Air Charter Monaco arranges flights for guests traveling from the United States to Monaco for its casinos and its race weekends. Monte-Carlo is known around the world for both, and the busiest weekends book up early.
Race weekends
The Formula 1 Grand Prix de Monaco is in early June, with the race weekend on June 4th-6th, 2027, subject to FIA approval. The Monaco E-Prix, the Formula E race, comes earlier, on May 1st-2nd, 2027. Grand Prix week is the busiest week of the year on the Riviera, and the airports fill early. If you plan to be there, we suggest booking as soon as you know your dates.
A few nights in Monte-Carlo
Plenty of clients come for a few nights at the tables with no race on the calendar at all. From the East Coast this is a transatlantic trip in each direction. A long-range jet can usually fly it without stopping, and a heavy or super midsize jet will usually stop for fuel. The jet lands at Nice, since Monaco has no runway, and you travel the last part of the way by car or by helicopter.
If you are bringing friends, give us the full passenger count when you call, because the number of people and the amount of luggage both affect which aircraft will work. We can also ask the operator to arrange catering and a flight attendant for the crossing.
Security on the ground
Some guests travel with valuables, large winnings from the casinos, and others simply prefer to have security with them. We can help arrange a security detail and armored vehicle service for the drive to and from the airport. Our bodyguard and armored vehicle page explains what we can arrange.
Vetting Behind Every Trip
Every operator, aircraft, and crew goes through our internal due diligence before we present any options. Our internal standards meet or exceed what the FAA requires:
- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
Monaco-Specific Patterns We Plan Around
Monaco has no airport runway, so private jets land at Nice Côte d’Azur, about ten nautical miles from the Monaco Heliport, or at Cannes-Mandelieu for smaller jets, and the last part of the trip is by car or by helicopter. Nice is a busy airport with slots all year, and the Grand Prix in early June, the Monaco Yacht Show in September and the summer season fill the Riviera’s airports early, so those dates book first. Every flight from the United States lands in France, so passengers clear French border control on arrival, each needs a valid passport, and Monaco adds no border formalities of its own. From New York or Boston, Nice is roughly 3,500 nautical miles away, which is why a long-range jet is usually the aircraft that makes the crossing without a fuel stop.
