France
Nice metro population 342,669. Flights arranged on certificated carriers, planned around Nice's own airports, curfews and season.

Nice Côte d'Azur is the second-busiest business aviation airport in France and the gateway to the entire Riviera economy: Cannes, Monaco, Saint-Tropez, and the yacht harbors between them.
The city itself counts 342,669 residents, but the airport's charter volume is set by a calendar, not a census. May stacks the Cannes Film Festival directly into the Monaco Grand Prix, and for those three weeks Nice's dedicated Terminal Aviation d'Affaires becomes the busiest FBO in Europe, with parking rationed and many aircraft repositioning to Cannes-Mandelieu, whose 1,600 m runway caps aircraft size. The approach itself is part of the experience: arrivals sweep over the Baie des Anges with the Alps rising behind the city to over 2,500 m within 30 km of the coast. Helicopter transfer to Monaco takes 7 minutes and is often booked with the jet. Winter keeps a quieter rhythm of Riviera residents and Courchevel connections.
For the May charter crunch, when Cannes rolls straight into the Monaco Grand Prix, we ration Nice parking, stage overflow at Mandelieu's shorter runway, and pre-book the 7-minute Monaco helicopter. A city of 342,669, Nice sees regular private jet charter movements, and most itineraries are served by aircraft repositioned from the nearest major hub.
