The route
London to Cannes is one of the most glamorous private jet routes in Europe, connecting the UK with the jewel of the French Riviera. Whether you are attending the Cannes Film Festival, the MIPIM property conference, the Lions Festival or simply escaping to the South of France, private jet charter delivers you directly to the Riviera in under two hours with complete privacy and flexibility.
AirportsUK departure options include Biggin Hill (EGKB), Bournemouth (EGHH), Farnborough (EGLF), London City (EGLC) and Luton (EGGW). Cannes Mandelieu Airport (LFMD) is the preferred arrival airport for Cannes, offering an intimate and exclusive private jet experience just minutes from the Croisette and the Palais des Festivals. Nice Cote d'Azur (LFMN) is an alternative for larger heavy jets which may exceed Cannes Mandelieu's operational limits.
Best Time To FlyThe Cannes Film Festival in May is the single busiest period for private jet demand on this route, with aircraft availability becoming extremely tight in the days surrounding the festival. MIPIM in March and the Lions Festival in June also generate strong demand. The summer leisure season from June through September sees consistent high demand across the Riviera.
