Biggin Hill to Nice by private jet takes about 1 h 41 over 1,008 km, into the business aviation terminal beside Terminal 2. Most people landing here are not going to Nice: Monaco is twenty kilometres on, and that leg is a helicopter rather than a car.
REQUEST A QUOTEThe longest of the four Mediterranean and Alpine sectors we publish from Biggin Hill, and the one where the last twenty kilometres matter as much as the thousand before them: from Nice the onward leg to Monaco is a helicopter, not a car. The coast itself is on our London to Nice page; this one is about the departure and about what Nice does on arrival.
Most people flying into Nice privately are not going to Nice. They are going to Monaco, Cap Ferrat, Antibes or Saint-Tropez, and the journey that decides their day is the one after the aircraft stops.
Monaco is twenty kilometres north-east, and the standard answer is a helicopter: Monacair runs the link to the Monaco heliport. By road it is the same twenty kilometres, and in July that sentence means something entirely different. The helicopter is not a luxury flourish here; it is the reason the arrival airport is Nice at all.
So the useful question when you enquire is not can you fly me to Nice
— of course we can — but where am I actually going and at what hour
. The answer changes whether we book the helicopter with the aircraft, and whether the arrival slot should be earlier than you first thought.
Private flights use a business aviation terminal beside Terminal 2 — 1,500 square metres, open since 2010, housing the operations rooms and lounges of the operators working the coast. You do not pass through the main halls.
Nice handled a shade over fifteen million passengers and nearly 173,000 aircraft movements in 2025. In the season the airport is busy in a way that is hard to convey on a page; the separate terminal is the difference between arriving and arriving in a crowd.
Just over a thousand kilometres, two long runways at the far end, no performance question. The choice is about the cabin and about how many of you continue by helicopter.
Midsize, stand-up cabin — the ordinary answer for six to eight on this sector.
Light jet for a smaller party; the hold copes with summer luggage.
Super-midsize, for a larger group arriving together and continuing together.
Cabin dimensions and range per type are on the aircraft pages.
We do not publish a price for this route. On the Cote d Azur the season does to prices what the ski weeks do in the Alps, and a July Friday is a different market from a November Tuesday for the same 1,008 km.
Tell us the dates, the number of passengers and the final destination — if it is Monaco, the helicopter belongs in the same quote rather than in a separate conversation afterwards. Real options with real numbers normally within 30 minutes, operations desk 24/7.
Tell us the dates, how many of you there are and the FINAL destination. If it is Monaco, the helicopter belongs in this quote, not in a later conversation.
