1

Description of the airport Located seven ki lometres north of Paris and covering 553 hectares, Paris-Le Bourget is the leading business airport in Europe in terms of movements. Thanks to its proximity to the main APHP hospitals and its ease of operation, Paris-Le Bourget is also the leading European airport in terms of health and medical flights. The airport also hosts many formal flights from foreign delegations (Heads of State, Ministers, etc.). With its three runways and parking areas, it can accommodate all types of aircraft, including wide-bodied aircraft. Paris-Le Bourget is also a major aeronautics industry cluster: around 30 buildings house nearly 100 aircraft maintenance, equipment and fitting companies and airport services. The airport is also a hotspot for aviation training with the presence of the AFME campus (maintenance and commercial professions) and the company Flight Safety (Pilots). Companies set up at the site account for over 3,500 direct jobs in operations, maintenance, services and culture, with the Musée de l’Air et de l’Espace (Air and Space Museum), which celebrated its 100 th anniversary in 2019, the Galerie d’art Gagosian (Gagosian Gallery), and the construction of an art conservation centre which opened in 2020. After 2021, during which a recovery in traffic began with 51,745 movements, activity in 2022 was very dynamic with 63,780 movements.

Paris-Le Bourget Airport played an important role at the height of the health crisis, enabling the transport of patients, organs and medical equipment thanks to the presence of companies specialising in this field. The airport remained open, thus contributing to air connectivity while many scheduled airlines or other modes of transport were severely affected. Although the economic difficulties caused by the health crisis forced Groupe ADP to revise its investment program, major projects have nevertheless been undertaken to maintain the objectives of compliance, modernisation and development of the airport for the coming years: ◆ the continuation of works for the construction of the “Le Bourget Aéroport” station on the airport site, as part of the line 17 project of the Grand Paris Express; ◆ the rehabilitation of runway 03/21, which is now able to accommodate aircraft under the best possible conditions, particularly during the International Air and Space Show; ◆ the construction of the new aeronautical fire station, which was commissioned in December 2022; ◆ maintenance and repair operations on the so-called Lossier hangars in 2021/2022.
