Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle airports are preparing to welcome passengers for the festive season with proved sanitary facilities. The Paris Airport teams are mobilized to welcome passengers in the best way possible in the terminals which remain open during the festive season in 2020, which is marked by such a special context.
The sanitary system in place does not mean that passengers should come earlier at the airport: they must therefore present themselves at the times indicated by their airline company (as long as passengers have been able to do their tests before arriving at the airport for destinations that require this test).
However, passengers are advised to contact their airline to find out the details of the trip and the current status of their flight.
Traffic reorganized around open terminals
Paris-Charles de Gaulle: terminals 2E (halls K and L) and 2F are currently open to accommodate all commercial passenger traffic. Terminal 2A closed since December 1, will reopen from December 17.
