Tyler Perry flies from Barcelona to Nice the week of the Cannes Film Festival

Tyler Perry flew from Barcelona to Nice on May 15, 2026, a 69-minute hop aboard his Embraer E-190 (N378TP) that landed at Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport just before 9 a.m. local time. The short leg from Spain to the French Riviera is a familiar prelude for industry figures arriving for the Cannes Film Festival, which opened this week and runs through May 26.

Perry, whose Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta is the largest film studio in the United States, has been a regular presence at Cannes in recent years. The festival's market and premiere slate offer the kind of deal-making and networking that aligns with his dual roles as producer and distributor. No public appearance or screening has been announced for Perry at this year's festival, but his arrival in Nice — the primary gateway for attendees — suggests business meetings or project announcements are likely.

The flight follows a pattern of European travel for Perry this spring. His aircraft was tracked over the Iberian Peninsula the day before, and the brief Barcelona stopover may have been a refueling or logistics pause before the final descent into the festival circuit. The Cannes Film Festival remains one of the few events where a private jet arrival is routine rather than remarkable.
