Cannes, June, 2025 — Léman Aviation and its helicopter division, Alpes Hélicoptères, are proud to announce the opening of a brand-new operational base at Aéroport de Cannes-Mandelieu (LFMD). This strategic expansion marks a key milestone in the company’s growth, offering enhanced service and proximity to clients along the Côte d’Azur — just in time for the busiest season of the year.
Bridging the Alps and the Côte d’Azur
Already established in Annecy — the historical heart of Alpes Hélicoptères — the company continues to scale up its southern operations to meet growing demand for private flights, seasonal charters, and high-frequency transfers between major destinations such as Monaco, Saint-Tropez, Nice, and the Alps.
With this second base, Alpes Hélicoptères further strengthens its ability to provide high- end, efficient, and personalized helicopter solutions — upholding “boutique airline” standards for business and leisure travelers alike.
What this new base means:
- Greater proximity to key French Riviera destinations
- Faster, more flexible operations during peak season
- Expanded helicopter charter and transfer services
- On-site customer care and operational support
- Strengthening future regional aircraft integration and fleet services
“This new base in Cannes represents much more than a location — it’s a promise of continuity, proximity, and service excellence,” said Vincent Pollet, President of Léman Aviation. “We’re proud to now connect the Alps and the Riviera more seamlessly than ever, with our signature precision and passion for premium aviation.”
From One Mountain to Another — Your Sky, Upgraded
Whether it’s a weekend escape, a quick transfer, or a tailored air experience, Alpes Hélicoptères Cannes is ready for takeoff. Our mission remains unchanged: provide reliable, refined, and responsive helicopter services that set new standards across the region.
New base. Same mission. Always flying higher.
