About Nice
French Riviera city on the Mediterranean coast, the centre of a coastline of resorts stretching to Monaco. Wealthy leisure traffic, heavily concentrated in summer.
Population about 550,000 at the game's 2010 snapshot.
Nice is a leisure market: most of its traffic is going on holiday, which rewards big aircraft on fewer flights.
