Flights to Nice
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Nice is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport (NCE), 6 km (4 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,721 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Cuneo International Airport (CUF, 98 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Nice-Côte d'Azur Airport | NCE | 6 km (4 mi) | 9,721 ft | 12 ft |
| Cuneo International Airport (regional) | CUF | 98 km (61 mi) | 6,903 ft | 1,267 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,721 ft, NCE handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 12 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
