Western European cities. The connection rate at the airport was 30.6% in 2018.
The airlines
Terminal 1 at Paris-Charles de Gaulle handles international and Schengen traffic, and includes Star Alliance member airlines.
Terminal 2 handles international and Schengen traffic, including Air France, its SkyTeam alliance partners and the airlines belonging to Oneworld alliance.
Terminal 3 mainly handles charter and low-cost traffic.
The main airlines operating at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport are Air France, easyJet, Delta Airlines, Vueling et Lufthansa.
The runways

Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport has an
extremely efficient runway system with two sets of parallel runways whose physical layout allows independent use. For each of the two sets, one runway is used for takeoffs and the other for landings, thus limiting the noise impact caused by traffic.

Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport is served by a
network of road and rail transport which makes it accessible for passengers, cargo carriers and airlines' employees operating at the airport. This network places the airport at the
forefront of intermodality.CDGVAL, the automated rail shuttle connects the airport's terminals, the RER/TGV train stations and the long-term car parking.
