Cannes Mandelieu Airport (CEQ)

Private Jet Charter From Cannes Mandelieu Airport

Cannes Mandelieu Airport is the dedicated private aviation gateway to Cannes, Mougins, and the western French Riviera. Located in Mandelieu-la-Napoule, approximately 4 miles west of the centre of Cannes and directly on the Mediterranean coast, CEQ is reserved for general and business aviation, with no scheduled commercial traffic. It is the second busiest business aviation airport in France after Le Bourget and the closest private airport to the Cannes Film Festival, the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, and MIPIM, placing clients within minutes of the Croisette and the major Riviera hotels and villas.

For premium charter clients, Cannes Mandelieu offers a dedicated business aviation terminal operated by SETEC, with private passenger lounges, planeside vehicle access, and full French customs and immigration processing. The airport is significantly less congested than Nice during festival season and places clients closer to Cannes itself. Runway length limits operations to light and midsize jets. Our team will confirm suitability for your aircraft and route. ParaFlight coordinates aircraft, FBO arrangements, customs, and chauffeur or helicopter transfer to Monaco, Saint-Tropez, and the surrounding Riviera.
