Party of 10 flew into Marseille-Provence airport to be taken by helicopter to luxury Cannes villa
A group of would-be holidaymakers who flew in a private jet from London to the Côte d’Azur in France has been turned back by police.
Seven men and three women arrived on the chartered aircraft to Marseille-Provence airport, where helicopters were waiting to fly them on to Cannes, where they had rented a luxury villa.
The men, aged 40-50, and women, aged 23-25, were refused permission to enter France and ordered by police to fly back to the UK.
“They were coming for a holiday in Cannes and three helicopters were waiting on the tarmac,” a border police spokesperson told Agence France-Presse. “We notified them they were not allowed to enter the national territory and they left four hours later.”
Once the Embraer Legacy jet had landed at Marseille-Provence, the group, made up of several nationalities including Croatian, German, French, Romanian and Ukrainian, reportedly tried to get help from contacts to continue their journey.
“They tried to make use of their connections and made a few phone calls,” the source said.
The helicopter pilots were told to return to their base and were fined for breaking the French lockdown rules.
The jet, chartered by a Croatian businessman reportedly in “finance and property”, arrived last Saturday, but details were only released on Thursday. French police said they would be carrying out strict checks on private aircraft arriving in France over the Easter period.
All non-essential travel inside France has been banned since 17 March and a recent tightening of the restrictions means anyone entering the country should hold an international travel certificate showing the journey is essential.
The authorities in France and Britain have made it clear that travelling to a second home in either country does not qualify as essential.
“Crossing borders needs a legitimate or urgent reason,” a police spokesperson said.
BFMTV reported that nine of the jet passengers returned to the UK and the 10th chartered a private jet to Berlin.
Not really from the UK then, I see the Guardian couldn't resist though.
god he must be single.
You really do need to learn to read the detail.

The Guardian sub editors have some sort of bonus per click. Typical with articles that have comments on that the first few comments query why the headline was misleading. This is on football articles, anything. With this piece the headline writer knew the readership would click like lightning, expected a story about Bullingdon types chartering a plane

Perhaps it would be helpful for you, reduce your stress level.

For those who rush to conclusions, perhaps, but that is to be avoided.
It invariably leads to bad decision making.
kindly slink back into your cave while us progressives dominate what is allowed and not allowed in the currant clibe eat

French police turn back private jet of holidaymakers from UK
I assumed from that title they were British.
1I'd like to know if the 10th passenger arrived in Kurfürstenstraße safely?
just for Hair Edy. No point in explaining the post to some as it's gone swooping over their noggins
Well done to the French Authority. I'd have impounded and possibly confiscated the private jet unless a meaningful reason is forthcoming eg a flight of mercy.

I'm not quite convinced by that. Anybody can fake text in a hurry. Can you put that in a screenshot? The forum has always been in a 12 hour format and BST (in summers) and GMT (in winters) for me.
No, I can not answer that question, sorry.
I lived in Berlin for years and didn't know it. Then again, I don't seek out street prostitutes too often either. I prefer clubs.

There is a world of difference between having an actual understanding of any subject matter and simply self declaring an understanding on an anonymous internet forum.
I don't have any doubts that saddo deducted it.
The far more curious thing is still that some foreigner knows the street prostitution hotspot of Berlin to even make the reference to begin with.
