(ANSA) - Paris, July 28 - France has accepted a 1.2-billion-euro offer from an Italian-majority consortium to buy 60% of Nice Côte d'Azur Airport, local media cited ministry sources as saying Thursday. Nice's international airport is the country's third largest in terms of passenger numbers after Roissy and Orly. The Azzurra consortium consists of holding company Atlantia SpA (65.1%), Aeroporti di Roma (ADR) airport operator (10%) and France's EDF Invest (12.9%). The French finance ministry later confirmed the deal, saying Azzurra has committed to preserving jobs at the Nice airport and to continue efforts to reduce its environmental impact.
