Roissy-Charles De Gaulle Airport, France—A dispute between aviation workers and management at the French capital’s airports threatens to overshadow years of preparations and a 50-million-euro investment for visitors and athletes arriving for the Paris Olympics this month.
Along with train stations, Charles de Gaulle and Orly are set to be the main gateways into France for foreign Olympics fans, as well as athletes and equipment. “We know that there are some days that will be really intense and we will maybe have 300,000 travelers in the same day at Charles de Gaulle,” Julien Gentile, director of border security forces at Paris’s airports, told reporters last week.
Automated passport control machines, which can be used by EU travelers, as well as crowd-monitoring technology that alerts managers to the arrival of passengers, are also part of the efforts to avoid bottlenecks.One of the key challenges for ADP over the Olympic period is managing irregular and sharp spikes in demand.
