An international summer programme with a clear structure
As the summer 2026 season approaches, Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is rolling out a programme that marks a new stage in its development. From the end of March through to autumn, the airport will operate a network of 130 destinations across 47 countries. This growth is in line with the previous year, with a clear increase in the number of routes.
In this context, international traffic takes centre stage. Across the full network, 112 destinations are located outside France, confirming the airport’s focus on international flows. This structure strengthens its role as a regional hub for the French Riviera and northern Italy.
Ten new destinations and strengthened routes
The programme includes ten new destinations operated by several airlines, including Boston, Seville, Newcastle and Gdańsk. These launches reflect a diversification of served markets, combining European destinations with long-haul routes.
At the same time, some routes that were previously winter seasonal services are being extended into the summer period. Chișinău, Hurghada and Vilnius are thus becoming year-round services, helping to stabilise the offer.
Lastly, several existing routes are being reinforced by the arrival of new operators: Birmingham, Bucharest, Bordeaux, Djerba and Paris Orly.
A reshaped Paris service
The route between Nice and Paris is undergoing a change. Transavia France is taking over operations on flights to Orly, with frequencies reaching up to eight daily rotations during peak periods. easyJet is maintaining a similar level of service on the same route.
In addition, Air France is concentrating its offer on Paris Charles de Gaulle, with increased frequencies.
A strengthened long-haul position
Summer 2026 is also marked by an unprecedented level of long-haul connectivity. With 15 active routes, the airport is setting a record in this category. The network is divided between seven routes to the United States, two to Canada and six to the Middle East.
The launch of Boston adds to this network, strengthening the airport’s transatlantic footprint. This densification helps consolidate Nice Côte d’Azur’s role as France’s second-largest airport gateway.
“Our provisional flight schedule for this summer reflects the growing attractiveness of our region, its economic and cultural dynamism, and the confidence airlines have in our ability to handle an increasing number of passengers. The opening this spring of our Terminal 2 extension is part of that momentum and will enable us to offer visitors from around the world the highest quality of service,” says Franck Goldnadel, Chairman of the Executive Board of Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur.
