Nice Côte d’Azur airport announced Monday the resumption this summer, subject to sanitary conditions, of long-haul flights to New York and Dubai, interrupted with the first confinement. “The resumption of air traffic begins this summer with a flight program which is expanded with eleven new routes including two new destinations, Menorca and Southampton, and, subject to the opening of borders, the return of the first long-haul flights to New York and to Dubai ”, announces in a press release the second airport platform in France.
Internationally, Nice Côte d’Azur, which before the health crisis served up to 120 destinations including China, will find “twelve destinations in seven countries”: Algiers, Tunis, Israel and Turkey but also Dubai with the company Emirates, New York JFK with Delta Airlines and the other New York airport in Newark with La Compagnie. “These latter destinations, however, remain subject to changes in traffic restrictions to and from these countries”, underlines the airport.
New domestic lines are also scheduled (Brest, Nantes, Lille, etc.).
Terminal 1 closed all year round
The company of the Airports of the Côte d’Azur (ACA), a private group which manages Nice, Cannes and Saint-Tropez, employs nearly 600 direct employees. This is ten times less than the Aéroports de Paris group (ADP) which manages Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Le Bourget.
Nice airport signed a long-term partial activity agreement (APLD) in December for a maximum period of three years, providing for employees to work on average at 60%, with a reduction in salary of around 18%, and the possibility of returning to 100% in the event of a strong resumption of activity.
In Nice, at the height of the season, 8,000 people were working at the airport with subcontractors and extras. But in 2021, Terminal 1 is expected to remain closed all year round. The flight program will indeed be less extensive than usual (1,000 per week, against 1,400 in summer 2019)
