1 PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP MAIN HUBS

A powerful hub Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport is the global hub of Air France and the main European hub of the SkyTeam alliance, with Amsterdam-Schiphol Airport. The airport maintained its top three ranking in passenger traffic for European airports behind London LHR, Istanbul IST and ahead of Amsterdam AMS, Madrid MAD and Frankfurt FRA. It is the European hub of La Poste and FedEx, whose recent extension increased sorting capacity by 40%. It is also home to all of the main international freight companies. In June 2022, CMA CGM began its first flights at Paris Charles de Gaulle and now operates almost 50 rotations a month with three cargo aircraft based at Paris-Charles de Gaulle. The general cargo business was also strengthened in 2023 with the arrival of a new Chinese airline, China Central Airlines, while Air China and Emirates also began operating all-cargo aircraft from Paris-Charles de Gaulle after a long absence. The full-year effects of these new rotations were felt in 2024, making it – outside the atypical Covid years – a record year in terms of general cargo activity, which was the highest of the last 15 years.

Paris Airport continued to transform its infrastructure, despite the Covid - 19 health crisis. The renovated Terminal 2B as well as the connecting building between Terminals 2B and 2D were commissioned in June 2021. The baggage sorting system at Terminal 2D was upgraded to STD3 standards in April 2023, recovering its check-in capacity from that date. The return to service of Terminal 1, with its new boarding lounge connecting the former international satellites 1, 2 and 3, has been effective since December 2022. These projects, with the highest quality of service and hospitality standards, have made it possible to optimise the reception capacities and comfort of passengers as well as the offer of services in a “One Roof” approach, successfully tested in Terminals 2A and 2C (2012). Renovation work on Terminal 2C was completed in summer 2024 (upgrading the baggage screening system to standard 3, renovation of the arrivals area and boarding hall). Similar work is underway on Terminal 2A and will be completed in 2025. Airside, new aircraft stands were delivered in summer 2024 near Terminals 2E and 2F ("AGEN" project).
