Airports in France – France Travel Guide Paris Airports Aéroport Roissy-Charles de Gaulle (airport code CDG) Located 30 km northeast of Paris in the suburb of Roissy, this is Paris’ largest airport and has three terminals, which are used by both international and domestic carriers. Those coming from international destinations outside of Europe will likely fly in and out of Charles de Gaulle, as the airport serves as the Paris hub for France’s national airline (Air France) as well as many other major airlines. Charles de Gaulle Airport is connected to Paris by both commuter trains and the RER B3 train, which leaves right from underneath the airport and stops at both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. There is also a bus that runs from CDG to Paris. RATP Bus No 351 links CDG to the eastern side of Paris at Place de la Nation. It takes an hour, comes every 30 mins and costs 3 Paris Métro tickets. If you arrive at CDG after hours you can also take the Noctilien Bus routes 121 and 140, which take passengers from the airport to various major train stations/Métro stops in Paris.

Aéroport de Paris – Orly Paris’ second largest airport, Orly, is the older and smaller of the two major international airports. Orly is located about 18 km south of Paris and is served by many major carriers including Air France. While Orly does have many flights that arrive from overseas destinations, you will be more likely to use Orly if you are flying from France to another European destination rather than if you are departing for a trans-Atlantic flight. Orly is easily accessed from Paris. There are several different public transportation options, including bus service and RER B/Métro. For that line B RER, though, you want to take it to the Antony stop and take the Orlyval shuttle to the airport. This is a more popular route than the RER line C to Pont de Rungis – Aéroport d’Orly, then the shuttle. There is also a RATP bus (183) that runs from Paris to Orly. Tickets are sold on board and costs the same amount as a Métro ticket. The bus runs every 35 mins and takes about an hour.

If you find yourself needing a bus after hours, the Noctilien Bus 31 connects Orly with Gare de Lyon, Gare d’Austerlitz and Place d’Italie in Paris. From those three places, you can get pretty much anywhere.

There are a variety of shuttle services that offer both door to door service or service from the airport to one of Paris’ major train/metro stations. Aéroport de Paris-Beauvais-Tillé This international airport located 80 km from Paris is used by discount airline carrier Ryanair for its European flights, including those between Paris and Dublin, Shannon, and Glasgow. Those flying in on transatlantic flights or flights coming from outside Europe will not fly into Beauvais. Unlike the other Paris airports, Beauvais is not connected to Paris via the RER or public transportation lines. And it’s FAR.

But since most people who use Beauvais Airport are budget conscious, they probably won’t want to take a taxi that costs €110-€150 to get to and from Paris. So, there is an Express Bus shuttle service that costs €17 and picks up passengers from Parking Pershing, located near Porte Maillot Métro stop three hours before RyanAir departures and leaves the airport 20-30 min after each arrival. Other Airports in France Aéroport de Bordeaux (airport code BOD) The Bordeaux airport is located 10 km west of Bordeaux in Merignac and has both domestic and international flights. You can take the public bus 1 from the airport to, from and throughout the city center, or the Jet Bus shuttle from Bordeaux Saint-Jean train station. Aéroport de Lille (airport code LIL) The Lille airport is located just 15 minutes from the city center in Lesquin. It is served by both domestic and international flights. The Lille Airport Shuttle costs €9 round trip, takes about 20 minutes, and leaves about every hour from the Euralille shopping centre, at the bus stop marked Liaison Aéroport.

Aéroport Lyon Saint-Exupéry (airport code LYS) Lyon’s Saint-Exupéry airport (named after the famed French author of The Little Prince) is located 20 km to the east of Lyon and is an important hub for those travelers coming to the French Alps or Provence .

Aéroport Nantes Atlantique (airport code NTE) Nantes Atlantique Airport is located 8 km southwest of Nantes in Bouguenais and is the largest airport in western France.

It is served by both domestic and international carriers and serves as a jumping off point for those exploring Normandy and Brittany . The easiest way to get into the city center from the airport is to take the Navette Tan Air, which drops you off at the train station. Aéroport Nice Côte d’Azur (aiport code NCE) The Nice Côte d’Azur Airport is located 7km from the center of Nice , right along the coast, and is the principal port for passengers going to the French Riviera . It is the third-most important airport in France after Charles de Gaulle and Orly in Paris, and serves many travelers looking to get directly to the French Mediterranean coast. It serviced by both domestic and international carriers. Aéroport de Strasbourg (airport code SXB) The Strasbourg airport is located 10 km west of town and is serviced by both international and domestic carriers. Air France operates flights to and from Strasbourg from Paris-Orly and Nice. There is a shuttle bus from the airport, but it leaves you at a tram stop to find your own way into the city. It’s also not very reliable, as it has infrequent runs and even less on the weekends.

This is one instance where you’re going to have to save up for a taxi to ensure you get to where you’re going with the least amount of hassle. Aéroport de Toulouse – Blagnac (airport code TLS) The Toulouse Airport is located about 7 km from the city center and is served by many major domestic and international air carriers.

For the 17th year in a row, Atlanta operated the busiest passenger airport in the world in 2014, according to the Airports Council International's World Airport Traffic Report, released Monday, August 31. More than 96 million passengers went through Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in 2014, an increase of 1.9% over 2013, according to the report. ATL24: 24 hours in the world's busiest airport Read More Passenger traffic continued to grow around the globe, with the world's airports serving more than 6.7 billion passengers in 2014, an increase of 5.7% over the previous year, according to the report. "Passenger traffic remained resilient in the face of the global uncertainties that beleaguered many economies in 2013 and 2014," said Angela Gittens, ACI's Director General, in a statement. "International tourism, in particular, was irrepressible in 2014 considering the geopolitical risks that have persisted in certain parts of the world, such as Eastern Europe and the Middle East.

The Ebola outbreak also presented significant challenges to the aviation sector." Those challenges didn't stop the international traveler last year, she said. The 5.7% overall global passenger traffic rate "is above the 4.3% average annual growth rate in passenger traffic from 2004 to 2014," she said. Passenger growth around the world Passenger growth was evident among the rest of the world's busiest airports. With more than 86 million passengers last year, Beijing Capital International Airport remained in second place, increasing 2.9% over 2013. That's modest compared to the double-digit growth of previous years. London's Heathrow Airport continued to hold on to third place for another year, with more than 73 million passengers, an increase of 1.4%. Toyko's Haneda Airport was fourth with nearly 73 million passengers, a 5.7% increase over 2013. The airports in fifth, sixth and seventh places in 2013 swapped spots in 2014. Los Angeles International Airport moved up from sixth to fifth, Dubai moved up from seventh to sixth, and Chicago O'Hare International Airport dropped from fifth to seventh.

There were no changes to Paris Charles de Gaulle (eighth place), Dallas/Fort Worth (ninth) and Hong Kong (tenth). Atlanta dominates the United States Atlanta also retained the title of busiest domestic passenger airport in the world, with 85.4 million passengers, followed by Beijing (68.9 million) and Tokyo (62.9 million). Dubai was the busiest airport in the world for international passenger traffic, with 69.9 million passengers. London Heathrow came in second place with 68.1 million and Hong Kong was in third place with 62.9 million. Chicago/Atlanta airport rivalry heats up Though the news was mostly good for Atlanta, the city did lose some bragging rights. Chicago O'Hare took the top spot from Atlanta in the number of takeoffs and landings, officially known as aircraft movements. A spokesman for the Atlanta airport said earlier this year that its carriers are adding more aircraft with higher passenger capacity, which means fewer planes. O'Hare took first place with more than 881,000 movements, followed by Atlanta with more than 868,000 and Los Angeles with more than 708,000.

Rounding out that list were Dallas/Fort Worth, Beijing, Denver, Charlotte, Las Vegas, Houston and London. Airport movements in both Chicago and Atlanta actually decreased compared with 2013. Chicago's movements dropped by 0.2%, and Atlanta's dropped by 4.7%. Hong Kong's airport is still the busiest cargo airport in the world, transporting more than 4.4 million metric tons of cargo in 2014. Memphis, Tennessee, home to FedEx, came in second place with 4.2 million metric tons and Shanghai was third with nearly 3.2 million metric tons. (One metric ton equals 2,205 pounds.) Rounding out the top 10 were cargo airports in Incheon, South Korea; Anchorage, Alaska; Dubai; Louisville, Kentucky; Tokyo (Narita); Frankfurt, Germany; and Taipei, Taiwan. The Airports Council International preliminary traffic report was based on data from 2,200 airports in 160 countries around the world. The rankings didn't shift from those listed in a preliminary report released in May. What's driving the world's busiest airports?

#7, Paris Charles de Gaulle | CAPA - Centre for Aviation What's driving the world's busiest airports? #7, Paris Charles de Gaulle CAPA > Aviation Analysis > What's driving the world's busiest airports? #7, Paris Charles de Gaulle 19-Apr-2011 Tweet © CAPA Paris Charles de Gaulle ( CDG ) is the primary airport serving the French capital and the third, and most recent, to be the city’s principal aviation gateway. Established in 1919, Le Bourget was Paris ’ first airport and now the venue for the world-famous Paris Airshow. In this the seventh in our series of reports on the world's busiest airports, we look at what's driving Paris CDG , utilising the data now available on the CAPA profiles covering some 3,000 airports worldwide. As aviation continued to develop, a second airport, Orly , was opened in 1932 and served the city as its primary airport until 1974, when the facility ceded that role to the newly constructed CDG.

Unlike Orly, CDG was sited a considerable distance from the city in Roissy, with room for expansion which has occurred regularly in the past three decades, making it Europe ’s second busiest. All three airports are managed by Aéroports de Paris ( AdP ). Some interesting SkyTeam traits Air France is the airport’s primary tenant and provides roughly 56% of the total seats offered each week. Interestingly, its sister carrier KLM , exists in the “other” grouping with the two carriers offering 12 flights between CDG and Amsterdam each day. Unlike other alliance partners, AF/KLM operates distinct networks at each airport and is far less focused on inter-alliance cross-feed than can be found at other airports and within other alliances. Similarly, Delta , as the other primary trans-Atlantic carrier in SkyTeam, has a rather small presence at CDG, providing a seat offer that is only about 2% of that of AF. At London Heathrow (LHR), American ’s seat offer is more than 6% of that of its oneworld partner, BA .

Source: Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation and Innovata With relatively low profiles by other alliance partners, SkyTeam is clearly the primary player at CDG, albeit with a much lower concentration than was found at Atlanta , where Delta and its partners provided nearly 80% of the seats. However, the alliance has a much bigger percentage of overall traffic at CDG than oneworld enjoys at London Heathrow (48%). Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport capacity share by alliance (18-Apr-2011 to 24-Apr-2011) Source: Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation and Innovata As with Heathrow, the largest available seat block is within Western Europe . North America similarly takes second place (17 non-stop alliance routes ) but the total seat offer is only 46% of that available at LHR (19 non-stop alliance routes). A similar disparity exists in the Middle East , where London has double the number of seats available each week. However, given the historical links, CDG does provide considerably more seats to North and West Africa than can be found at LHR.

Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport international capacity by region (18-Apr-2011 to 24-Apr-2011) Source: Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation and Innovata It also has a larger domestic network than Heathrow with just over 8% of CDG’s seats operating to points within France . Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport international vs domestic capacity share (18-Apr-2011 to 24-Apr-2011) Source: Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation and Innovata The French authorities have been criticised for the lack of Paris access granted to low-cost operators, though with none at Heathrow, CDG’s 8+% looks less restrictive. The bulk of Paris’ domestic and low-cost traffic is located at Orly where almost 22% of the seats are on LCCs and 42% of the seat offer is domestic, leaving CDG the primary international network gateway.

Paris Charles De Gaulle Airport capacity share by carrier type (18-Apr-2011 to 24-Apr-2011) Source: Centre for Asia Pacific Aviation and Innovata In looking at fares to New York, the recent low for a round-trip economy ticket has been USD722 and the chart peaks on April 23, the day before Easter. The moving average for spring 2010 ranges between just more than USD1000 (13.8 cents per mile) to an April high of nearly USD2100 (30 cents) for the round-trip journey of 7242 miles. The lowest fares are significantly below similar journeys between New York and London, and at the higher end, somewhat exceed the LHR averages. Click here for more fares data to/from Paris CDG . As is true of most trans-Atlantic routes, there is sufficient capacity and competition to ensure that the careful shopper can likely find a reasonable price outside of peak periods. In 2000, CDG was in eighth place globally with 43.6 million passengers, but with an impressive 12.9% growth.

Though having moved only one position and now ranked seventh, at 58 million, it is placed ahead of Dallas and Frankfurt . With adequate land available and a location that provides good connectivity to all of Europe and airlines with a global reach, Paris and Charles de Gaulle are well placed to continue to grow within the global network structure. The expansion of low-cost alternatives is less clear. However, with AirAsia X providing service to Kuala Lumpur from Orly, the city does appear to have high value for new generation carriers as well, and their continued growth is likely in the metro area.

Today we have put together a list for you of the busiest airports in Europe in the year 2014. The data below is sourced individually for each airport and its origin is from national aviation authority statistics.

London Heathrow Airport - UK's London Heathrow is as old as 85 years. This airport has cleared out over 73 million passengers in the year 2014 and offers great dining as well as shopping options. Heathrow is also known from the popular movie “Love actually” and its only downside is that due to its large size the airport may seem unstructured and confusing for some. In addition to that you are always facing a risk of a strike due to the strong position of British labour unions. Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport – Second position is held by France's Charles de Gaulle. Nearly 64 million travellers have passed through the Paris airport in 2014. The name comes from the French general and statesman. Our recommendation is to avoid the CDG (unless you are fluent in French) due to its complicated and difficult navigation, limited options for shopping and dining as well as hard-to-find spots for relaxation. Frankfurt am Main Airport – The third busiest airport in Europe is the German Frankfurt am Main Flughafen, which has welcomed over 59 million passengers in the year 2014. This airport is best known as the main hub of the German airline Lufthansa.

Even though Frankfurt may seem a little more passenger-friendly than Charles de Gaulle, the design and navigation of the airport are still a little below average. Istanbul Atatürk Airport – This main international airport serving Istanbul, Turkey, has cleared out nearly 57 million travellers in the past year. This airport still faces capacity issues as the total number of passengers has doubled in the past five years. The design of the interior is from the 1960's and the navigation may seem a little confusing, however satisfying enough for those travelling to Turkey on vacation. Amsterdam Airport Schiphol – The KLM primary hub has served over 54 million passengers last year and its well-deserved popularity keeps on rising. The options for shopping and dining are countless. You can also find many great lounges for relaxation. Navigation isn’t difficult and the staff is always happy to help with any possible issues. Even though Prague's Václav Havel Airport is not on the top 5 ranking of Europe's Airports, it is still our number 1. Whenever you decide to pass through this airport, don’t forget to order the best Prague airport taxi Sky transfer .

The Busiest Airport in the World - WorldAtlas.com Travel The Busiest Airport in the World With tens of millions served each year, we look at the busiest airports in terms of total passenger traffic worldwide, a list which covers a variety of immense structures across Asia, North America, and Europe. The number and size of runways and terminals in an airport are huge deciding factors in terms of the amount of passenger traffic it receives, with clear examples including Beijing's runway building effort in 2008 or Tokyo's new terminal in 2010 Within a single year, the world’s busiest airport accommodated almost as many passengers as the entire population of the Philippines, the 12th most populous country on the planet. Millions of passengers use air flight as means to discover the trendiest and most remote destinations of the world, making the passenger airline industry lucrative and very competitive. It is critical for each major airline to keep updating their facilities with the latest technologies in order to lure travelers away from their competitors. Below, we have listed the 10 busiest airports in the world.

They have gone above and beyond expectations to attract tens of millions of passengers to their services every year, and they continue to innovate, build, and grow. 10. Hong Kong International Airport - 63.1 Million Passengers Beginning the list at number ten is Hong Kong International Airport. Commonly abbreviated as HKIA, it is located on Chek Lap Kok Island and has been in operation since 1998. The airport is a gateway not only for Hong Kong and China, but also for the whole of Asia to foreign visitors. It has been time and again among the busiest cargo gateways in the world and a key logistical point for OneWorld Alliance, a cargo hub for UPS Airlines. 9. Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport - 63.5 Million Passengers Texas' Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport comes in at number nine on the list of the world's busiest airports. Located in the Southwestern US, the facility is the third busiest in the globe for airplanes movements and positioned ninth by passenger traffic. The airport is deliberately located in the middle of the major economic cities of Fort Worth and Dallas. The facility is fitted with its own police station to ensure top-notch security, and a hospital for medical services.

It is also home to Skylink, the largest high-speed airport train system in the world, which transports passengers around the entirety of the airport at speeds of up to 35 miles per hour. 8. Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport - 63.8 Million Passengers France's Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, commonly referred to as "Roissy Airport," comes in at position eight on our list for highest passenger traffic. Lying on the northern side of Paris, it serves as a major hub for France and the whole of Europe, and it is the largest of all airports on the continent. Named for the man who served as the President of France for the duration of the 1960s, this airport is also the second busiest in Europe in terms of cargo traffic (behind Frankfurt Airport). 7. Chicago O'Hare International Airport - 70.0 Million Passengers The United States takes the eighth place as well, with Chicago O'Hare International Airport. Located on the northwest side of Chicago, Illinois, this airport has been termed as the absolute busiest in terms of total numbers of landings and take-offs, which it manages using a total of eight different runaways.

Originally called Orchard Field Airport, it was renamed in 1949 in honor of the American navy's first ever flying ace, Edward O'Hare, who received a medal of honor and was killed in action during World War II. 6. Dubai International Airport - 70.5 Million Passengers Sixth in line is the United Arab Emirates' Dubai International Airport, which serves as the major airport for both Dubai and the entirety of the UAE. The airport is the world's busiest airport in regards to international passenger traffic, the sixth busiest by total passenger traffic, and the sixth busiest in terms of cargo traffic. In 2014 alone, the facility catered to over 70 million passengers and 2 million tons of cargo, and recorded 367,339 airplane movements. The success and growth of this airport is closely tied to its strategic positioning in the economically important Al-Garhoud locality, exactly 2.5 nautical miles east of Dubai, and covering 2,900 hectares of land. The airport also houses Dubai's major international airlines. 5.

Los Angeles International Airport - 70.7 Million Passengers The United States' Los Angeles International Airport follows suit as the number five busiest airport in the world, having served over 70 million passengers in 2014. The airport covers 692 domestic flight patterns to 85 different cities across the US, as well as 928 foreign flight routes to over 60 cities in 34 countries all over the world. Currently, there is a multi-billion-dollar program aimed to upgrade the facility, which will culminate in the New Tom Bradley International Terminal Project. This endeavor is slated to include new gates capable of accommodating the latest generations of aircraft. 4. Tokyo Haneda International Airport - 72.8 Million Passengers In fourth place is Japan's Tokyo Haneda Airport, commonly referenced to as the Tokyo International Airport. Serving the greater Tokyo vicinity, it is also home to Japan Airlines, commonly known as Terminal One, and All Nippon Airways, (or Terminal Two), both of which are principle domestic airlines. Yearly, Haneda caters to around 72 million domestic and international passengers.

The consistent recent growth of Haneda has been closely tied to the opening of a devoted international terminal in 2010 and the completion of a fourth runaway which accordingly permits long-haul takeoffs even at night. The commerce policies of the government of Japan have also been critical in encouraging passengers to rely on the airline, especially in regards to attracting foreigners on business trips. 3. London Heathrow Airport - 73.4 Million Passengers The United Kingdom's London Heathrow Airport is third largest airport in the world, the largest airfield in the whole of the United Kingdom and the busiest on the European continent. In 2014, the airport recorded a 1.4% passenger increase, serving over 73 million people. The airport's location is among the key features attributing to its rapid growth, in that it lies exactly twelve nautical miles from the west side of bustling London. The airfield a has a total surface covering 12.14 square kilometers. Over 90 airlines scheduled to land in 170 destinations worldwide use Heathrow Airport, making it a hub for airlines around the world. Besides this, the airfield has a total of 4 passenger terminals plus another terminal for cargo planes. 2.

Beijing Capital International Airport - 86.1 Million Passengers The second most active airfield is China's Beijing Capital International Airport. It is the main focal point of Air China, the People's Republic of China's flagship carrier wing, carrying passengers to more than 120 destinations. The fact that China Southern Airlines and Hainan Airlines employ the airdrome as their core as well consequently enlarges its traffic even further still. In preparation for Beijing's hosting of the Olympics in 2008, a third terminal was opened, the scope of which is second in size only to Dubai International Airport's Terminal Three. Beijing Capital International Airport has been second in position since 2010, registering over six hundred thousand take offs and landings in 2012, with this figure not including cargo planes. Today, the airport caters to on average over 86 million passengers every year. 1.

Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport - 96.2 Million Passengers The United States is home to the busiest airport on the planet thanks to Georgia's Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, which boasts roughly 250,000 commuters partaking in 2,500 departures and arrivals every single day. Though the city of Atlanta, in which the airport is situated, has nowhere near the population of such cities as London, Beijing, or New York City, this airport has nonetheless topped lists of the world's busiest airfields ever since 1998. The airport now serves an average total of over 96 million passengers yearly. Perhaps among the chief reasons for these immense numbers is the fact that the airport has hosted the headquarters of the world's busiest airline group for passenger traffic, Delta Air Lines and its subsidiaries, since 1941. Additionally, Hartsfield-Jackson is located within just a two-hour flight away from more than 80% of the United States populace, making the airport an ideal entry point or layover destination.
