People have mixed opinions on Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). While I know many people aren’t a fan of the airport, as an aviation geek, I’m sort of a fan. However, there’s one thing I’ve never been able to make sense of, though fortunately that will be changing.
I welcome these changes, though I’m sure the transition may be a bit messy, and cause some confusion, since I can’t imagine all signage will be updated overnight (or maybe it will be?). The truth is that CDG just has a really complicated terminal layout, as is the case with many airports, given how they’re built over time, piece by piece.
Furthermore, I could see there being some confusion in terms of multiple terminals sharing the same check-in halls, particularly for Air France and SkyTeam departure areas.
Bottom line
In March 2027, Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport plans to update its terminal naming system, which I think has been confusing travelers for a very long time. In particular, Terminal 2E has caused a lot of confusion, with Halls K-M.
The airport will go from having just three terminal numbers, to having seven terminal numbers. Fortunately we’ll no longer see terminals with numbers and letters, which was always a bit confusing.
What do you make of CDG’s terminal renaming?
