What are you looking for?
Since the outbreak of the Covid-19, Paris Aéroport staff is on duty everyday to welcome, inform and give orientation to all our valued customers.
Sanitary measures: specific informations
Several exceptional measures have been adopted at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly to protect you and guarantee you a safe trip. To consult our sanitary measures click here.
Wearing a mask all time
In conformity with the health recommendations of the French authorities, wearing a mask is compulsory inside and outside our terminals, and on board aircraft.
Surgical masks are the only masks accepted on the planes (textile masks are consequently not allowed). In case you forget, you may obtain them at the pharmacies at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly.
Temperature reading
On departure and arrival, Paris Aéroport and the airlines set up temperature-taking systems in order to limit the spread of Covid-19.
On departure, airlines may need to take your temperature before boarding flights to some destinations. If this happens, passengers with a temperature above 38°C may be boarding denied.
On arrival, Paris Aéroport uses thermal cameras to take your temperature in the baggage delivery room. If your temperature exceeds 38°C, you will be asked to remove any doubts using a non-contact thermometer. If the temperature is confirmed, you will be offered medical treatment - during which a doctor may, if necessary, suggest that you carry out a RT-PCR or Covid-19 antigen test.
Wearing a mask, using a hydro-alcoholic gel, greet one another without physical contact, taking your temperature: Paris Aéroport has put in place measures to ensure that you are travelling in complete safety.
Access conditions to airports
Please note, from 30 October 2020 new lockdown measures are established in metropolitan France and Martinique.
You may not travel between different parts of France.
If you have to travel from France, you must have a proof of travel (plane ticket or train ticket) and the official travel authorisation downloadable from the French Ministry of the Interior website. For all business travels, a document from your employer is also required. Please note that any violation of travel bans is subject to a 135 euro fine.
By local administrative decision, only passengers, as well as people accompanying children traveling alone or under 18, people accompanying passengers with disabilities or vulnerable people, can can have access to the Paris-Charles de Gaulles and Paris-Orly airports.
Terminals and Airlines
Some terminals at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly airports are temporarily closed.
Airlines must consequently reorganise their operations. In the same way, these same airlines are today forced to adapt their flight schedules to the travel restrictions set by the States they operate in.
We invite you, before your departure, to consult the flight schedules and to contact your airline company for information on the current status of your flight.
Please note: a sworn declaration stating that you are not showing symptoms of Covid-19 infection is required for all air travel, regardless of the destination. This document must be given to your airline company when you board the plane.
Paris Aéroport has set up two Covid-19 testing centers at Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport and Paris-Orly airport. Departing passengers must take an appointment online (doctolib.fr). Results will be guaranteed within 48 hrs for an RT-PCR test and within 1 to 2 hrs maximum for an antigenic test.
