Airport HistoryEst. 1974

Opened in 1974 on farmland northeast of Paris at Roissy-en-France, Charles de Gaulle Airport was built to replace the aging Orly and Le Bourget fields as France's flagship international gateway. Named after the wartime leader and former French president, it grew into the main hub of Air France and one of the busiest airports in Europe, known for Paul Andreu's distinctive circular Terminal 1 and its direct high-speed rail connection.

✦Terminal 1's circular design by architect Paul Andreu features tube-shaped escalators connecting a central drum to satellite piers, giving it a distinctive 'flying saucer' look.

✦CDG has its own dedicated TGV high-speed rail station, letting travelers reach cities across France without going into central Paris.

✦Concorde flew supersonic passenger service out of CDG for 27 years, from 1976 until Air France retired the type in 2003.

✦The airport is named after Charles de Gaulle, leader of the Free French Forces in World War II and later President of France.

✦CDG is consistently the busiest airport in the European Union by passenger traffic, a distinction it holds since the UK's exit from the EU removed London Heathrow from that ranking.
