Destinations, flights, and services at Nice Côte d'Azur airport

Nice Côte d'Azur Airport is accredited at Level 5.

Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is committed to preserving biodiversity in the lower Var Valley, a Natura 2000 site, through actions carried out alongside the French League for the Protection of Birds (LPO PACA), the French National Forest Office (Office national des forêts) and local authorities. It also supports reforestation and the planting of local trees, as well as the creation of carbon sinks and facilities that support wildlife and plant life, as part of its environmental initiatives across the airport site.

Nice Côte d’Azur Airport has continued reducing its operational emissions by replacing a large part of its service fleet with electric or hybrid vehicles, while its firefighting vehicles remain combustion-powered. Its buildings have been modernised with a tempered-water loop to replace the old gas boilers, and the boarding bridges are powered by 400 Hz to limit the use of aircraft auxiliary power units. The airport has also begun equipping its general aviation parking areas with charging points to make it easier to supply aircraft with decarbonised energy on the ground.

Nice Côte d’Azur Airport has introduced a responsible water management policy to limit consumption on the site, particularly by monitoring usage and managing leaks. It relies on electricity from renewable sources. The airport’s facilities and operations also include measures to protect the soil and reduce the impacts associated with airport activities.

Nice Côte d’Azur Airport has introduced waste-sorting and separate-collection systems across its facilities and runs awareness campaigns for passengers and staff. It is also taking steps to reduce waste at source, reuse materials and recover waste, with suitable treatment channels for each waste stream.

Nice Airport operates solar installations at the airport to generate some of its electricity from renewable sources and reduce its carbon footprint. These facilities form part of the airport’s environmental strategy, managed by its operator, Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur.

Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is served by tram lines 2 and 3, which connect the terminals directly to Nice city centre and the urban network, as well as by several metropolitan and regional bus routes, depending on the destination. Pedestrian paths, cycling access and parking options for bicycles complete the local connections to the terminals. There is no direct rail access: connections are made via Nice-Saint-Augustin station or by urban transport.

Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is continuing to modernise its operations to limit its environmental impact, with optimised take-off paths designed to reduce fuel consumption and noise over built-up areas, as well as increased electrification of vehicles and airside equipment and measures to control the energy consumption of airport facilities.
