- Bastia (BIA) and Figari (FSC) can be served from Mandelieu on the same basis.
- Landing on a yacht with a certified helideck is possible in Calvi or Saint-Florent bay.
- ID for the flight manifest: EU national ID card or passport.

How long is the flight?
+
About an hour from Cannes Mandelieu to Calvi-Sainte-Catherine, direct over water with no refuelling stop.
What does it cost?
+
On request. No operator tariff is confirmed on this departure, so the rotation is quoted rather than advertised.
