The Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (French: Aéroport de Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle, IATA: CDG, ICAO: LFPG), also known as Roissy Airport (name of the district), is the biggest airport in France and the second biggest in Europe. Its name derives from Charles de Gaulle (1890-1970), the French Free Army Commander during the Second World War, who founded the French Fifth Republic and was President of France from 1959 to 1969.

The Charles de Gaulle airport is situated in parts of several municipalities 25 km (16 miles)[1] north-east of Paris. The Charles de Gaulle airport is the main hubs for Air France and other long-established airlines (Star Alliance, Oneworld and SkyTeam) as well as the focal point for the low-cost airlines Easyjet, Vueling and Norway Air Shuttle.

Groupe ADP operates the airport under the Paris Aéroport name. By 2017, 69,471,442 and 475,654 flights were handled[3], making it the 10th largest airport in the word and the second largest in Europe (after London Heathrow) in numbers of people. The airport is the 12th best in the rankings for freight transport in the whole globe and the second best in Europe (after Frankfurt Airport) with 2,150,950 tons of freight in 2012.

Marc Houalla has been the airport's manager since 12 February 2018. The Paris Charles de Gaulle airport comprises 32 airports. This airport site with terminal buildings and take-off and landing strips extends over three departments and six municipalities: A decision to build an airport outside the centre of Paris was taken because of the restricted prospects of possible relocation or expropriation and the opportunity to develop the airport further in the near term.

The airport is managed exclusively by Groupe ADP, which also administers directly or implicitly Groupe ADP, which also administers Orlé (south of Paris), Le Bourget (southwest of Charles de Gaulle airport, now used for general and Paris Air Shows), several smaller aerodromes in the Paris outskirts and other international aerodromes.

Aéroport de Paris Nord[5] began its project and erection in 1966. The airport, re-named Charles de Gaulle Airport, was opened on 8 March 1974. The ten-storey round tower of avant-garde architecture, with seven satellites, each equipped with six doors through which solar light can pass through openings, surrounds Terminals 1.

Frutiger type was ordered in 1975 for use at the airport and was displayed on signage throughout the entire complex. Up until 2005, every PA release in Terminals 1 was preceeded by a striking bell, the nickname "Indicatif Roissy", written in 1971 by Bernard Parmegiani. Airline charters and low-cost flights are located in Airport 3 (formerly Airport 9).

CDGVAL skylight railway shuttles connect Terminal 2 with terminals 1/3 and their car parks. See ground traffic below for inter-terminal transfer and transportation to the centre of Paris. Paul Andreu sketched the first model led on from the model of an optic. Consisting of a round basement wing, it accommodates important features such as check-in desks and luggage reclaim facilities.

The seven spacecraft with piers are linked to the main structure by subterranean corridors. With a large roof window in the middle, the main house devotes each storey to a unique use. On the second storey there are stores and eateries, the inter-terminal CDGVAL platform (for Terminals 2 and Paris Center trains) and check-in desks from a recent refurbishment.

This escalator is hung above the courtyard. Term 2 is divided into seven subterminals: Subterminals ranging from 1A to 2G. The terminals 1A to 1F are linked by intermediate terminal, but the 2G is an 800 meter (0.5 mi) away spacecraft shed. The 2G can only be reached by Shuttlebus from the 1, 2- A to 2 F and 3 stations.

CDGVAL inter-terminal shuttles, Paris RER Regional-Express and Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV high-speed TGV are within the Terminals 2 building and between terminals C2 and C2E (on one side) or C2 and C2F (on the other). Terminals has been used for the shooting of the musical movie for the 2 track "Beautiful Day".

They also had themselves photographed in 2F studio for the 2000 release All That You Can't Left Behind work. A part of it broke down near Gate E50 on 23 May 2004, just after the opening of the 2E terminus, and killed four souls. In 2003, after some delay in building, the 2E was opened and Paul Andreu was responsible for its design.

Andrea also sketched Dubai International Airport Contract 3, which crashed during building on September 28, 2004. Prior to this incident, ADP had planned an IPO in 2005 with the new terminals as the main investor magnet. Some of the airport's operations failed and the permanent closure of the airport shortly before the beginning of the season had a serious impact on the airport's overall economic plans.

An ADP decision was taken on 17 March 2005 to demolish and reconstruct all the part of the 2E terminus (the'jetty') from which one section had fallen for some 100 million euro. In the course of the conversion, two transient departures lounge were erected near the terminals, reflecting the 2E pre-cave-in capability.

On March 30, 2008, the airport was fully opened again. Planes at the stalls of the 2F Airport at Charles de Gaulle. The 2G was inaugurated in 2008 and is devoted to Air France and HOP! services in the region and its subsidiaries. Located just eastwards from all our kiosks, this is the only kiosk that can be accessed by shuttles.

The 2G will be used by Schengen air travellers (and therefore has no identity check) and will handle Air France's local and international services, as well as providing a quicker check-in for small aircraft (up to 150 passengers) than in the past, as they can leave their aircraft near the new premises and board mainly on foot or by coach.

There is a line named "navette orange" connecting the 2G within the safety control area with the 2E and 2F units. Satellit 3 was partially opened on 27 June 2007 and fully commissioned in September 2007. Now it is equivalent to the L gate of 2ET. Spacecraft 4, adjoining the S3 and part of the 2E terminus, was formally opened on 28 June 2012.

Now it is equivalent to the gate M of the 2E terminals. All of Air France's activities, which had previously been carried out by the company itself, were transferred to 2E. By October 2012, Air France had completed the closure of 2F's global operation and its full conversion to Schengen, enabling it to transfer all its current 2-D services to Airport Final Airport No. 1.

Furthermore, in April 2013 the Terminal 1B was shut down due to a full refurbishment (all carriers were moved in 2D) and will be upgraded, among them the construction of a second storey fully earmarked for landings. It is 1 km (0.62 mi) from 1 km from Airport 1. There is a 3 km walk between T1 and T3, but the RER and CDGVAL train stations (called "CDG Airport T1 ") are only 300 metres away.

There are no piers in the Terminal 3 and all air travel is by bus to the stalls. Airport passenger stations are operated by a free of charge automatic bus system comprising two routes (CDGVAL and LISA). There is a 8-minute shuttles link the two depots for Airport 1/3 and Airport 2.

The Charles de Gaulle airport is linked to the centre of Paris by the Regional Expresso RER B1 (10.30 ? one way from September 2017[71]). RER B1 only runs in the train yards of Terminals 1 (also for Airport 3 ) and 2 in front of the Gare du Nord. 2. The Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 1 train Station is situated within Roissypôle (an area with hotel and business offices) next to Termins 3 and is the privileged point of entry to Termins 1 and 3; the Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV train stop is situated in the centre of Termins 2C and 2E or of Termins 2D and 2F.

The RER system is run by SNCF and RATP (Transport for Paris) together, but the regional express used to be slow and overcrowded. The CDG Express,[72] which will connect Charles de Gaulle airport with Paris de l'Est train station from 2023 (next to the northern Gare) with special passenger train services; the RER B2 Nord Plus,[73] which upgraded and rationalised RER B2 transport and networks from 2008 to 2013 in the northern part of the northern Garre from 2010 to 2015.

The Terminal 2 contains a train terminal on the LGV Interconnexion Est high-speed line. RATP (Transport for Paris), departing from Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, non-stop to Palais Garnier. The RATP 350 and 351 busses leave from the Roissypôle bus terminal (next to the RER Terminal 1 station).

The Magical Shuttle travels from all three terminal buildings to Disneyland Paris. The Noctilien (night lines) N143 and N140 leave every 30 min. or hourly from Terminal 1 Door D12, Terminal 2F Door 2 and Rossipôle terminal every 30 min. after the last RER B2 at 23:50. Either line will take you to Paris Grand Central Train station.

SNCF' s OUIBUS bus service, a domestic and foreign bus service, has been operating since 17 December 2012 at Charles de Gaulle Airport at Term 3, CDG 1 railway stations to London, Lyon, Lille and Brussels. The Charles de Gaulle airport is directly linked to the A1 motorway, which links Paris and Lille. Orly airport (south of Paris, the other large airport in Paris) and Le Bourget airport (for general air travel and personal jets) are the other two Paris service destinations.

A number of low-cost carriers also promote Beauvais-Tillé airport and Châlons Vatry airport, both 85 km and 165 km from Paris itself, as "Paris" with Paris-Beauvais and Paris-Vatry. The Beauvais airport has no train connection, but there is a 15 day Paris city centre shuttles. A Concorde, Air France flight 4590 from Charles de Gaulle to John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York, plunged into the Les Relais Bleus Hotel in Gonesse on July 25, 2000, causing everyone on the plane and four persons on the floor to be killed.
