, twenty-four to forty-eight hours is usually enough to secure the best aircraft at the best price. However, during the Cannes Film Festival, the Monaco Grand Prix, MIPIM or busy summer weekends, demand soars and slots at both Nice and Cannes-Mandelieu become scarce: we then recommend booking several weeks ahead. Our concierge handles emergencies at any hour through its operator network.

Private jets are graded by size and range. Very light and light jets (Phenom 300, Citation CJ) carry 4 to 7 passengers over 2 to 3 hours of flight — perfect for Paris, Geneva, London or Milan. Midsize and super-midsize jets (Citation XLS, Challenger 350) take 8 to 9 passengers over 4 to 5 hours, ideal for Moscow, Marrakech or the Canaries, with a stand-up cabin and generous hold. Heavy and long-range jets (Falcon, Global, Gulfstream) carry 12 to 16 passengers transcontinentally to Dubai, New York or the Maldives, with a bedroom, shower and onboard chef. We guide you to the category best suited to your route, your group and your budget.

This is our signature. Plug-In Cannes is first and foremost a chauffeur and concierge house: we orchestrate your entire door-to-door journey. A Mercedes S-Class or V-Class collects you from your villa, your palace or your yacht, drives you straight to the business terminal at Cannes-Mandelieu or Nice, and an equivalent vehicle waits on arrival, anywhere in the world through our partners. To save even more time, we can coordinate a helicopter hop to the airport. You have no logistics to manage: a single point of contact synchronises the car, the jet and every detail of your trip.

On board a private jet, the experience is entirely personalised. The service includes a private lounge welcome, boarding with no queue or standard airport control, and a cabin arranged to your preferences. We design the catering with you: champagne and fine wines, a gastronomic platter from a starred caterer, a children's menu or a specific diet. The press, Wi-Fi, your favourite drinks and even the cabin temperature are prepared in advance. On larger aircraft, a cabin attendant provides in-flight service. Tell us your wishes when booking: our concierge turns every flight into an extension of your way of life.

Yes, and it is one of the great pleasures of a private jet. Unlike commercial airlines, your pet travels in the cabin, by your side, with no crate in the hold and no stress. For luggage, business aviation offers precious flexibility: golf equipment, skis, surfboards, couture trunks or professional gear are loaded according to the aircraft's hold. We check volume and weight in advance to select a jet with the right hold, and arrange secure transport of your valuables if needed. Specify your requirements with the request: we calibrate the aircraft accordingly.

It is in fact the preferred solution for VIP guests at these major events. During the Cannes Film Festival, MIPIM or the Cannes Lions, commercial flights sell out and hotels fill up: a private jet gives you a flexible arrival at Cannes-Mandelieu, ten minutes from the Palais des Festivals. For the Monaco Grand Prix, many combine a jet to Nice with a helicopter or Mercedes to the Principality. We anticipate the highly sought-after airport slots, coordinate ground transfers and synchronise everything with your yacht or villa. For these dates, booking well ahead is strongly advised to secure both the aircraft and the slot.

From the French Riviera, the most frequent business routes are Paris (Le Bourget), Geneva, London, Milan and Zurich, reachable in one to two hours on a light jet. For getaways, our clients favour Saint-Tropez, Corsica, Sardinia, Ibiza and Mykonos in summer, and Courchevel, Megève and Gstaad in winter for skiing. Over longer distances, Marrakech, Dubai, Istanbul, Moscow and New York come up regularly. We also operate same-day round trips — a board meeting in London in the morning, back to Cannes for dinner. Whatever the destination, we find the right aircraft and the most efficient pairing of departure and arrival airports.

Because we are an independent broker combined with a local concierge. Independent, because we own no aircraft: we put dozens of certified operators in competition to obtain the best aircraft at the best price, with no commercial bias. Local, because we know Cannes-Mandelieu and Nice intimately, their business lounges, their ground teams and the Riviera's slot constraints. And concierge, because we do not stop at the aircraft steps: door-to-door chauffeur, helicopter, yacht, villa, restaurant and events are coordinated by a single point of contact available 24/7. You gain time, peace of mind and the guarantee of a discreet, bespoke service with no surprises.
