Synopsis: In the fast-growing and increasingly competitive airport (transport) industry, Aéroports de Paris is shaping the airport of tomorrow. Increasing air traffic, changing safety requirements and new customer expectations (global, customised, etc.) are the main challenges.

• Passenger experience - Minimise waiting times with new information systems (door-to-door approach). More and more customised services now offered in our terminals
• Operational effectiveness - Enhance the passenger experience, better work conditions, be more competitive and answer environmental issues (utilisation of new technologies, drones and robotics)
• New mobilities - Access to airports and mobility between terminals, for passengers and employees
• The airport city of tomorrow - Bring services of the city into the airport, and the airport into the city
