New travel habits, air fares, green energy, and many more topics are addressed in the latest report by the Chaire Pégase research institute on “the social acceptability of green innovations in air transport”. The conclusions of this study, carried out with the support of Groupe ADP, were presented on 9 May at the Paris-Charles de Gaulle Environmental and Sustainable Development Resource Centre. They reveal that the significant concerns of French people regarding the environment are not necessarily translated into concrete action when it comes to aviation. For example, only 12% of air passengers feel ashamed when flying. The report also shows that barely a third of French people are aware of the new green technologies on which the aviation industry is relying to reduce its environmental footprint.

How can we recycle impounded vehicles, unclaimed by their owners and good for scrap? The Paris-Charles de Gaulle Networks and Access Division (CDGU) has come up with a solution. Six months ago, the Mobility and Passenger Experience Department entered into a partnership with the “Magic Pièce Auto” end-of-life vehicle centre in Villevaudé, Seine-et-Marne. This company has been certified and recognised for its work to reduce pollution and waste (by 95% per vehicle) through recycling and by selling spare parts. On 9 May alone, some sixty cars were brought in to be “deconstructed”. This approach, which favours both the environment and the circular economy, is part of CDGU's implementation of the “2025 Pioneers for Trust” strategic roadmap .

SORTING ISLANDS AT THE PARIS-ORLY OFFICES

Paris-Orly's goal is to recover and recycle 65% of the airport's waste by 2025 and 80% by 2030. To achieve these objectives, the Technical Division teams have installed sorting islands and explanatory posters in all the administrative areas of Orly 1, 2 and 3 and at the biomass plant. These islands, located in communal areas, will enable the sorting of waste by type, before it is collected by the cleaning service providers (GSF, Atalian) and processed by Paprec. Recoverable packaging (plastics and cans) and bio-waste will be recycled or methanised, and non-reusable waste will be incinerated, thus generating additional value in terms of energy.

NEW SECURITY SCANNERS AT PARIS-ORLY:
CONCLUSIVE TRIALS

Without the need to remove liquids and electronic devices from hand luggage, security controls can become more efficient and less time-consuming at the screening checkpoints. This is the main finding of the trial carried out since last autumn by Groupe ADP at Paris-Orly on cabin baggage. A programme coordinated and led by the Operations Division (DGOS) which, thanks to these state-of-the-art scanners, makes it possible to analyse objects more accurately using 3D imaging and automatically detect explosive materials. The result is a reduction in preparation time, fewer manual searches and an improvement in the overall passenger experience. Following this trial at Paris-Orly, plans are underway to introduce these scanners at Paris-Charles de Gaulle by the end of this year.

The 22nd Dubai Airport Show, one of the airport industry's unmissable events, took place from 9 to 11 May. More than 250 exhibitors presented the latest technological innovations that are helping to “make airports sustainable”. The event was an opportunity for Groupe ADP and TAV Airports to illustrate their international strategy, to discuss One Group and to present the Groupe ADP Airport Services joint offer, designed to help airports commit towards a new airport model. The teams also took advantage of the expo as a chance to meet with current and prospective customers from Central Asia, the Middle East and Africa, and to discover the latest technological innovations related to digitisation, urban mobility and those implemented to decarbonise aviation.

EUROPE CANCELS LUFTHANSA RESCUE PLAN
|
The European Union's justice system has overturned the approval during the pandemic of a €6 billion bailout of Lufthansa by the German government. The impact of this ruling, however, remains uncertain as the aid mechanism for the German airline, which saw the German state acquire a stake in its share capital, has already been implemented.

RYANAIR ORDERS
300 BOEING 737 MAX-10

Irish airline Ryanair has placed a firm order for 150 737 MAX medium-haul aircraft and an option for a further 150. An order valued at $40 billion for delivery between 2027 and 2033. Ryanair hopes to increase the number of passengers carried from 168 million at the end of March 2023 to 300 million per year by March 2034.

SHORTAGE OF AIRCRAFT AND PARTS HINDERS AIRLINES' MOMENTUM
|
Despite the return of passengers and profits, airlines are now facing another difficulty; delays in Airbus and Boeing deliveries, as well as shortages of spare parts. They have already been forced to reduce their flight schedules this summer due to a lack of available aircraft. A frustrating situation that is impacting all corners of the world. The latest example is the Lufthansa Group, which has seen several Airbus A320s and A220s grounded due to a lack of spare parts.

VATRY INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT TO BE OPERATED BY THE CHINESE?
|
Faced with a chronic operating deficit, the Marne department is considering the sale of Vatry Airport. China has put itself forward and is in a position to invest in the airport infrastructure located 150 km from Paris, with a view to “controlling the entire logistics chain”. Commissioned in 2000, Vatry Airport has long been regarded as “Paris' third airport”, attracting both airlines and cargo operators. But its activity has never lived up to expectations in terms of passenger numbers nor cargo.
