Throughout summer 2019, Nice Côte d’Azur will be offering 120 scheduled destinations (non-chartered), including 96 international destinations.
Nine of the 12 new destinations (Newark, Kuwait, Moscow Domodedovo, Chișinău, Kraków, Belgrade, Cork, Rotterdam, Porto, Brest, Agen and La Rochelle) are exclusively international, as are seven of the nine strengthened routes.
Three geographic zones symbolize the growing global status of Nice Côte d’Azur Airport:
- The growing number of Russian citizens travelling to the Riviera every year for tourism or to visit friends or relatives will benefit from a new Moscow rotation with S7 Airlines (six flights per week) and another for Saint Petersburg (two flights per week). Additionally, Air Moldova will be present at the airport, with three weekly frequencies connecting Nice to Chișinău, from April 26 to October 25. Meanwhile, Air Serbia will connect the Riviera to Belgrade and Wizz Air will provide a connection to Kraków, with two weekly frequencies.
- Traffic with the Middle East, a region which provides high-profit tourists, will be supported by the arrival of Kuwait Airways on June 3 (a first in France outside of Paris) and the transition of Qatar Airways to A350-900 aircraft. Nice Côte d’Azur will be the only airport in France outside of Paris to receive this new generation aircraft
- North America, with an additional frequency to Montreal operated for the first time using the A321neo LR by Air Transat, and the creation of the route to Newark by 100 percent business class airline La Compagnie, extending a fast-growing international network.
Overall, this new summer program strengthens and consolidates the network of destinations offered by Nice Côte d’Azur Airport, which now provides 120 direct, scheduled, non-chartered connections. Focusing on the cities that are most attractive or generate the most high-potential tourists, these connect the Territory to 43 countries: three more than last year (Moldova, Kuwait and Serbia). They also offer a second scheduled flight to New York. The frequencies will be provided by 58 scheduled airlines: four more than in summer 2018.
