This December, Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is playing Santa to young and old throughout the holiday season. Decorations, gifts, activities, pictures with Father Christmas and surprises are in store!

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.

Although it has a long-standing commitment to decarbonising its activities, the Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur group is also responding to a request from the Government and the Côte d'Azur region to reduce electricity consumption without delay. To tackle the challenge, Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur group plans to slash its electricity consumption by 10% , which equates to 3.8 gigawatt-hours. Many of the solutions implemented will play a long-term role in reducing the environmental footprint of its activities even further. A stricter version of this plan may be triggered if the national energy situation worsens.

Nice Cote d’Azur Airport takes note of and welcomes the decision of the Administrative Court of Marseille which supports its Terminal 2 development project, both in terms of its necessity and its integration into a low-carbon strategy. The adaptation of Terminal 2 will ultimately allow passengers passing through the airport to benefit from the best passenger experience and safety conditions.

In the frame of ACI Europe’s 32nd Annual Congress and General Assembly, currently taking place at Fiumicino airport in Rome, Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur (ACA) and Athens International Airport (AIA) have just joined the international network “Airports for Innovation”, founded by Aeroporti di Roma and Aena in 2021 with the goal to explore innovative and sustainable solutions covering the whole passenger experience in the post pandemic context, setting the ground for a sustainable future.

The national carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain is launching its second route to France by connecting its hub to Nice Côte d'Azur. This development of traffic from the Côte d'Azur airport will be possible thanks to the latest generation of Airbus A321neo aircraft with some the best environmental efficiency on the market.
