Travel and COVID-19 - This summer, going on holiday will once again be possible. Fly direct to over 90 destinations from Nice!

Air travel is poised to take off again this summer, with a flight schedule including 11 new routes and 2 new destinations, Menorca and Southampton, and - provided borders are open again - the return of the first long-haul flights to New York and Dubai.
