FIRST POSITIVE RESULTS OF THE ENERGY EFFICIENCY PLAN

The energy efficiency plan launched in the autumn of 2022, combined with the energy efficiency measures that have been in place for some time now, helped achieve remarkable results in terms of controlling our energy consumption last year (down 7% for electricity and down 31% for heating compared to 2019). The need for energy efficiency is not going anywhere. Groupe ADP therefore intends to maintain these good results over the long term, thanks to the effectiveness of our renewable energy production and the thermal inertia of our buildings. In spring, milder outdoor conditions provide an opportunity to significantly reduce our heating consumption, whilst maintaining a temperature of 19°C in our premises. A new communication will be sent to you in a few weeks’ time in preparation for the summer season with, once again, major challenges in terms of reducing our electricity consumption through the strict control of our air-conditioning temperatures.

TERMINAL 2D FULLY REOPENS
AT PARIS-CHARLES DE GAULLE

After three years of work, the first major phase in the renovation of Terminal 2D has been completed with the delivery of the standard 3 baggage sorting system and its 50 check-in desks, which have been completely refurbished. The 2BD building is now operating at full capacity for the first time, with 100 check-in desks open and the aircraft stands and boarding area operational since June 2021. Various phases of work have been carried out since the end of 2020, some of which were led by the Terminals Division (CDG9) for the boarding lounge facilities and smart technology operations, and ECP (Engineering & Capital Projects) and the Baggage Division (CDGB) for the sorting system. Half of the 2D check-in desks were able to open in the summer of 2022 to accommodate traffic until Terminal 1 opened in December. The newly configured 2D drop-off point is also operational. With the transfer from T1 of Air Canada and Air Algérie, 25 airlines will now operate from the 2BD building.

GROUPE ADP SEMINAR - BORDER POLICE AT PARIS-CHARLES DE GAULLE

On 12 April, the Paris-Charles de Gaulle Terminals Division held an event to discuss and work together with the "border" community for the upcoming summer season in the context of a strong recovery in traffic. A time of sharing in the presence of Edward Arkwright, Deputy CEO of Groupe ADP, Régis Lacote, Managing Director of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, Julien Gentile, Head of Paris Airports for the DPAF (Border Police), and other airport community partners. All stakeholders in the passenger journey were able to present their respective challenges and constraints through round table discussions and collaborative workshops, the aim being to improve fluidity and its real-time management in the border control areas. “Groupe ADP has high expectations in terms of hospitality. The efforts made at the border are beginning to bear fruit. We are going to win this battle and that’s thanks to you”, said Edward Arkwright. “It is through these kinds of collaborative sessions, this freedom of speech and proposal, that we will improve the day-to-day experience of our customers”, concluded Régis Lacote. See you again for the next seminar before the summer.

DECARBONISATION THROUGH SAF TAKES CENTRE STAGE

On 11 April, the first official ENAC Alumni* event, sponsored by Groupe ADP, took place at Paris-Orly. A round table discussion on the theme of sustainable aviation fuels (SAF), the first pillar of decarbonisation which will account for at least 50% of decarbonisation efforts by 2050, was attended by several specialists on the subject. This round table highlighted the links between ENAC and Groupe ADP and shared the challenges faced by the airport industry and the academic world in supporting the future of aviation.
