Nice Côte d’Azur Airport: a dynamic force that enhances the region’s accessibility
In 2025, Nice Côte d’Azur Airport will confirm its growth and strengthen the region’s international connectivity. This strategic development will support the destination’s MICE appeal, combining ease of access, quality hospitality and a commitment to sustainability.
A dynamic international gateway
With more than 15.23 million passengers recorded in 2025, the airport shows continued growth, confirming its leading role in the French Riviera area. This momentum is driven by an increase in international traffic—particularly important for professional events with European and global reach.
Long-haul routes opening up new opportunities
Accessibility is a key success factor for a congress, incentive trip, or corporate event. In 2025, the launch and strengthening of long-haul routes—especially to Washington (summer) and Dakar (winter)—further supported Nice Côte d’Azur’s international positioning.
As a result, the destination can more easily welcome participants from strategic markets, with a smoother journey from the moment they arrive.
A modernized passenger experience at Terminal 2
Because the welcome starts at the airport, Nice Côte d’Azur continues to transform its infrastructure. Terminal 2 has already benefited from new developments, including areas adapted to non-Schengen traffic, an expanded service offering, and a renovated VIP lounge. Additional improvements are also expected before the 2026 peak season.
This evolution strengthens the promise of a premium, smooth, and efficient destination—highly appreciated in the business tourism sector.
Business aviation on the rise: an advantage for premium events
Nice Côte d’Azur also confirms its appeal to a high-value clientele: business aviation activity is increasing in Nice.
A strong signal for the luxury segment and exclusive event formats (executive committees, brand launches, high-end incentives).
A committed destination aligned with CSR requirements
Another key point for MICE decision-makers: environmental performance. The airport stands out by becoming the first in France to achieve Level 5 of Airport Carbon Accreditation, the highest level of the program. The group has also been awarded a Gold medal by EcoVadis.
A strong asset to support more responsible events, in line with the expectations of companies and event organizers.
In summary: why this is excellent news for MICE
In 2025, Nice Côte d’Azur more than ever meets the requirements of a high-performing business destination:
✅ Stronger international access
✅ Modernized infrastructure
✅ Premium capacity and growing business aviation
✅ Recognized environmental commitment
