WHAT ARE AÉROPORTS DE PARIS’ MAIN PROPOSALS FOR THE NEXT ECONOMIC REGULATION AGREEMENT? The air travel sector is one of the strengths of the French economy and of the Paris region. We must do everything we can to support and develop this sector, improve its competitiveness and respond to passengers’ new demands, while converting its growth into business and employment opportunities for the Île-de-France region (the region that includes Greater Paris) for the years to come. Every additional million passengers in Paris help create 4,500 jobs and inject vitality into the entire French economy. But the changes underway exacerbate the competition between airlines and between major cities and their airports, who are all trying to capture that global growth. In this context, the 2016-20 Economic Regulation Agreement should constitute a way of winning new business and creating value for the entire sector. We have left no stone unturned in ensuring that this proposal is consistent, efficient and fair for all market participants. The proposed €3.1 billion investment programme has been developed to correspond as closely as possible to capacity, safety and quality requirements. The proposed rate structure has been overhauled so as to encourage the development of international and connecting flight traffic. Aéroports de Paris is committing to an unprecedented increase in productivity so as to reduce the rate increases airlines will be asked to bear. These proposals reflect the confidence we have in our business model. We are confident it will help us to attract new air traffic, create value and boost growth so as to constantly adapt to changes in our environment.
