PRESENTATION OF THE GROUP 1 MAIN HUBS

Airfields: Incubators of tomorrow’s sustainable aviation

To support the promotion of electric aircraft, Groupe ADP, in partnership with Total Energie, has deployed several charging stations for Pipistrel electric aircraft. This was followed by the "Electric Tour" initiative to promote electric aircraft in the Paris region. This operation has been a real success, introducing this technology at all group airfields with open days offering discovery flights to flying clubs and the general public. At the same time, Groupe ADP is supporting training structures present in AAGs with initiatives to encourage a fleet modernisation strategy: u consideration of a reduction in fees for the quietest aircraft; u experimentation of the distribution of lead-free "SP98" aviation fuel and the provision of Sustainable Aviation Fuel at Paris-Saclay-Versailles in partnership with Daher and Total Energies; u topping up a fund set up by the Île-de-France Region to help equip the training aircraft most used by flying clubs with propellers and silencers; and lastly u support for associative flying club structures, through rent reductions. All these measures help support the necessary transformation of the organisations, particularly associations, that train future pilots and, more broadly, pass on the passion for aeronautics across the country. Some of these enthusiasts will go on to work in the aeronautical, aviation and airport industries.

Groupe ADP is also very attentive to the integration of the aeronautical activity of the AAG into the region and the reduction of the impact of pollution. While 2024 saw a slight decline in light aviation activity – due to unfavourable weather conditions but also training constraints around the period of the Olympic and Paralympic Games – Groupe ADP and users remain committed to reducing noise pollution. Dialogue with non-profits and local authorities is ongoing and continuous work through charters of good conduct (like the one signed in 2022 for the Lognes-Emerainville airfield, and then updated in 2024) makes it possible to implement best practices for pilots, particularly in terms of compliance with flight paths to protect the populations concerned. Groupe ADP's presence has been strengthened by the creation of an airfield manager function. The arrival of a third airfield manager on 1 January 2025 allows for greater regional links and more regular dialogue with all stakeholders. The rise of electric aviation and the development of quieter engines illustrate promising technological advances. As such, Groupe ADP makes its airfields available to promote low carbon and quieter aviation. The presence of several electric training aircraft, experiments on future vertical take-off and landing electric flying machines (VTOLs) and the hosting of innovative SMEs and training centres, attest to Groupe ADP’s desire to include airfields as aviation incubators for tomorrow.
