The airports serving Paris found 92.3% of their 2019 travelers last year, before the health crisis, their manager announced on Tuesday, who thus achieved an annual objective.
Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle (CDG) and Orly welcomed 99.7 million passengers in 2023, an increase of 15.1% over one year, added Groupe ADP in a press release.
Orly, mainly dedicated to short and medium hauls, has exceeded its pre-health crisis activity, at 101.4% of traffic four years ago, while CDG, specialized in long hauls, has remained down to 88.5%.
The ADP group, 50.6% owned by the French state, was targeting passenger traffic for 2023 between 87% and 93% of 2019 levels at CDG and Orly.
With its facilities in the Ile-de-France region, the company manages directly or via partners nearly 30 airport platforms around the world, from Antalya (Turkey) to Santiago de Chile via Almaty and New Delhi.
On this scope, the group also met the objectives announced to the market: 336.4 million passengers passed through its airports, or 98.7% of travelers in 2019. It expected between 95 and 105%.
