Geography

Charles de Gaulle Airport extends over 32.38 km² (12.5 square miles) of land. The choice of this vast area was made based on the limited number of potential relocations and expropriations and the possibility to further expand the airport in the future. It straddles three départements and six communes:

Mehran Karimi Nasseri

On 26 August 1988 Mehran Karimi Nasseri found himself held at Charles de Gaulle airport by immigration. He claimed he was a refugee, but had had his refugee papers stolen. After years of bureaucratic wrangling, it was concluded that Nasseri had entered the airport legally and could not be expelled from its walls; but since he had no papers, there was no country to deport him to either, leaving him in residential limbo. Nasseri continued to live within the confines of the airport until 2006, even though French authorities had since made it possible for him to leave if he so wished . He was the inspiration for the 2004 film The Terminal

Collapse of Terminal 2E

Terminal 2E, with a daring design and wide open spaces, was CDG's newest addition. On 23 May 2004, not long after its inauguration, a portion of Terminal 2E's ceiling collapsed early in the day, near Gate E50, killing four people. The Chinese

 in 2005 with the new terminal as a major attraction for investors. The partial collapse and indefinite closing of the terminal just before the beginning of summer seriously hurt the airport's business plan.

In February 2005, the results from the administrative inquiry were published. The experts pointed out that there was no single fault, but rather a number of causes for the collapse, in a design that had little margin for safety. The enquiry found the concrete vaulted roof was not resilient enough and had been pierced by metallic pillars, and some openings weakened the structure. Sources close to the enquiry also disclosed that the whole building chain had worked as close to the limits as possible, so as to reduce costs. Paul Andreu denounced the building companies for having not correctly prepared the reinforced concrete.

On 17 March 2005 ADP decided to tear down and rebuild the whole part of Terminal 2E (the "jetty") of which a section had collapsed, at a cost of approximately €100 million . The reconstruction will replace the innovative concrete tube style of the jetty with a more traditional steel and glass structure. During reconstruction, two temporary departure lounges have been constructed in the vicinity of the terminal that replicate the capacity of 2E before the collapse. The terminal reopened completely on 30 March 2008.

Terminals

Charles de Gaulle International Airport has three terminals. Terminal 1 is the oldest. Terminal 2 was built for Air France, but now hosts other airlines. The third terminal (T3, formerly T9) hosts charter and low cost airlines.

Terminal 1 has a single main building for check-in and baggage reclaim with 7 satellites for arrivals and departures. Each satellite can handle about 5 aircraft at any given time. Underground walkways with moving sidewalks connect the satellites to the main building. Terminal 1 was built to an avant-garde design which is maintained today even though interior sections of the building have been face lifted and modernized. The RER station for Terminal 1 is quite distant from Terminal 1 (not so far from terminal 3), and terminal 1 must be reached using the free CDGVAL

); previously, shuttle buses were used.

Terminal 2 today consists of multiple terminals joined together by at ground or below ground passageways. The seven terminals consist of 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D, 2E, 2F and 2G. 2G is located 1 km away from the terminals 2A-2F, and a bus ride is needed for transfer. Terminal 2 also has an RER

 station underneath in the between the 2C-2F halls.

Terminal 3 is a terminal with one hall. On the map it is located 1 km from terminal 1, but along public roads it is 3 km. It has walking distance (300 m or so) to the RER and CDGVAL trains.

Started on 4 April 2007, CDGVAL links all the three terminals (except hall 2G), although there is only a single station for Terminal 2, near the rail station, so the walk distance to the more distant halls 2A-2B is more than 500 m (and both CDGVAL and bus is needed to reach 2G from 1).

In 2006, the French government expressed the wish to designate certain terminals of French airports as "high-security" terminals that would handle flights to sensitive locations (with high security requirements), such as the US and Israel

 moved most of its flights to the US to 2E.

Expansion plans 2007-2012

Apart from the reconstruction of Terminal 2E, two major terminal extensions are underway as of 2008.

The completion of giant 750-m long Satellite 3 (or S3) to the immediate East of Terminals 2E and 2F provides further jetways for large capacity airliners, and specifically the Airbus A380

. Check-in and baggage handling are provided by the existing infrastructure in Terminals 2E and 2F. Satellite 3, which construction could be seen by arriving passengers at Terminals 2E and 2F, was opened in part on 27 June 2007 and fully operational in September 2007. A similar in size and scope Satellite 4 is planned to open in 2012 to provide additional capacity, again relying on the brand new, 100% automated check-in and baggage handling infrastructure of 2E and 2F. This facility, built in collaboration with Air France-KLM, is so large (it's the second largest airline terminal in Europe after Madrid Barajas' T4 and before BA T5 at London Heathrow) it needed to open in phases in order to be fully operational by the end of Summer 2007. The high tech, futuristic concrete-steel-and-glass building provides relief to millions of passengers who do not have to endure anymore annoying and lengthy bus rides to board and disembark from flights. The new S3 terminal also means faster transfer times to connecting flights and fewer lost bags.

Construction began on a new terminal building, Terminal 2G, to the east of the S3 construction site in September 2006 with the first stone of the new building itself laid in March 2007. This terminal was in operation at least in March 2009. It is connected to the Terminal 2 complex by shuttle buses and eventually an extension of the CDGVAL shuttle train service. 2G is a Schengen terminal (and thus has no passport control) and handles Air France regional and European traffic and provide small capacity planes (up to 150 passengers) with a faster turn-around time than is currently possible by enabling them to park close to the new terminal building and boarding passengers primarily by bus, or walk on the ground. Its bus connection is outside the security area, and a security check is needed also for transfer passengers. At least 20 minutes must be planned as time when getting from another terminal to the 2G departure area.

Future use of Terminal 2 by Air France constantly evolves thanks to the development and opening of the S3 complex and the new 2G section of Terminal 2. On 30 March 2008 the reopening of Terminal2E was completed allowing maximum passenger activity and full airport services. Air France has begun to shift traffic to use at full capacity Terminals 2C, 2D, 2E and 2F and eventually shall cease operations from terminals 2A and 2B which will continue to be used by other carriers.

Beware that Terminal 3 is not really connected and is an outside 5+ mninute walk form the tram station. Also, the information booth may direct people to terminal 2 for certain airlines that are actually serviced by terminal 3 so leave time for this. In addition, in each of the terminals, they only show the flights in the that terminal so you will have no idea what other flights are in the other terminals unless you actually go to their displays.
