Press Releases

Air Transat, named best leisure airline in the world, is proud to announce the return of its flights departing from Nice as of 4 May with its all-new Airbus A321neoLR to Montreal taking off.

The summer season, which starts on Sunday 27 March, will mark the return to a network of destinations from Nice Côte d’Azur Airport close to what was offered before the pandemic, with a hundred of destinations, including 9 long-haul flights, to 42 countries. The 20 new features included in this programme reflect the ongoing appeal of the region.

As part of the European Airport-Collaboration Decision Making (A-CDM) project, Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is continuing its collaborative management between operators by equipping all of its in-contact aircraft stands with guidance systems from February 1st. This equipment reinforces airside security, makes plane parking more reliable, and streamlines ground-handling service operations.

Despite stringent health measures and travel restrictions, Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is ending 2021 with a higher traffic than expected – 6.54 million passengers – helped by the return of long-haul flights from the summer season. At the same time, and in accordance with its commitments, the airport has continued its efforts to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions, gaining highest level of Airport Carbon Accreditation, level 4+.

As part of its policy to manage the pandemic, the second-busiest airport in France has developed a technological solution with its partners, which allows passengers to avoid touching the self-service check-in kiosks. This innovation makes the passenger experience even more “touchless” and reduces the spread of any viruses.

The Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur group, which has continually been striving to improve its environmental policy for more than 20 years, has taken an essential new step towards achieving its goal of full net zero emissions, without any offset, by 2030. The award of the new Airport Carbon Accreditation level 4+ certifies the reduction of the absolute value of the Group’s emissions, while the Golfe de Saint-Tropez airport has already become the first airport in France in a position to claim net zero, without any offsetting.

Tuesday 14 September 2021 will go down in history as the day when, for the first time, a Head of State - HSH Prince Albert II of Monaco - flew on a 100% electric plane. This stage in the aviation industry’s efforts to fly without emitting CO2 is in line with the Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur Group’s commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2030.
