Nice Côte d’Azur Airport has unveiled its Summer 2026 flight programme, its most ambitious to date, with 130 destinations across 47 countries — eight more than last year and the largest network in the airport’s history. The summer season begins gradually at the end of March and runs through to autumn.

The programme includes 18 new additions, of which ten are entirely new destinations: Billund via Norwegian, Boston via Delta, Bratislava via Wizz Air, Cagliari via easyJet, Cork via Aer Lingus, Funchal via easyJet, Gdansk via Wizz Air, Hanover via Eurowings, Newcastle via easyJet, and Seville via Vueling.

Three routes previously operated only in winter — Chisinau, Hurghada and Vilnius, served by Wizz Air and easyJet — will now run year-round, while five existing routes will benefit from increased capacity through the addition of new operators, including Birmingham, Bucharest, Bordeaux, Djerba and Paris Orly.

Changes on the Paris route

The Paris Orly connection is set for a significant restructuring. Transavia France will take over flights previously operated by Air France on this route, offering up to eight flights per day at peak times. EasyJet, which also operates the Orly service, will match that frequency. Air France, meanwhile, has opted to increase capacity on its separate Paris-Charles de Gaulle service.

A record long-haul network

Of the 130 destinations on offer, 112 are international — reinforcing Nice’s position as the second major entry point to France and Northern Italy after Paris. The launch of the Boston service brings the total number of long-haul summer routes to 15, a record for the airport. Seven routes connect the Côte d’Azur directly to the United States, two to Canada and six to the Middle East.

Franck Goldnadel, Chairman of the Executive Board of Aéroports de la Côte d’Azur, said the programme reflected both the region’s appeal and the confidence of airlines in the airport’s capacity. “The opening of our Terminal 2 extension this spring contributes to the development and will allow us to offer visitors from around the world the highest quality of service,” he said.
