Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG) revised upwards the level of traffic it expects to handle for the full year, but will still fall short of 2019 levels.
CDG operator Groupe ADP said it now expects the airport’s traffic levels to reach between 72% and 82% of 2019 levels for the full-year 2022, up from prior guidance of CDG handling between 65% and 75% of 2019 traffic levels this year.
The revised guidance was revealed in ADP’s report of CDG traffic in June, for which the airport handled 78.8% of June 2019 traffic levels. But the company noted CDG handled 5.3 million more passengers in June 2022 versus June 2021, moving to 8.1 million passengers handled last month.
Paris Orly (ORY), also managed by ADP, handled 2.7 million passengers in June, up 1.5 million passengers over June 2021. ORY operated at 89.6% of June 2019 traffic levels in June 2022.
Including Orly, the two Paris airports are now expected to handle full-year 2022 combined traffic that reaches between 74% and 84% of 2019 levels, up from prior guidance of between 70% and 80% of 2019 levels.
