PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP 1 GROUPE ADP’S ACTIVITIES

Cargo and mail business There are several types of players in cargo and mail: u the loaders, who are at the start of transport operations, have goods to be transported from one place to another. They sign a contract with a cargo forwarding agent, who organises shipment from point to point on their behalf; u the cargo forwarding agents or cargo agents who are both transit agents and logistics specialists. They organise the collection, transport and delivery of the goods. They are responsible for organising the entire transport chain and, if they have approval, customs formalities; u road hauliers in charge of pre- and post-sales transportation of shipments from the shipper's facilities to the airport warehouses; u the General Sales Agents (GSA), designated by an airline company to sell the cargo capacity in aircraft holds on their behalf; u airlines, which transport cargo either in the hold of passenger flights (mixed flights) or in all-cargo flights; u express freight players or integrators, in particular FedEx, which has installed its European hub at the Paris-Charles de Gaulle hub, as well as DHL and UPS. More recently, the arrival of CMA CGM in 2022 at Paris-Charles de Gaulle has contributed to the growth of the activity; u traditional mail players such as La Poste which, in the case of Groupe ADP, has grouped its air services at Paris Charles de Gaulle airport;

u handlers (ground-handling), responsible for receipt and packaging of goods in the cargo stores before they are loaded onto the aircraft; u ground-handling services, which carry out the transport of cargo airside as well as loading it on to the aircraft. Public authorities The public authorities in the countries where Groupe ADP operates are responsible for a number of services required for the operation of airfields: u air traffic control; u security operations such as background checks on persons authorised to enter the airside area, and the supervision and control of security operations carried out by airfield operators and security guards. Certain other missions may be entrusted to Groupe ADP and its entities as operator: security checks of passengers and baggage, personnel and goods; u the public security services; u border control; u health checks are carried out by the competent public authorities, which Groupe ADP may be called upon to assist. Without prejudice to the skills of the aforementioned services, Groupe ADP ensures, at each airfield that it operates, the coordination of the actions of the various stakeholders in order to guarantee the proper functioning of the airport service.
