Nice Côte d'Azur Airport
Nice · France
Nice Côte d'Azur (LFMN) is Europe's busiest private-jet airport, handling more business-aviation movements than any other airport on the continent. Two FBOs, a dedicated GA terminal and helicopter shuttles to Monaco in seven minutes make it the default arrival point for the Côte d'Azur — and the slot scrum during Cannes Film Festival and Monaco GP is legendary.
Einordnung
Nice shares its runways with full commercial airline traffic, which means business aviation operates under a strict slot system. The two FBOs (Aviapartner Executive and Sky Valet) sit on the dedicated GA apron at the western end of the field — segregated from the commercial terminals, with private security and apron-side cars. During Monaco GP, Cannes Film Festival and the Yacht Show, Nice handles 700+ private movements per day; advance slot booking is non-negotiable.
