Flights to CEQ Airport

[tamirra]

Hi, has anyone flown into CEQ Airport in Cannes please, if so which airport did you fly from and which airline as im having problems booking flights to there, any help appreciated. Thanks

I think you need your own private jet to use it - as far as I can tell there are no scheduled flights

on the website i saw its for tourists tho, the hotel my daughter wants to book is located next to this airport, so in which case if it was for the use of private jet owners only why would they state in the write up on their hotel that it`s situated next to this particular one, i dont know anyone with a private jet, lol confusing! x

Isn't it for business use only?

Suggest you fly to Nice instead and then shuttle it: http://search.shuttledirect.co.uk

sorry - the website is confusing. No scheduled flights. This shows connections to it though.

Maybe the hotel wants the sort of tourist who arrive in a private jet?

[grasscarp]

or anoraks who want to spot biz jets?

I would certainly like a hotel to tell me if it was next to an airport, so I'd know to take earplugs

Aéroport Cannes Mandelieu doesn't handle scheduled flights. It solely provides facilities for aviation training, flying clubs and private aircraft:

Commercial aircraft serving the area use Aéroport Nice Côte d'Azur:

From the UK there are flights from Birmingham (BmiBaby), Bristol (easyJet), Edinburgh (easyJet), Liverpool (easyJet), London City (BA), Garwick (easyJet), Heathrow (BA & BMI), Luton (easyJet) and Stansted (easyJet).

Those who can afford to do so use the helicopter link (operated by Héli Sécurité) between Nice and Cannes. The bus is much cheaper!

I actually flew into CEQ about 4 years ago as a copilot in a private HS125. I have also flown into Nice in the same capacity. When I was trying to answer this yesterday I had completely forgotten I had done this.
