Airports will close during the opening ceremony of Olympic Games 2024.
On July 26, 2024, for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the airports of Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, Paris-Orly, Le Bourget and Beauvais-Tillé will be completely closed.
This measure, announced by the National Federation of Aviation and its Trades, includes a ban on flying over Paris over a diameter of 150 km from 7 p.m. to midnight.
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGAC) and airlines are working on the balance between aviation activity and passenger safety.
Air France and Aéroports de Paris, as partners of the Olympic Games, are coordinating with the organizing committee to minimize disruptions.
Passengers affected by these restrictions have already been contacted by the airlines concerned. Additional details on flight constraints and possible adjustments should be communicated in spring 2024.
In addition to air restrictions, reserved lanes could be put in place on the Paris ring road and the A1, impacting access to Charles-de-Gaulle airport. These measures could affect operational teams and logistics flows.
