Transfer passengers in terminals 2E and 2F can now benefit
from new direct, simpler and quicker connection routes to their
departure lounges.
"The new Paris-Charles de Gaulle connection routes strengthen
the competitive potential of Europe's leading hub. Aéroports de
Paris has invested almost 100 million euros in this project. This
new structure will allow almost ten thousand passengers, transiting
through Paris-Charles de Gaulle daily, to save time and, above all,
enjoy a streamlined connection", says Franck Goldnadel, Managing
Director of Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport.
All transfer passengers in Terminals 2E and 2F (whether or not
arriving from a country in the Schengen area) will now follow the
new pedestrian paths which lead directly to their new departure
gate, without having to venture into the public areas.
Furthermore, passengers arriving from a country in the Schengen
area and departing for an international destination will undergo no
further security checks. This will result in an estimated average
gain of ten minutes on the previous route.
How does it work?Let us take the example of a passenger
arriving from Lisbon and departing for Shanghai via Paris-Charles
de Gaulle.The passenger goes through the screening checkpoints in
Lisbon and arrives at Terminal 2F (Schengen terminal). From
Terminal 2F, they take a direct pedestrian route to Terminal 2E
(international terminal). It is no longer necessary to pass through
the public area and undergo more security checks.
This system marks the final completion of the substantial
transformation of the Paris-Charles de Gaulle hub that began in
2012 with opening of Hall M last June, followed by the location of
flights operated by Air France and its Skyteam partners in
Terminals E and F in October.
