Cannes-Mandelieu airport guide
Cannes-Mandelieu is about 10 minutes from the Croisette, and during the Film Festival it is one of the busiest business-aviation airports in Europe.
The festival runs for about twelve days in May. Cannes-Mandelieu suits light and midsize jets, and Nice Côte d’Azur, about 40 minutes away, handles larger aircraft.
The Monaco Grand Prix often falls around the same time, so slots across the Riviera book up fast.
Light and midsize jets use Cannes-Mandelieu; heavy jets from the US land in Nice.
Both airports manage slots closely in May.
The coast road from Nice is slow during festival weeks.
Distances are straight-line to Palais des Festivals.
