FAQ
Frequently asked
Why not land a private jet in Monaco?
Monaco has no airport — the closest runway is Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE), 22 km west. The only legal way to enter Monaco by air is the Monacair helicopter shuttle from Nice or Cannes-Mandelieu.
How long is the Nice to Monaco helicopter?
Block time is 7 minutes, with a coastal routing over Cap Ferrat. Add ~10 minutes for the ramp transfer at Nice from the jet to the heliport, and 5 minutes by car from the Monte-Carlo Heliport to your hotel.
How much does the Nice to Monaco helicopter cost?
€180 per seat on Monacair's scheduled rotation, or approximately €1,200 for a fully private 5–6 seat helicopter. Grand-Prix and Yacht-Show week pricing can rise 30–80%.
Can I book the helicopter as part of my private jet charter?
Yes — we co-ordinate the jet leg into Nice and the Monacair transfer on one itinerary, with luggage handled ramp-to-heliport. One booking, one invoice, one point of contact 24/7.
Is there a cheaper alternative to the helicopter?
A chauffeured Mercedes S-Class or Maybach runs €280–€450 and takes 45–70 minutes depending on traffic — popular in winter or for guests who prefer not to fly the coastal leg.
How early do I need to be at Nice for the helicopter connection?
If you arrive on a private jet, plan 15 minutes from wheels-down to lift-off at the heliport. Commercial-flight passengers should allow 60 minutes for baggage and the heliport shuttle.
Can pets fly on the route?
Yes — pets travel in the cabin alongside their owners on every Limitless Sky charter. Let us know the species and weight when you request a quote.
How early should I arrive at the FBO?
We recommend 20 minutes before departure for domestic flights and 30 minutes for international, including customs. There are no security queues — you drive to the aircraft.
