Preventing pollution

Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur is committed to developing protecting the environmental.  

Conscious of our responsibility towards the rich biodiversity of our region, we are deeply committed to preventing pollution and building a sustainable future. 
It is therefore vital that we assess and limit the environmental impact of our operations. 

Using our approach, which is based on proactive risk and noise prevention, we implement concrete measures to minimise our footprint and optimise our use of resources. 

  • Noise pollution

    Nice Côte d'Azur Airport measures all aircraft landings and taking offs daily, using 10 noise sensors located on and around the airport and radar trajectories. 

    Over the years, Nice Côte d'Azur Airport has also developed its air navigation procedures and introduced numerous operating rules to contain, control and reduce the impact of aviation activity on its environment.

  • Waste management and the circular economy

    See more See less

    We aim to reduce our waste at source and ensure that any waste is sorted and treated, with particular attention paid to hazardous materials. 

    Recycling

    To increase the proportion of waste recycled, we commissioned a study of the waste generated by our activities. This led to introducing a system of source separated recycling, for both airport professionals and passengers, which allowed us to make progress towards our goal of recovering household packaging, the main waste stream produced by our passengers and shops.

    Donations and Reuse

    We are tackling obsolescence and waste by donating items confiscated at the security check points  as well as lunchboxes  to the Restos du Cœur charity.

    Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur is actively committed to protecting air quality and tackling climate change. The airport measures pollutants at the airport every day as part of the ATMO Sud measurement network, which has been operating and maintaining the measuring station since 2005 and carries out independent studies.
