The Riviera, and the busiest business airport in France after Paris
Nice is the gateway to the Riviera, from Cannes and Antibes to Monaco, and one of the steadiest corridors on our board.

We list what operators publish and take no commission. Your enquiry goes to them.
Availability is re-read from operator sources through the day, and each leg carries its timestamp.
The figure shown is the operator's own, for the whole aircraft. Where none is published we say so.
No account needed to browse, no card, and no charge at any point.
Nice is the front door to the Côte d'Azur and one of the densest charter markets in Europe. Demand concentrates into a short summer window and the aircraft that bring people down have to go back up, which is what fills this board with empty leg flights: one-way sectors offered at a reduced price because the operator would otherwise fly them empty.
Recent legs have run to Olbia, Larnaca and Malaga, with Nice to Wevelgem and Nice to London as the steady northern corridors. The live counts below are read from the current board.
In August the drive along the coast is the slow part, so the airport in the listing matters more than the flight time.
Monaco has no airport of its own, so an empty leg to Monaco is an empty leg to Nice: the field is about 30 km east along the coast, and the helicopter shuttle to the Monaco heliport leaves from the same site. Every leg on this page that lands at Nice is a Monaco arrival in practice, and the reverse holds for departures. Search the list above for Nice, or set a route alert on Nice and you will be told when a leg appears.
For what a seat works out at across the whole board, by aircraft type and in the operator's own currency, see how much an empty leg private jet 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.
Riviera sectors are short, so the types skew light and midsize: the Citation XLS and Citation CJ4 recur most. Browse by aircraft type if cabin size matters more than the exact date.
Reading the record.
These are counts from our own board, read when you opened this page, so they reflect the operators we read rather than the whole market, and they are a record of what was listed, not a forecast. New legs appear with days of notice, which is what the route alert is for.
An empty leg exists because of the paid charter around it, so it can be sold or moved without notice. Every listing here is recorded from what the operator published, with the date we last saw it. Treat it as a strong indication rather than a guarantee, and confirm with the operator before planning around it.
Empty Leg List is a listing service. We are not a broker, not an operator, and not party to any booking, and we take no commission. Your enquiry goes to the operator covering the route, who confirms availability and final price with you directly. If nothing matches, set a route alert and we email you when a leg on that corridor is listed.

Working out which aircraft show up…
Live legs leaving from, or landing at, other airports within 150 km of NCE. A leg from an airport an hour's drive away can be the one that fits; the distance shown is from NCE to the airport the leg uses, in a straight line.
Every leg we have recorded with one end at Nice since 30 July 2026, whether it is still on the board or not. A leg leaves the board when the operator stops publishing it, and we cannot tell from outside whether it was sold or withdrawn, so these are counts of what was listed, not of what flew.
One bar per calendar month, from the first month in our record to the furthest date an operator has published so far. Grey bars are months already past, gold is this month and the months ahead. A blank month is a month we have no record for, and before August 2026 that means we were not yet recording. The months ahead hold only what operators have published up to now, and most empty legs appear days or weeks before departure, so those bars will keep growing. The shape says how far ahead operators publish, not how busy a month will be.

Legs out left Nice, legs in landed at Nice. Airports are named as the operator published them, so a row is whatever the operator wrote. The few legs where both ends resolve to Nice are counted above but have no other end to list.
Every corridor touching Nice that has its own page, with the legs we have recorded on it. Every empty leg touching the country is on empty legs in France.
