Private Jet from London to Nice: What It Costs in 2026
Disclosure: this guide contains referral links. If you book a flight through them, we may earn a commission from the broker at no extra cost to you. It never changes the prices or advice on this page. How we make money.
A private jet from London to Nice costs about £7,000 to £22,000 one way on a turboprop to super midsize jet, and £20,000 to £34,000 on a large-cabin jet, based on the prices five charter brokers publish for this route. The flight takes about 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 10 minutes, usually from Farnborough, Biggin Hill or Luton into Nice Côte d'Azur.
Two taxes are easy to miss: UK Air Passenger Duty on the way out, and a French tax of €420 per passenger on a business jet flying back from Nice. Shared by six passengers, a light jet works out to roughly £1,600 to £2,400 per person one way.

Taxes on a London to Nice private flight
These come from government sources and are charged per passenger, on top of the aircraft price unless your quote says it is all-in.
| Leg | Tax | Rate |
|---|---|---|
| London → Nice | UK Air Passenger Duty, standard rate (jets under 20 tonnes, most light to super midsize jets) | £32 per passenger |
| London → Nice | UK Air Passenger Duty, higher rate (jets of 20 tonnes or more with fewer than 19 seats, i.e. most large-cabin jets) | £142 per passenger |
| Nice → London | French solidarity tax on business aviation, jet | €420 per passenger |
| Nice → London | French solidarity tax on business aviation, turboprop | €210 per passenger |
Sources: GOV.UK, APD rates 2026-27 (Nice is in Band A, under 2,000 miles), French Ministry of Ecological Transition, 2026 notice. The French rate applies to non-scheduled flights on aircraft with 19 seats or fewer departing France since 1 March 2025; the UK counts as a "European or similar" destination.
London to Nice private jet cost per person
You pay for the aircraft, so the per-person price falls as the cabin fills. Using the published one-way ranges:
| Group | Aircraft | One-way price | Per person |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4 people | Light jet (Villiers, Phenom 300E) | £10,500 to £14,500 | about £2,600 to £3,600 |
| 6 people | Light jet (Global Charter "from") | £9,600 | about £1,600 |
| 6 people | Light jet (Villiers range) | £10,500 to £14,500 | about £1,750 to £2,400 |
| 8 people | Midsize jet (Villiers, Citation Latitude) | £13,500 to £18,000 | about £1,700 to £2,250 |
Add the taxes above per person. Seat counts vary by model, and luggage (golf bags, summer cases) often limits a light jet before the seats do.
How long is a private jet from London to Nice?
About 1 hour 45 minutes to 2 hours 10 minutes in the air for roughly 580 nautical miles (about 1,100 km), according to Global Charter; Welojets lists about 1 hour 41 minutes on a midsize jet, and Villiers about 1 hour 50 minutes.

Best airports for a London to Nice private flight
| Airport | Good to know | |
|---|---|---|
| London | Farnborough (FAB) | Business-aviation airport south-west of London |
| Biggin Hill (BQH) | Private aviation only, about 19 km from Canary Wharf (LunaJets) | |
| Luton (LTN) | Commonly used for this route (Welojets prices from Luton) | |
| Stansted (STN), London City (LCY), Northolt, Oxford | Options depending on the aircraft and where it is positioned | |
| Riviera | Nice Côte d'Azur (NCE) | Main gateway, about 7 km from Nice, with a general aviation terminal (LunaJets) |
| Cannes-Mandelieu (CEQ) | Closer to Cannes and Antibes, smaller aircraft only (Global Charter) | |
| Saint-Tropez La Mole, Toulon-Hyères | Alternatives listed by PrivateFly for the western Riviera |
Nice is the usual airport for Monaco. Pick the London airport closest to where you start: on a flight of under two hours, the drive to the airport can take nearly as long as the flight.
When London to Nice is most expensive
- Major event weeks. Global Charter says quotes can be more than 20% above comparable dates during the Monaco Grand Prix and the Cannes Film Festival, when aircraft and parking at Nice are in short supply.
- Summer. Villiers puts landing, parking and handling for a midsize jet at Nice in July at £1,500 to £3,500, money that is often inside the "all-in" price but not in a "from" price.
- Your return. If the jet waits for you at Nice over several days, ask whether crew overnights and parking are included or whether two one-way trips are cheaper.
Cheaper ways to fly private from London to Nice
- Right-size the aircraft. On published "from" prices, a light jet is roughly £4,000 cheaper than a midsize jet one way.
- Look for empty legs between London and the Riviera. They sell at a discount but run on the operator's schedule and can be cancelled.
- Travel outside event weeks and the peak of summer.
- Compare all-in quotes. A low "from" price can end higher than an all-in quote once handling and taxes are added.
