1 PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP MAIN HUBS
1.3.1.3 PARIS-LE BOURGET
Description of the airport Located 7 kilometres north of Paris and covering 553 hectares, Paris-Le Bourget airport is the leading business airport in Europe. Thanks to its proximity to the main Paris Public 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 AFMAE campus (maintenance and commercial professions), the company Flight Safety (Pilots) and the lycée aéronautique du Blanc Mesnil aviation school. The companies located on the site create close to 3,500 direct jobs (more than 90% permanent contracts) and nearly 10,000 indirect jobs in operations, maintenance, services and even culture, with the Musée de l’Air et de l’Espace, the Gagosian Art Gallery, as well as a centre for the conservation of works of art. After a very atypical year in 2022, which benefited from a post-Covid rebound effect with 63,780 movements, activity in 2024 was down to around 57,000 movements.
Although the economic difficulties caused by the health crisis have forced Groupe ADP to review its investment programme, major projects have nevertheless been undertaken to accelerate decarbonisation, ensure the maintenance of the portfolio, and modernise the airport platform for the coming years: u 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; u the launch of work to connect the Dugny heating network through geothermal energy, which, from 2025, will make it possible to supply the various companies within the platform and reduce the airport’s carbon footprint by nearly 2,500 tonnes; u the opening of new services for the airport community such as the inter-company restaurant and IndiaPark; u the embellishment of the platform with the cladding of dilapidated buildings and numerous interventions to improve the visual appearance of the airport airside as well as city side. Lastly, the Paris-Le Bourget hub is an important hub of the Group’s real estate activity and a significant portion of the real estate revenue of Paris-Le Bourget airport comes from aeronautical activities, including training and maintenance, and from diversification real estate.
