French ploy to oust freight from Paris
Aéroports de Paris (ADP) is confident that freighter operators, including FedEx and La Poste, will be able to stay at Paris Charles de Gaulle despite French government plans to curtail night ifights.
Prime minister Leone! Jospin said the government would “hold a wide consultation in order to limit the number of movements at night, particularly of air freight… and to that end, will look at how to organise the movement of cargo operations to Vatry”.
ADP marketing development director Claude Elbaz said none of the operators concerned was interested in moving to Vatry, a cargoonly airport some 130km east of Paris. “It is not realistic to move to a place in the middle of nowhere,” he said.
“If they wanted to be based there, they would have set up their operations there. Integrators need access to passenger networks to transfer cargo for destinations not served by their own fleets.”
