Put the small seats in the big ones. The airline Delta announced on Tuesday March 8 the return of its connection between Nice and New York for Sunday March 27by a refurbished Boeing 767, with five round trips per week, then a daily flight at the beginning of May.
Several companies offer this direct flight. United Airlines launches in late April for the first time. Another operator, “La compagnie”, departs from Nice with a direct flight, entirely in business class. The Delta flight will leave Nice at noon and arrive at 3 p.m. local time in New York. The return is scheduled at 7:40 p.m.
The challenge on the return flight: bringing in American tourists. They were more than half a million before the Covid on the Cote d’Azur. A clientele that spends an average of 150 euros per day.
The link is celebrating its 30th anniversary. It will remain seasonal at first, before possibly being extended beyond if the clientele is there.
