A Brief History of Nice Côte d’Azur Airport

Nice Airport was founded in 1930, making it one of the oldest airports in France. It was rebuilt and modernised following the Second World War, at which point an 1,100-metre runway was constructed as part of the wider reconstruction effort. The airport has grown substantially since then and today serves as an Air France hub in addition to its extensive general aviation operations. The dedicated business and general aviation terminal opened in 2010, reflecting the longstanding importance of private travel to the Côte d’Azur.
