The two airports have announced that their internal combustion vehicles that cannot be converted to fully electric engines will now be fuelled with biodiesel, which will result in reducing CO2 emissions by 80% over their entire life cycle.

Reflecting its region and mirroring its attractiveness, Nice Côte d'Azur is unveiling its Summer 2023 scheduled programme, which focuses firmly on continuing to improve the region’s connectivity with other cities internationally. Long-haul routes are reaching the record number of 10.

Installed in 1994, the beacon located at the racecourse in Cagnes-sur-Mer will be definitively withdrawn from service on 31 December 2022. It is replaced by the GPS system for guiding aircraft approaching from the West, which guarantees compliance with the procedure for bypassing the Cape of Antibes whenever weather conditions allow.

Launched in March 2022 as a trial, the partnership between the airport and the charity founded by Coluche has been a great success. A first in France, this unprecedented initiative allows travellers to donate products prohibited in the cabin to Restos du Cœur. It will now be continued and expanded to all terminals at the airport.

The Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur group, which has continually been striving to improve its environmental policy for more than 20 years, has taken an essential new step towards achieving its goal of full net zero emissions, without any offset, by 2030. The award of the new Airport Carbon Accreditation level 4+ certifies the reduction of the absolute value of the Group’s emissions, while the Golfe de Saint-Tropez airport has already become the first airport in France in a position to claim net zero, without any offsetting.
