Private Jet to the Monaco Yacht Show 2026

The Monaco Yacht Show 2026 takes place at Port Hercule from 23 to 26 September 2026, bringing superyachts, shipyards, brokers, designers and yacht buyers to Monaco for four days.

Monaco does not have an airport for fixed-wing aircraft, so private jet journeys normally arrive at Nice Côte d'Azur Airport before continuing into the principality by helicopter or road. For more information on private aviation into the principality, see our private jet to Monaco guide.

Monaco Has a Heliport, Not a Fixed-Wing Airport

Private jets cannot land in Monaco. Nice Côte d’Azur Airport (NCE/LFMN) is the usual airport for a private jet to Monaco. It is about 30 kilometres from the principality and accepts short-range business jets, heavy jets and intercontinental jets.

Nice has a separate business aviation terminal with its own customs post and two outbound security posts. The airport also has a helicopter terminal beside the helicopter stands. We appoint the fixed-base operator, request the jet slot and check parking before the charter is signed. Parking demand rises during Monaco events. If the jet may land but cannot stay at Nice, the quote may include an empty flight to park elsewhere and another empty sector before collection. We show those sectors in the flight plan and price rather than adding them after booking.

Arriving via Nice

Nice Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE) is the main airport for private jet travel to the Monaco Yacht Show.

It is around 30 km from Monaco and has a dedicated Business Aviation Terminal with its own customs facilities and private passenger handling. Demand for aircraft parking increases around major Monaco events. A jet may be able to land at Nice without remaining there for the full stay, in which case it may need to reposition after dropping passengers off and return before departure.

We check the landing slot, handling and parking arrangement before the flight is confirmed.

Nice to Monaco

A helicopter is the fastest connection from Nice Airport to Monaco, with the flight taking around seven minutes.

We can arrange a private helicopter charter alongside the private jet and coordinate the transfer at Nice. Baggage needs to be checked separately for the helicopter. The luggage capacity available on a private jet does not automatically carry across to the smaller aircraft.

If you are travelling with large cases, yacht samples, equipment or several bags, send us the dimensions before departure. Anything that cannot travel safely on the helicopter can be transferred to Monaco by road. A chauffeur-driven car can also be arranged as the main transfer or as a backup if helicopter operations are affected by weather.

Current Private Jet Estimates to Monaco via Nice

These are current one-way estimates for the whole jet, not per-passenger fares:

• Geneva to Nice: from €6,250, with an estimated flight time of 1 hour 10 minutes.
• Paris to Nice: from €6,750, with an estimated flight time of 1 hour 30 minutes.
• Barcelona to Nice: from €7,250, with an estimated flight time of 1 hour 20 minutes.
• London to Nice: from €8,500, with an estimated flight time of 2 hours.
• New York to Nice: from €74,750, with an estimated flight time of 8 hours 45 minutes.

Short European sectors may suit a light, super light or midsize jet, depending on passenger number and baggage. A New York flight will usually call for a heavy or ultra-long-range jet. The quoted price depends on the jet’s starting point, crew duty time, airport charges, event parking and any empty sectors.

Helicopter seats, private helicopter flights and road cars are priced separately so the cost of each part is clear.

Port Hercule

The show has four public entrances:

• Quai Antoine Ier
• Parvis Piscine on Boulevard Albert Ier
• Quai Chicane
• Quai Albert Ier

If you already have yacht viewings or meetings booked, send us the yacht berth or meeting point before the transfer is arranged.

Using the correct entrance can reduce unnecessary walking through Port Hercule, particularly when several appointments are scheduled on the same day.

Flight departure times should also account for the final yacht appointment, transfer back to Nice and private terminal formalities rather than simply using the show's closing time.
