Aéroports de Paris, operating under the Groupe ADP umbrella, is the principal airport operator for the Paris metropolitan area, overseeing Charles de Gaulle, Orly and Le Bourget airports. The company is responsible for airport management, passenger services, air traffic coordination, security operations and infrastructure development across its Paris hub. In addition to serving as a gateway to France, Aéroports de Paris handles cargo operations, maintenance support and ground handling services for a broad range of commercial, charter and cargo airlines.
Beyond its core aeronautical activities, Aéroports de Paris has developed substantial non-aeronautical revenues through retail concessions, food and beverage outlets, duty-free shopping, parking facilities and property leasing. The group also offers consulting, technical assistance and digital services to airports worldwide, leveraging its experience in passenger flow management, sustainability initiatives and smart-airport technologies. These ancillary businesses are designed to enhance customer experience and optimize commercial performance within airport terminals.
Established in 1945 as the national airport authority, Aéroports de Paris underwent successive modernizations and partial privatization, culminating in its rebranding to Groupe ADP. Since 2012, Augustin de Romanet has served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, guiding the organization through strategic partnerships and international expansion. The French State remains a majority shareholder, ensuring alignment with national transport policies and regulatory frameworks.
In addition to its Paris operations, Aéroports de Paris holds minority stakes and partnership agreements in airports across Europe, the Middle East, Asia and Latin America. Notable international investments include participations in Istanbul’s TAV Airports, Mexico’s AICM retail business and airport projects in India. Through these global activities, the company aims to export its expertise in airport management and capture growth opportunities in emerging aviation markets.
