![]() We’re already operating 20% more flights than last year and we’re booking more into Cannes following its recent development. The company is offering the following flight prices for the Cannes Film Festival: £6,850 for an overnight return from London to Cannes in a small 4-seater Citation Mustang £119,600 for a 3-night return from Los Angeles to Nice in a 14-seater Gulfstream G650 and £780 for a one-way private helicopter charter from Nice Cote D’Azur Airport to the Palais des Festivals.Ĭarol Cork continues: “It’s looking particularly busy this year, so we’re advising clients to book as soon as possible to secure preferred slot times and aircraft availability. But development work including a runway extension at Cannes Mandelieu in the past 12 months has opened up the smaller, dedicated private jet airport to more customers, including direct transatlantic flights from New York in larger jets, and PrivateFly says it expects Cannes to take a bigger share of this year’s film festival flights. PrivateFly says that Nice (28km away and Europe’s third busiest private jet airport), usually handles 70% of demand, due to its longer runway and larger capacity, despite Cannes being closer, only 7km from the venue. Private jet travellers arrive into Nice Cote D’Azur or Cannes Mandelieu Airport to reach the Palais des Festivals. "With road congestion also a major issue at this time of year, demand for helicopter charter will also be at a peak, with the Cannes heliport just a short walk away from the festival venue.” Some will remain for the Monaco Grand Prix on May 29th, moving between airports, venues and yachts. The Cannes Film Festival attracts large numbers of industry executives, film stars, celebrities, and corporates to the region, who want to arrive fast, direct and in VIP style. The private jet booking service expects up to 1,500 private aircraft landings to take place at the closest airports to the festival – 80% higher than average demand during the year – over the 12-day event, beginning on May 11th.Ĭarol Cork, marketing director, at PrivateFly comments: “We are gearing up for one of the busiest periods in Europe’s private jet calendar, focused on the South of France. The annual Cannes Film Festival is Europe’s biggest event for private jet travellers, and - according to PrivateFly - this year is set to be the biggest yet.
