Group ADP became an Official Partner of Paris Olympics 2024 and the Paralympic Games, organizers said on Tuesday. In 2022, Groupe ADP handled 86.7 million passengers at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly.
The Paris Olympics will be held from July 26 to August 11, while the Paralympic Games will take place from August 28 to September 11.
Augustin de Romanet, President and CEO of Groupe ADP, speak: “This partnership is a proud and meaningful alliance: Paris 2024’s call to ‘Open the Olympics’ aligns with our mission to welcome the world to the celebration of the Olympic Games. The global concept is the Olympic and Paralympic Games Paris 2024. In the summer of 2024, France will be the center of the world. It is at our airports that the Olympics will begin and will end for many: everyone will have their first and last memories there. This is a huge challenge for the entire airport community and our territories, and a unique opportunity to demonstrate our know-how and commitment to hospitality. Groupe ADP, together with all its employees, will be there to make Paris 2024 an unforgettable collective success.”
Tony Estanguet, President of Paris 2024: “We are delighted that Groupe ADP, already a partner in the bidding phase of the project, is today renewing its commitment to Paris 2024. In just over a year, France will host the world, and Groupe ADP’s know-how and expertise in hospitality will be essential to ensure that the experience of foreign audiences and thousands of athletes gets off to the best possible start. Groupe ADP’s active policy towards people with disabilities is also fully aligned with our ambition to utilize the first Summer Paralympic Games in France to advance our society towards inclusion and better accessibility. We are committed to strengthening cooperation in this and many other areas, for the success of the Paris 2024 Olympics. Thank you Groupe ADP, and welcome to the adventure!”
Paris’ airports will be the gateway for 15,000 athletes, 208 delegations eligible for the Paris 2024 Olympics, especially the transcontinental teams. From the airports, a large number of athletes will set out to conquer their victories and dreams, followed by thousands of union members, journalists, fans and spectators.
Together with the entire airport community, more than 5,000 Groupe ADP employees in Paris are mobilized to bring their expertise and welcoming spirit to the success of this global event.
Inspired by Paris 2024’s ambition to be more inclusive and responsible, this partnership will be based on the following pillars:
- Turn airports into real places of living, entertainment and celebration, vibrating to the rhythms of Paris 2024. Millions of visitors, as well as employees of the group and all the surrounding territories will have experience unforgettable emotions.
- Build the airport of the future, accessible and open to all, at the heart of aviation that is reinventing itself. Paris 2024 aims to leave a common and lasting legacy for the entire airport community, such as improving the quality of rail-air lines in the CDG 2 train station at Paris-Charles Airport de Gaulle.
To this end, Groupe ADP’s responsibilities in this partnership context will be reflected in:
- Prepare operations management of routes and baggage, implement work to adapt our facilities, improve accessibility on our platforms, with special attention to people with disabilities;
- Strengthen support for employee engagement through sport, which has been common since 2022, especially through funding various individual or team sports projects: this task is assigned to Pascal Gentil, two Olympic bronze medalist in taekwondo, who joined the team to promote and share the values of the sport and the Olympics among staff and in the region, and contribute to our project of excellence in receiving athletes and delegations at the airport.
