NICE COTE D'AZUR Airport is a potential shareholder in a proposed airline to be based in the city.
Despite being intensively marketed over the past two years and becoming the third-busiest airport in France, it still has no resident carrier.
The envisaged airline, to be formed with other unnamed shareholders possibly as soon as January 1996, would initially operate six 30- to 50-seat turboprop aircraft to some nine south European cities.
Airport sources believe that this could be built up to a fleet of 15 aircraft, including regional jets.
