REQUEST A QUOTERead the two movement counts and you can see how this direction works. The EBAA recorded 37,425 business-aviation movements at Nice in 2023 - Europe's second busiest business-aviation airport - against only 14,508 at Schiphol, one of the largest scheduled airports on the continent. Flying north, that means the fleet and the capacity are behind you and the constraint is in front of you: the aircraft is easy to find at the Riviera end, and the part of the day worth planning carefully is the arrival.
The departure is the simple half: one field, one terminal, and a helicopter pad for the Monaco end of the coast. The decision on this page is where you land. There is no single Amsterdam airport for a private jet, and the obvious one is often the wrong one - Schiphol is enormous, and its size works against an arriving business jet rather than for it.
| Airport | Codes | Distance | Suits you if |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nice Cote d'Azur | NCE / LFMN | alternative departure | Where you start, and the easy end of the day. The business-aviation terminal is separate from the airline terminals, so boarding is quick, and the helicopter link from Monaco comes into the same airport if that is where your week has been. |
| Rotterdam The Hague | RTM / EHRD | arrival | Land here for Rotterdam, The Hague or the south of the Randstad. It is the usual relief field for business aviation when the Schiphol handling windows do not fit the hour you actually arrive, and on a summer Sunday that hour is the whole question. |
| Lelystad | LEY / EHLE | arrival alternative | Land here if you are going east or north-east of Amsterdam, or if you would simply rather come into a general-aviation field than a hub. Worth asking about when the arrival is at short notice in high summer. |
| Amsterdam Schiphol | AMS / EHAM | 979 km | Land here if you are going into Amsterdam itself, or connecting onto a long-haul departure. It is the arrival that needs the most notice: slots and stands are shared with one of Europe's busiest scheduled operations, and that sharing is the single thing most likely to move the time you actually get off the aircraft. |

979 km, or 529 nautical miles, is a light to midsize sector and range never enters the conversation. Cabin and hold do, and on the way north the hold matters more than it did going south: parties come home from a fortnight on the coast with more than they left with, and on this route the luggage usually chooses the aeroplane.
The common light jet on the Riviera to Northern Europe run. Economical over 979 km, comfortable for a small group, and with a hold that takes holiday luggage rather than just briefcases.
See the Phenom 300 ›A stand-up cabin, which counts on a sector of this length with tired children on board at the end of a holiday. The natural family choice, and the usual answer for a small board party too.
See the Citation XLS+ ›A full galley, a separate lavatory and serious baggage volume. The one to ask for after a longer Riviera stay, or when golf clubs are coming home with the party.
See the Hawker 800XP ›Each of the three has a page of its own in our fleet. A heavier cabin - Legacy 600 or 650, Challenger 605 - is arranged on this sector on request.

No third party publishes a route-level price for Nice to Amsterdam that we would reprint on our own site, so we are not going to set a figure in a table and dress it up as a quotation. What we can do is say plainly what moves the number when the flight runs in this direction.
Two things dominate, and the first of them works in your favour. In high summer the flow on this corridor runs south, so aircraft pile up on the Riviera and it is the northbound sectors that are short of passengers - which is why a one-way in your direction is the easier of the two to price and the likelier of the two to find an empty leg attached to it. The second is ground capacity, and here the balance reverses. At Nice, parking in August limits how long an aircraft can sit waiting for you before it departs. At the Dutch end, a business jet is a small customer among very large ones, so the arrival slot and the stand - not the flying - are what a summer Sunday evening puts a price on.
For scale, and nothing more: the published European hourly ranges for this class run at EUR 4,600-9,700 per flying hour (undated), at EUR 2,900-3,500 per hour (19.02.2026) and at USD 3,750-4,600 per hour (August 2026), depending on whose figures you read. Each is an hourly rate for the class across Europe rather than a price for Nice to Amsterdam, and none of them includes positioning, handling, parking or taxes. Send the dates and we will put a written figure beside them.
A leisure route with a business tail, read from the returning end. It barely exists in February, it is under real pressure in the last fortnight of August, and the northbound peak sits on Sunday evenings rather than Friday afternoons.
| Period | What happens | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| May and October | The shoulder months at both ends. The Riviera is open and warm, the Dutch summer exodus has either not begun or has finished, and there is far less competition for aircraft in either direction. | A week or two ahead is normally enough, and this is the best value in the year on this pair. |
| June to September | The main Mediterranean season and the reason the route exists. Nice is Europe's second busiest business-aviation airport and behaves like it in these months, with parking and handling under sustained pressure - which on a departure day means the aircraft cannot wait around indefinitely for a late party. | Two to three weeks out for a weekend, longer if you want a particular aircraft type rather than whatever is free. Give us a firm departure hour rather than a rough one. |
| Fridays and Sundays in summer | The weekly rhythm here is predictable and unforgiving. Southbound fills on Friday afternoon; northbound - your direction - fills on Sunday evening, when everybody on the coast wants to be home for Monday. Midweek runs light both ways. | Come back on Monday morning instead of Sunday night if the week allows it. It is the cheapest single change you can make to this trip. |
| November to April | Quiet at the Riviera end. The fleet that works the coast through the summer moves up to the Alps for the ski season, so aircraft transit between Nice, Geneva and the north regularly. | The right time to ask about an empty leg going your way. If your dates are flexible, say so at the enquiry rather than after. |
For a good many parties the Netherlands is a staging point rather than the end of the trip. If the aircraft is to carry on the same day, say so when you enquire - it is far easier to plan into the flight than onto it afterwards.
