Sobre Cannes Mandelieu Airport

Cannes-Mandelieu Airport (CEQ) is a business and general aviation airport serving Cannes, France, on the French Riviera. It has no scheduled airline service. Traffic is made up of private jets, helicopters, light aircraft, pilot training, and firefighting and emergency flights. The airport recorded 12,705 business aviation departures and arrivals in 2024.

Its operator, Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur, describes it as France's second business aviation airport and a complement to Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE), which handles the region's scheduled flights. Most travelers with airline tickets fly into Nice, about 25 km away in a straight line; the drive from Nice airport to Cannes takes 30 to 45 minutes.

There is one small terminal for passengers and crews. The runways take light and midsize jets, with a maximum takeoff weight of 35,000 kg, so larger aircraft use Nice.

The airport sits about 5 km west of central Cannes, beside Mandelieu-la-Napoule, with road access from the A8 motorway at exit 41. From here, travelers head to Cannes, Antibes, Monaco and Saint-Tropez.

Consejos de llegada a Cannes Mandelieu Airport

If your private flight arrives from outside the Schengen area, you clear French passport control and customs at the airport. Non-EU travelers are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (EES), fully operational since 10 April 2026; the planned ETIAS travel authorization is not yet in operation. Flights from within Schengen normally have no passport checks.

The terminal is small, so the walk from the aircraft to the curb is short and bags come off the aircraft and through the building quickly. Your handling agent or FBO can coordinate customs and baggage for you.

Outside, there is a taxi rank, Europcar and Hertz car rental, and free parking just steps from the terminal, where pre-booked chauffeurs wait. The airport closes in the evening, between 20:00 and 22:00 depending on the season, so late arrivals should be planned with the operator.

The Riviera has a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild winters. France uses the euro and is on Central European Time (UTC+1), moving to UTC+2 in summer.
