Groupe ADP main projects undertaken between 2014 and 2019:
- Traffic growth and strengthening hub connectivity: Between 2014 and 2018, the Parisian airports welcomed nearly 12.7 million additional passengers and in 2017, crossed the symbolic threshold of 100 passengers per year. This growth is largely the result of a Route Development policy to attract traffic to Paris, which led last year to the record opening of 68 new routes. European leader in international traffic, the Paris hub also offers the best connections with China.
- Achievement of the CDG Express rail link project: During the last three years, the CDG Express project has reached several key milestones and has now entered an operational phase. The legal framework and the financial scheme of the project have been clarified and defined. The concession contract between the State and the infrastructure manager was signed in February 2019.
- Improvements of hospitality and quality of service for passengers: Such as the deployment of the PARAFE (Rapid Automated Crossing of External Borders) security locking doors for automated border passport control or the redesign of the international commercial areas, major efforts have been made to improve customer hospitality and quality of services at the Paris Airports. Paris-Charles de Gaulle had the strongest growth in the Skytrax worldwide rankings from the 94th to the 30th place in 2019.
- Launch of two new brands with "Groupe ADP" and "Paris Aéroport":
The company has deeply transformed, but its brand architecture didn't change since 2005. If the corporate name remains "Aéroports de Paris SA", a new brands universe emerged in 2016 with, on the one hand, "Groupe ADP", an institutional brand which is exportable worldwide, and, on the other hand, "Paris Aéroport", a general public brand deployed over the Parisian airports to talk to the passengers.
- Transfer of the headquarters at the heart of the Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport: To be closer to its customers, airlines and passengers, the group moved its headquarters from Paris city center to the Roissypole area, located at the heart the Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport platform since 29 March 2017.
- International deployment and building of a global group: International activities were reorganized in 2017 with the creation of ADP International and of a network of regional offices. Groupe ADP also carried out structuring operations by taking "controlling" shares in TAV Airports and AIG, the concessionary firm of Amman Airport in Jordan, two companies that are now fully consolidated. In 2018, Groupe ADP became world leader in airport management with 281.4 million passenger [1] and 25 airports worldwide.
- Compliance with the Connect 2020 plan and preparation of the next Economic Regulation Agreement:In 2016, Groupe ADP implemented a strategic plan called Connect 2020 which involves an unprecedented capital expenditures program to optimize the Parisian aeronautical infrastructures while ensuring increased pricing moderation for airlines, thanks to financial discipline and control of charges. As of today, the Connect 2020 plan has been respected and major facilities have been commissioned on time, such as Orly 3 (junction building of the former southern and western terminals), which embodies the revival of Paris-Orly airport. Other new facilities will follow by the end of 2020 (connection of 2B-2D terminals and terminal 1 satellites fusion at Paris-Charles de Gaulle).
In April 2019, the Groupe ADP also released the Public Consultation Document, This document translates. Groupe ADP’s ambition for the Parisian platforms and the conviction that the quality of the investments it is making to benefit passengers, partners and airlines is the basis for the competitiveness of the Paris area airports.
