Empty leg flights from Cannes

Cannes-Mandelieu sits a few minutes from the Croisette and takes the traffic that does not need a long runway. The film festival and the yacht shows compress an enormous amount of charter into a handful of weeks, and every one of those arrivals leaves a sector to fly back — the empty leg flights on this board.

The dominant corridor by a distance is Cannes to Wevelgem, which points at where the owners come from: Belgium and the Netherlands. Beyond it the board reaches to Lugano, Belgrade and Naples. The live counts below are read from the current board.

Which airport for Cannes

• Cannes-Mandelieu (CEQ) — closest to the town, but the runway is short and noise rules are strict, so it suits light and some midsize types only.
• Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE) — twenty-five minutes east with no aircraft restriction and far more listings.
• Saint-Tropez – La Môle (LTT) — for the western bays, with the same size limits as Mandelieu.

If the aircraft on a listing is a heavy jet, it will be at Nice regardless of what the destination says.

What an empty leg from Cannes costs

Where an operator publishes a price it is shown exactly as listed, as a whole-aircraft figure rather than a per-seat fare. Where none is published the card says so rather than estimating. Our guide to the most affordable way to charter a private jet compares the options, and the private jet cost per hour breakdown gives the standard-charter benchmark.

Because of the runway, the types here are light and midsize — the Citation CJ4 and Citation XLS are the ones that recur. Browse by aircraft type if cabin size matters more than the exact date.
