Despite a net drop in passenger traffic of 68.4%, Nice Côte d’Azur Airport comes out fighting from this unprecedented year. Its modernisation works, the implementation of new activity management systems, the efficient structuring of a health protection policy deemed exemplary, and the upholding of its environmental commitments help make it, in line with its objectives, an airport of the future: safer, more secure and more efficient.
In accordance with commitments made in January 2020, during the presentation of its Cap 2030 program, Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur has announced the establishment of a tripartite agreement, the first of its kind in France, with local towns and the National Forestry Office, to plant trees at the heart of the Côte d'Azur region and thus benefit from carbon sinks.
Concentrating all the functions related to airport operations – management of passenger flows, baggage, aircraft on stands – and technical equipment maintenance, this ultramodern superstructure, promoted by Eurocontrol, puts Nice Airport among the most advanced airports in Europe with regard to airport operations management through overall performance, making it additionally possible to help air traffic flow more smoothly. Ultimately, the airport’s APOC (Airport Operations Center) will also integrate all the functions linked to airport access management, safety and security.
In response to the announcement of the French Minister for Transport on 15 October and at the request of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) for the implementation of health corridors, Nice Côte d’Azur Airport has organised and established a room dedicated to antigen tests in its Terminal 2. This unprecedented arrangement, made possible through the mobilisation of all authorities and partner airlines, represents a full-scale test that aims to be deployed on a wider scale and in the long term in other airports.
