Munich to Nice is 630 km and about 1 h 11 min on the Aviapages calculator for a Citation CJ2, straight over the Alps from Bavaria to the Riviera. Oberpfaffenhofen, west of the city, is an alternative start. The whole aircraft one way starts from about €5 600, indicative. Written options inside 30 minutes; +357 95 119759 is staffed around the clock.
Breakfast in Bavaria, lunch on the Promenade des Anglais: the Alps crossed in a little over an hour.
REQUEST A QUOTEA short, high crossing of the Alps that links one of Germany's main business cities with the Riviera and Monaco. Nice is one of Europe's busiest business-aviation airports, so the arrival end is well practised.

| Airport | Codes | Great-circle to Nice | Why it is on this list |
|---|---|---|---|
| Munich | MUC / EDDM | 630 km | Two 4,000 m runways and a general-aviation terminal kept apart from the passenger halls; 13,197 business-aviation movements in 2023 (EBAA). It has night restrictions, so name your departure hour early. |
| Oberpfaffenhofen | OBF / EDMO | 584 km | A business-aviation airport in Wessling, west of Munich, with a 2,286 m runway. A shorter drive for the lakes and the south-west of the region, and a slightly shorter sector. |
| Nice Cote d'Azur | NCE / LFMN | arrival | Two parallel runways on the seafront and a separate business terminal. The arrival for Nice, Monaco and most of the eastern Riviera. |
An hour or so over the mountains suits a light jet perfectly; the larger types in the tracking records are there for comfort and luggage, not because the distance needs them.
The CJ family is the most common sight on this sector. Our CJ2 page lists six or seven seats; the CJ3 is its slightly larger sibling.
Citation CJ2 ›Six to eight seats; a light jet well suited to a sector of just over an hour.
Phenom 300 ›Thirteen seats and a large hold, for a family moving to the coast for the summer with everything that implies.
Legacy 600 ›Seat bands from our own aircraft pages. The CJ3 has no page of its own on this site, so the card links to the CJ2.
From €5 600 one way. Indicative starting price for this route, rounded down. The date, the aircraft actually available and airport fees move it — tell us your dates and we confirm within 30 minutes.
A larger cabin, the busy weeks on the Riviera in May and an aircraft flown in from another base are what lift a real offer above this starting point.
In May, around the Monaco Grand Prix and the Cannes festival, aircraft into Nice are in demand; book early for those weeks. Out of season, an aircraft already in Munich is the most useful thing to ask about.
Indicative only: the written quotation for your dates is the price we stand behind. Call +357 95 119759, 24/7.
GET A FIRM PRICETwo quite different trips share this sector. One is business: Munich's industry and trade fairs on one side, Monaco's offices and residences on the other. The other is leisure, concentrated from late spring to early autumn, when the Riviera fills up.
If your final address is in Monaco, mention it at enquiry. Nice is the arrival for the Principality, and we plan the ground transfer around your landing time rather than the other way round.
Tell us your dates and how many of you there are. Your dedicated flight advisor will come back with aircraft options and a firm price.
