Albinati Aeronautics’ Falcon 6X Achieves First Landing at Cannes Mandelieu Airport (LFMD)
5 September 2025 – Albinati Aeronautics is proud to announce that its Dassault Falcon 6X, managed under the company’s Maltese AOC, has become the first of its type to land at Cannes Mandelieu Airport. The landing took place at 18:00 local time, marking a milestone both for Albinati Aeronautics and for business aviation operations at LFMD.
Operational authorisation and certification
This authorisation was granted following close collaboration between Albinati Aeronautics operational Teams, Cannes Mandelieu Airport and Dassault ensuring full compliance with stringent regulatory, safety, and environmental requirements. This certification underlines the expertise and dedication of Albinati Aeronautics’ teams, who successfully obtained the necessary approvals for the wide-cabin jet.
Cannes Mandelieu Airport: a highly regulated gateway
Located in the heart of the French Riviera, Cannes Mandelieu Airport is one of Europe’s most regulated and exclusive gateways for private aviation. With its short runway, strict operational constraints, and rigorous noise abatement procedures, access is limited to a select number of business aircraft and specially trained crews.
Falcon 6X proven in challenging airports
This milestone came just one week after the new-generation Falcon 6X demonstrated its performance on the short runway of Gstaad Airport, Saanen, during the Hublot Polo Gold Cup Gstaad. Together, Saanen and now Cannes highlight the proven ability of the aircraft and Albinati Aeronautics’ crew to operate safely and efficiently in some of the most demanding environments.
CEO statement
“The successful authorisation and first landing of our 6X at Cannes Mandelieu is a source of pride for Albinati Aeronautics,” said Stefano Albinati, CEO. “This achievement highlights both the skill of Albinati’s crews in handling short-runway Falcon 6X operations and the dedication of our teams to maintaining the highest standards of safety, precision, and client service.”
Key benefits for charter clients
For Albinati Aeronautics’ private jet charter clients, this represents a significant advantage:
- Direct access to Cannes and exclusive French Riviera destinations
- Travel aboard the latest widebody Falcon 6X, offering exceptional comfort, advanced technology, and outstanding performance
- Discretion, convenience, and time efficiency, with the ability to operate in highly regulated airports
Commitment to operational excellence
This first landing highlights Albinati Aeronautics continued commitment to operational excellence and reinforces its position as a trusted reference in the management and charter of long-range business aircraft.
