Passenger traffic in July and August 2023 reached 99.9% of 2019 levels for the same months, but with fewer aircraft movements. These results are partly down to the success of long-haul routes, the growing share of regional connections in France - for which other modes of transport remain problematic -, and a higher passenger load factor.
Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is issuing a major call for tenders covering its entire commercial offer, split between its three terminals dedicated to scheduled and business flights. A rare opportunity for brands to reach out to a predominantly international customer base.
Staying true to its commitment to providing the best experiences for its passengers, Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is relaunching a call for tenders to offer some new retail concepts at its two terminals. The large numbers of high-income passengers, combined with a predominantly international exposure, together represent a unique opportunity for retailers to promote their know-how and test new markets.
Reflecting its region and mirroring its attractiveness, Nice Côte d'Azur is unveiling its Summer 2023 scheduled programme, which focuses firmly on continuing to improve the region’s connectivity with other cities internationally. Long-haul routes are reaching the record number of 10. With 21 new routes, of which 16 are newly launched and 3 are route annualisations, the airport is introducing its dynamism into the region's strategy to support quality tourism all year long.
In yet another investment aimed at reducing fossil fuel use in its own activities as well as those of its partners and staff, Nice Côte d’Azur Airport now offers passengers parking spaces equipped with electric vehicle charging terminals.
Through its actions aimed at limiting air transport emissions, reducing its own energy consumption and reducing waste, the Group accelerated its strategy geared to supporting the return to better connectivity for its region, after two years marked by the consequences of the health crisis, and to developing sustainable tourism. The development or recovery of air routes, and an upsurge in air traffic meant the Group was able to play its part in the economic dynamism of the French Riviera, despite a still-fragile context.
Installed in 1994, the beacon located at the racecourse in Cagnes-sur-Mer will be definitively withdrawn from service on 31 December 2022. It is replaced by the GPS system for guiding aircraft approaching from the West, which guarantees compliance with the procedure for bypassing the Cape of Antibes whenever weather conditions allow.
Launched in March 2022 as a trial, the partnership between the airport and the charity founded by Coluche has been a great success. A first in France, this unprecedented initiative allows travellers to donate products prohibited in the cabin to Restos du Cœur. It will now be continued and expanded to all terminals at the airport.
The recovery in air traffic continues unabated at Nice Côte d'Azur airport, which is offering a flight schedule of 67 destinations to 30 countries for the upcoming winter season - a similar situation to that of 2019, but expanded with 22 new destinations, 21 of which are international.
