Redevelopment projects continue at Le Bourget
Paris’ Le Bourget Airport (Booth No.

Paris’ Le Bourget Airport (Booth No. 547) has pressed ahead with its long-term development plan despite the economic climate and is focusing on improving access to the site. The first phase of the Le Bourget redevelopment plan, which is to run through to 2023, was completed last year with only a few minor aspects of the work deferred.

Managing director Michel de Ronne told AIN that while local operators and FBOs have suffered from reduced activity, none has gone out of business and the bleak economy did not deter the arrival of newcomers. For example, Dubai-based JetEx Flight Support opened its new FBO at the airport (see article below), and Comlux Aviation is building a terminal for its widebody charter and management fleet, which it expects to be operational in early 2012.
