Please tell me also! At 70 euros per 15 mins for a GPU at LFMN I would expect it do do that, but quite how is a mystery!
I guess Cannes will soon be busier again.
Edit: London ****ty was a joke until they recently upped their game due to complaints vociferously voiced here. Perhaps the excessive charging of services, catering and handling at Nice should now be the target of our wrath? Only joined up action will bring about change.

It really works
CL300 & GLF
You attach the huffer to the external air inlet and ask for 50psi. You already have the GPU connected for electricity. Now the plane works exactly as if you have the APU running. The aircon works as normal. When you engage start the air is redirected to the airstart and the aircon shuts down.
The book implies it works but is vague. I asked at all the recurrents and no one could answer the question. But after one week with a U/S APU, it became apparent that the aircon works just fine with air from the external airstart inlet. All you are doing is filling the main gantry with pressurised air just like the APU bleed.

so you are running a diesel engine of an ASU in order to try to run the ACM of the A/C pack... hmm interesting, but the AirCon nozzles for ground A/C are low pressure high volume type with a hose that have a 15 inches diameter.. where do you stick it ? entry door ? baggage compartment ?
How do you redirect the flow to your cooling drawers ?
ASU, GPU....what else ? then you have a slot to meet... and how about your hydraulic tests ?
Kilo Apron at LFMN is a total failure on the operators side. IHMO

Ok relax.
I did not say we sat with the ASU running to give us aircon. IF you attach the ASU to the external start inlet, (don't worry yourself about baggage doors etc) hey presto, the Aircon works.
I am not saying the LFMN idea is a good one.
So give me a break. I've shared a little nugget of information, free of charge
take it or leave it.

Passed through Nice the other day and was told by reliable sources that this entire idea could very well be scrapped. Apparently changes in airport management and now more bizjet friendly going forward. Wait and see I guess...
