The airport's luggage claim area was evacuated and military were inside the building, according to reports.
A suspect package had been left at the airport, leading to the shutdown, said people on the scene.
But police later allowed passengers back into the airport, with the situation being described as returning to normal
Security in the airport, as well as the rest of Nice, is high after an attack that left 84 people dead overnight. A man drove through the city's promenade in a truck, killing and injuring people celebrating France's Bastille Day, before being shot by police.
