Private chauffeur at Cannes-Mandelieu airport

A commercial flight has a published schedule, a terminal and a baggage belt. A business aviation flight has an aircraft, a slot and an operator who receives you. The transfer is therefore prepared around the aeroplane rather than a flight number: the chauffeur follows the aircraft, takes the actual touchdown time into account and stays reachable by the flight coordinator until you arrive.

Arrival formalities depend on where the flight comes from: they are handled by the operator on the ground and by the competent services, never by the chauffeur. Your chauffeur asks nothing of you except the time and the meeting point. Once you are out, bags are loaded, the rear door is held, and there is nothing left for you to organise.

Access to the parking apron is regulated and falls to the airport operator. Depending on its instructions, we meet you at the business aviation terminal, at the operator’s reception or at the access it indicates. The exact point is in your confirmation, and we double-check it on the day with your contact on site.

Plans often change with a private aircraft: earlier departure, an added stop, a passenger joining en route. Tell us as soon as you can by phone or WhatsApp; pick-up follows the aircraft, within the house’s availability, with the same courtesy as on day one.

Cannes lives by its events. In spring, the Cannes Film Festival, MIPIM and the big trade-show calendar bring together producers, investors, brands and delegations; in autumn, MIPCOM and the Cannes Yachting Festival take over. During those weeks, traffic around the Croisette slows and hotels turn guests away.

In these periods, a request made well ahead lets us fix the pick-up time, the route and the access. We do not promise a duration: arrival at your hotel depends on traffic, and we would rather give you a realistic schedule than a theoretical journey time.

Outside events, Cannes-Mandelieu stays a quiet airport, with widely spaced arrivals and departures. The transfer is then the simplest on the coast: the chauffeur is on site before the aircraft taxis in, and you are at your destination before your assistant has finished the welcome message.

In every case, the total price is shown to you before any payment. It includes the airport service, flight tracking and the waiting time included, according to the house’s rates.

The more precise the request, the more discreet the welcome. Give the date and expected landing time, the name of the operator or handler receiving you, the number of passengers and bags, and the destination address. If several people arrive on different flights, say who is travelling with whom.

Tell us too what will make the journey pleasant: the cabin temperature, a blanket, chilled water, complete silence or light conversation. These attentions are all offered and optional, and the chauffeur prepares them before you arrive.

For a traveller discovering the region, the chauffeur can point out what deserves a glance along the way: a view over the Baie des Anges, the access to a harbour, a hotel entrance. The chauffeur does so only if you wish. A traveller preparing for a meeting will prefer calm, and that is what we offer.

Finally, keep our number to hand on arrival day. A change of schedule, a new destination or an extra passenger can be handled in one message, and the house adapts as long as safety and availability allow.
