Groupe ADP 2027-2034 Economic Regulation Agreement
(ERA) proposal:
A proposal to successfully transform Paris airports
and enhance their global competitiveness

CONTEXT AND KEY ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL
______________________________



◆ Groupe ADP1, like the entire French aviation sector, is currently facing urgent and
demanding challenges: successfully decarbonising the sector, tackling increased
competition between hubs against a backdrop of regulatory and fiscal pressure in
France, continuing to develop and support traffic growth, albeit more moderate, and
increasing the attractiveness and distinctiveness of its hubs compared to its competitors.

◆ With an unprecedented €8.4 billion investment programme2, Groupe ADP intends to play
a key role in transforming the sector. Its core mission is to invest and grow with a long-term
vision, while taking responsibility for preparing for the future and creating value for all.

◆ Groupe ADP is therefore proposing an industrial project based on an acceptable
approach to development, one which is more efficient, more modular and more
progressive, while also strengthening the competitiveness of the Paris airport market.

◆ The project is demanding, with targeted developments phased over time, requiring eight
years to achieve full success. To enable the proposed investments to be made, Groupe
ADP is proposing to enter into an Economic Regulation Agreement (ERA), covering the
2027-2034 period, to provide visibility and stability for all stakeholders.

I- An ambitious investment plan that is both gradual
and responsible

a- New challenges to be tackled through investments


France's aviation industry is facing a host of challenges.

◆ A successful ecological transition is needed to guarantee the acceptability and future
of aviation activities. Groupe ADP intends to continue playing a driving and leading role
for all its partners.
→ The need to invest in accelerating the environmental transition of airport operations
and access.


◆ A loss of competitiveness in the Paris aviation sector amid growing international
competition. The Paris-Charles de Gaulle hub posted a 10-point decline in connecting
traffic in 2023 compared with 2019 and now ranks 7th worldwide in terms of connectivity
(4th in 2019), behind hubs in the Middle East. The competitiveness of Paris-Charles de
Gaulle is also being undermined by rising costs linked to inflation and increased sectoral
taxation.
→ The need to invest to remain competitive, to support airline performance (punctuality,
reliability, etc.), and to improve service quality so that Paris-Charles de Gaulle remains
one of the top 10 airports in the world.


◆ Moderate growth in traffic that is increasingly international. Groupe ADP expects air
passenger traffic in Paris to grow by an average of 1.6% per year between 2026 and 2034
(compared with 2.3% per year between 2005 and 2019). This downturn mainly reflects the
increase in ticket prices, resulting from the cost of using more sustainable aviation fuels
and higher taxes applicable to the aviation sector. International traffic, which creates
more value, is expected to grow by an average of 2.7% per year over the period and
should account for 56% of traffic at Paris airports in 2034, compared with 51% in 2019.
→ The need to invest wisely in capacity development, while meeting airlines' needs, in
particular for international traffic.


◆ Infrastructure modernisation to enhance performance, even while terminals are
becoming increasingly obsolete, and comply with new regulatory requirements. The
terminals must be upgraded to accommodate new security control technologies, such
as new scanners at security checkpoints, and to fully implement the European Entry/Exit
System (EES). This modernisation will enhance operational performance, optimise
operating costs and ensure a high level of service quality.
→ The need to invest in the modernisation of airport assets to ensure their robustness, and
compliance with new European standards and equipment reliability.

In this context, an Economic Regulation Agreement is the most appropriate framework for
financing the industrial project, while also providing visibility for all stakeholders: for Groupe ADP,
by securing its investments and the fair return on capital employed; for airlines, by sharing the
conditions for efficient and predictable development; for the regions, by providing concrete
examples of growth, in the form of jobs, and respect for the environment.




Our responsibility:
investing to promote the country's
economic momentum and attractiveness

__________________________


Paris airports play an essential role in the country:

◆ The gateway to France and its capital region
◆ 11% of the value of international trade passes through Paris-Charles de Gaulle
to 119 connected countries
◆ Paris airports currently account for 120,000 jobs
◆ By 2035: 13,000 new direct and indirect jobs created at the two Paris airports
(excluding construction jobs)

b- An intentionally efficient and progressive industrial project to support capacity
requirements


The industrial project is the fruit of two voluntary public consultations, Paris-Orly 2035 and
CDG&Vous, initiated by Groupe ADP in 2024 and 2025, which involved all stakeholders: airlines,
partners and public and local authorities.

This proposal confirms the new approach to development adopted during the consultations:
modular and gradual development, optimisation of existing infrastructure before deploying new
infrastructures, capacity creation keeping pace with traffic momentum without outpacing it.
This approach guarantees the acceptability of the industrial project, which cannot be carried
out without various environmental authorisations.

These choices also make the project particularly demanding, justifying its eight-year timeframe.
Most of the proposed developments will be carried out on existing infrastructure, meaning that
each project will have to be phased in such a way as to limit any disruption to airport operations.
This constraint extends the overall duration of the works and increases their complexity.

The eight-year timeframe enables coordination of complex, interconnected projects, subject to
environmental authorisations. For Paris-Charles de Gaulle, this period covers the entire phase of
densifying existing infrastructure and creating new infrastructure to the east of the airport.

The industrial project is being rolled out in three phases, corresponding to three objectives, in
order to create an additional capacity of 18 million passengers across the two Paris airports:


Improving the flow and streamlining passenger journeys (2027-2030)
The first phase aims at making passenger journeys smoother, by increasing
capacity at border control areas, rolling out the latest generation of technology
for security checks, redesigning the busiest areas and streamlining walkways.

Major developments:
 Border areas of Terminals 1 and 2E at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Orly 4 at
Paris-Orly.



Densifying and optimising existing infrastructures (2030-2032)
The second phase focuses on densifying and optimising existing infrastructure to
help boost airline performance, and involves increasing terminal capacity - check-
in counters, security checkpoints, boarding facilities and baggage delivery. This
phase also includes targeted airside extensions, by optimising and extending
several aircraft aprons and transforming aircraft stands that are currently operated
remotely into contact stands. Finally, the modernisation of baggage sorting
systems and the increase in baggage storage capacity at Paris-Charles de Gaulle
will enhance operational efficiency and support growth.

Major developments:
 Densifying the number of security and baggage delivery areas in Terminal 3,
and creating a new Schengen and international boarding lounge.

Page 7 sur 13
 Creating the first part of the new satellite to the east of Paris-Charles de Gaulle,
a new 28,000 sq.m. international boarding lounge, and extending the LISA
shuttle to link it.
 Pooling the Orly 1A and 1B security checkpoints and expanding the Orly 1B
boarding lounge.



Creating new infrastructure and developing intermodality (2032/2034)
The third phase consists of creating new infrastructure to offer new contact
boarding capacity, improve the experience for connecting passengers at Paris-
Charles de Gaulle and facilitate air-rail journeys. This will mean building new
boarding lounges, simplifying and modernising routes between train stations and
terminals, and improving connectivity with the surrounding area.

Major developments:
 Creating the second part of the new satellite to the east of Paris-Charles de
Gaulle, following the demolition of Terminal 2G.
 Implementing a new connecting train (airport people mover), located after
border control checkpoints, providing an efficient link throughout the entire
hub.
 Creating a new intermodal hall at the CDG2 train-station to improve air-rail
connections and create new aircraft check-in capacity.
 At Orly, creation of a new boarding lounge connected to Orly 2 by a
skybridge, the first of its kind in France.

c- A project that benefits airlines, passengers and the entire airport ecosystem


The proposed Economic Regulation Agreement creates value for all stakeholders.

For airlines, rapid and measurable operational and economic gains:

◆ Increased capacity

◆ Improved performance of existing facilities

◆ Increase in the number of aircraft at contact stands, with direct boarding via an
airbridge

◆ Decrease in incidents due to obsolete infrastructure



 Smoother, more timely and more efficient operations
 Prospects for growth and winning back market share
 Over €550 million in cumulative gains for airlines over the term of the Agreement.


These gains represent the strong commitments made by Groupe ADP in terms of service quality:

◆ Equipment availability

◆ Passenger waiting time at security checkpoints

◆ Customer satisfaction


For passengers, the investments will optimise the fluidity of passenger journeys, enhance the
comfort of our facilities and improve accessibility for people with disabilities, which leads to
improved service quality and attractiveness making Paris airports the preferred choice for
passengers.

For the regions, with almost €1 billion of investment per year, economic and employment
momentum will be strong: 13,000 new jobs to be created by 2035 at the two Paris airports
(excluding construction jobs)1.

II- Seeking the fairest economic balance
for all stakeholders

a- For Groupe ADP: a fair return on capital employed


The proposed industrial project involves significant investments, which are essential to meet the
new operational, environmental and regulatory standards, and to maintain the attractiveness
of Paris airports in a highly competitive international environment.

Amounting to €8.4 billion1, the investment programme favours the densification, modularity and
optimisation of existing infrastructure, as this approach limits execution risks and enables a more
gradual allocation of capital.

In accordance with the legislative framework, i.e., articles L. 6325-2 and L. 6327-3 of the French
Transport Code, Groupe ADP’s economic proposal aims at achieving a fair return on capital
employed for the regulated scope. The proposed economic trajectory ensures convergence,
assessed on average over the term of the Agreement, between the return on capital employed
for the regulated scope (regulated ROCE) and the weighted average cost of capital in the
same scope (regulated WACC). Calculated in accordance with French Transport Regulatory
Authority (Autorité de Régulation des Transports – ART) guidelines and taking into account the
specific features of Groupe ADP's business model and draft Agreement, the regulated WACC is
estimated at 5.9%.

The economic trajectory adopted by Groupe ADP reflects its financial discipline, which is
essential in order to balance:

◆ an ambitious investment programme;

◆ a moderate average increase in airport charges over the term of the Agreement;

◆ the preservation of value for Groupe ADP, as regulation gives the right to a fair return on
capital employed for the regulated scope.


This trajectory implies substantial efforts to improve performance and control costs despite
strong pressure on operating costs.

Without corrective action, the mechanical growth in costs - driven by the increase in traffic, the
delivery of new capacity, ageing infrastructure and the electrification of operations - would
have led to an annual increase of around 2.4 percentage points above the harmonised index
of consumer prices.
Groupe ADP is therefore rolling out a savings plan of around €130 million between now and 2034,
which will make it possible to contain the increase in regulated expenses, as an annual average,
to around 1.2 points above the harmonised index of consumer prices.

This will mainly be achieved through purchasing performance and structural cost control, as well
as a gradual increase in the workforce, limited to almost 3% over the duration of the Agreement


1 In constant euros.
Page 10 sur 13
- compared with a 14% increase in traffic over the period - and through controlling the average
salary level, thanks in particular to a significant generational renewal.

In total, these efforts will reduce the cost per additional passenger arriving at Paris airports by
30%, excluding inflation, by 2034, compared with 2026, thereby supporting a more efficient and
competitive business model that will benefit the entire ecosystem.



b- For airlines: investments that boost competitiveness combined with a proportional
airport charges policy


The airport charges applied by Groupe ADP have been rising steadily, moderately, and
smoothly for many years, providing transparency for all stakeholders.

Over the 2009-2024 period, Paris airports had, on average, the lowest and most regular fee
increase compared with comparable European airports, including Amsterdam-Schiphol,
Frankfurt, London-Heathrow and Madrid.

For the 2027-2034 period, Aéroports de Paris is proposing an average annual increase in airport
charges equal to the harmonised index of consumer prices of +2.6 points. This fee trajectory,
which is consistent with the ambitious level of investment, will preserve the competitiveness of
Paris airports by keeping airport charge levels at the lower end of the range applied at
comparable airports.

The trajectory is accompanied by a renewed fee structure to better support international and
overseas traffic and encourage practices that are more conscious of the environment and local
residents.

The changes to the fee structure have three objectives: to maintain the competitiveness of Paris
airports and modernise the fee structure; to optimise infrastructure use and to reduce the
environmental impact of the Group’s activity and promote regional cohesion.

In order to maintain the competitiveness of Paris airports versus other hubs, in particular for the
international segment, and to modernise the fee structure, the following is proposed:

◆ a reduction in the airport charges gap between "Mainland France/Schengen" and
"International" fees: the ratio of the difference in fees between these routes, currently set
at x2.5, will gradually decrease to x2.0 by 2030, to the benefit of international travel;

◆ 40% reduction in connecting passenger fees maintained;

◆ in the first year of the Agreement, inclusion in parking fees of aircraft stand power supply
(400 Hz/50 Hz) service costs, and then of preconditioned air unit service costs, once the
equipment has been fully deployed.



The following is proposed for optimising infrastructure use:

◆ an increase in the difference in fees for a turnaround in over 50 minutes, compared to
under 50 minutes;

Page 11 sur 13
◆ an annual discount on passenger fees for airlines with load factors higher than the
average for the previous year.

To reduce the environmental impact of the Group’s activity and promote regional cohesion, the
following is proposed:

◆ inclusion in landing fees of environmental adjustment costs to take account of particles
and nitrogen oxide emissions, coupled with an incentive to use sustainable aviation
fuels;

◆ a gradual increase in the fee differential between the least noisy aircraft and the rest;

◆ alignment of the fee applied to French overseas destinations and regions with the fee
applicable to mainland France, thereby contributing to regional cohesion.



c- Balanced risk-sharing in the event of unforeseen events

Groupe ADP’s proposal provides for four adjustment factors to ensure a balanced sharing of
risks in the event of economic or operational contingencies.

◆ The passenger traffic adjustment factor is designed to adjust the annual cap on fee
increases when actual revenue from the airport fund differs from forecast revenue.

◆ The service quality adjustment factor is designed to adjust the annual fee increase cap
in line with Groupe ADP’s service quality commitments.

◆ The investments adjustment factor is designed to adjust the annual fee increase cap
according to the actual completion of the investment programme as a whole and the
achievement of milestones for the delivery of major infrastructure.

◆ The regulatory adjustment factor is designed to ensure fair compensation for the
economic impact of new legislative, regulatory or administrative obligations (e.g.,
environmental, tax, etc.) arising after the start of the Agreement.
