At the time, the traffic outlook remained positive, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/en\/sans-contact-aeroport-nice-20211130.html\/\">Covid crisis <\/a>not having been there. Visit <strong>2019<\/strong>Nice's two air terminals had practically reached saturation point with <strong>14.5 million passengers<\/strong>. According to the airport, theoretical capacity is set at 14 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hence the need to develop <strong>25,000 m\u00b2 of additional surface area<\/strong>. The project includes six new boarding gates, a reception hall, a check-in area and facilities for baggage sorting and border control. This additional module will be built in the direction of the Var river, where virgin land still exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This has just been confirmed by the Marseille Administrative Court. It thus confirms the need for the project to develop terminal 2 and its integration into a wider <strong>low-carbon strategy<\/strong>.
