2025, a defining year
Interview with Philippe Pascal,
Chairman and CEO
The year 2025 marked a defining moment for our teams, setting the business on a bold new path underpinned by a fresh strategic vision.
We operate in an increasingly competitive landscape: global rivalry between airports is intensifying, with our competitors investing heavily and evolving at an unprecedented pace. Investing in Paris is therefore essential — to ensure airlines can expand and stay competitive as well as to safeguard the future of our airports, strategic assets that are crucial to France’s sovereignty. In 2025, I set out to establish a new method, a renewed approach and the foundations of a revitalized corporate culture.
Our new method places dialogue with airlines, our key partners, at the heart of shaping the future of Paris-Charles de Gaulle through the CDG&Vous consultation. Furthermore, Connect France, the action-driven partnership forged with Air France-KLM in June 2025, enables us to unite our efforts in enhancing the competitiveness of the Paris-Charles de Gaulle hub. Our new approach involves viewing future challenges through the lens of competition. To meet these challenges head-on, we have embarked on an unprecedented investment program in Paris, committing €8.4 billion over eight years, through our economic regulation agreement for 2027-2034.
Finally, the first pillars of our renewed corporate culture have been established through an agreement signed by three representative trade unions to transform our remuneration system — making it clearer and more attractive, with opportunities for wage progression.
Contributing to something greater than ourselves is both a tremendous responsibility and an inspiring driving force, whether in Paris or across our global network.
