Nice Côte d'Azur airport is responding to increased passenger demand with a one thousand million French francs expansion over the next three years, including a glass terminal extension, an enlarged car park and a special 'commuter zone.' \rThe expansion, to be completed in 2002, will see Terminal 2 extended to cater for a further four million passengers which will increase the airport's capacity to 12 million passengers. Aircraft parking stations for up to three wide bodied aircraft or six short distance aircraft will be directly accessible from the terminal, which will serve both national and international traffic. \rTerminal 2's car park will consist of three blocks each comprising four floors. Work is scheduled to start in January, 2000 and be completed in April, 2002. The airport states: "To ensure architectural continuity with the existing Terminal 2, the architect for this project is Paul Andreu, the designer of Terminal 2 as it stands today."
