A particularly varied selection of new routes this summer will delight Côte d'Azur residents in search of new tourist destinations, as well as the new visitors who will be able to travel to Nice and the surrounding area on direct flights.

Another summer favourite, Istanbul - Sabiha Gocken, the 2nd Istanbul airport, on the Asian side of the city, east of the Bosphorus strait, which now complements the service to Turkey out of Nice. In addition to serving Istanbul, the low-cost operator Pegasus Airline sallows passengers to reach the very popular destinations on the Turkish seaside, as well several cities of the Near and Middle East.
The increased frequencies to existing destinations multiply the opportunities for weekend city breaks to Rome (with Vueling), Amsterdam(easyJet) or even Madrid(Norwegian).
Other new routes and increased frequencies with a high visitor potential, such as Stuttgart (Germanwings), Liège(VLM) or Tel Aviv (El Al by Sundor),will also bring International holidaymakers to the French Riviera.
Finally, two domestic destinations, Limoges (Chalair) and Châteauroux (IGavion), augment the network of 24 French destinations helping to bring families together or enabling holidays on the French Riviera.
For Dominique Thillaud, Chairman of the Board of Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur,
"The air service for the summer of 2015 is remarkable this year, on two counts: on the one hand, it has new, attractive Mediterranean destinations to vary the holiday offer for Côte d'Azur residents, and on the other, it continues the development of international routes with high visitor potential, allowing the summer clientèle to the Côte d'Azur to be renewed each new tourist season."
