Rare aircraft lands in Nice - A rare aircraft has been spotted in Nice for the first time. Last week, an A340 plane that had never been to Nice landed twice on the airport tarmac with the AS Monaco football team onboard. The aircraft was chartered from the company USC based in Germany, which specializes in the transport of passengers and goods. It can accommodate 253 people. The AS Monaco football team headed to Doha, Qatar, where Adi Hütter's men were playing the Champions Trophy match against PSG. AS Monaco lost 1-0. The A330 finally returned in the early hours of Monday morning January 6th.
