At Paris-Le Bourget airport, Aéroports de Paris submitted to the Economic Advisory Committee an increase of +0.91% in the landing fee and a 19.9% increase in the parking fee. These proposals were then submitted for approval by the French Transport Regulatory Authority. By decision No. 2021-068 of 16 December 2021 published on 17 January 2022, the ART approved the airport fees applicable to the airports of Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly and Paris Le Bourget from 1 April 2022. 1.1.2.3 Security Description of security activities Government authorities are responsible for organising security at French airports. They delegate its implementation to airport operators or other stakeholders. Under the authority of the Prefect of police of Paris, assisted by a Deputy Prefect for the safety and security of airports and under the supervision of government authorities, Aéroports de Paris is required to put the following in place: ◆ a security check and screening system for all passengers and all cabin baggage and personal effects using detection equipment (gates and X-ray devices, in particular) and, where applicable, body searches and pat downs. Since 31 January 2014, liquids, aerosols and gels are randomly checked using explosive detection equipment suitable for these types of products. Since 1 September 2015, security checkpoints have new equipment that also allows the detection of traces of explosives on both passengers and cabin baggage; ◆ a security check system for hold baggage that ensures security checks of all hold baggage presented by airlines according to procedures defined by the government authorities, which essentially consists of explosive-detecting apparatus, generally integrated into airport baggage handling facilities, possibly accompanied by specially trained dogs; ◆ security check measures for staff, their personal effects and vehicles at each access point to restricted security areas within airports, as well as access control measures, including biometrics in particular; ◆ security check and screening measures for supplies; ◆ security procedures for the use of facilities made available to the group’s partners (check-in counters, boarding lounges, etc.); ◆ special arrangements inside and outside of the terminals including physical separation of flows with passengers from countries or airports not recognised as having an equivalent security level, facilities that allow a single security check for passengers or baggage during connections for certain flights from countries or airports that apply security measures

recognised as equivalent, video-surveillance of security check points and personnel access points, security partitions, secured emergency exits, and anti-return doors and hallways, etc.; ◆ patrolling procedures and monitoring of border security and controls in critical parts of restricted access security areas for airport identification cards and vehicle passes. All of these measures are described in a safety programme established at each airport by Aéroports de Paris and submitted for information purposes to the Civil Aviation services. The security programmes result in the issuance by the Deputy Prefect of a security approval for a maximum period of five years. For Paris-Le Bourget, the security programme was approved on 28 June 2017 for five years. The programmes for Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle were approved on 28 March 2018. The security programmes set out the tasks, locations, resources and procedures to be used, and are supplemented by training plans for the hiring and training of staff working in the security field and quality assurance programmes that describe in particular Aéroports de Paris’ supervisory mechanisms for overseeing security service providers. Around 300 people are employed by Aéroports de Paris to directly perform security duties, and nearly 4,700 people are employed by external service providers specialising in carrying out security checks and screening. These companies are selected by Aéroports de Paris on behalf of the French government, after a publicised and competitive procurement procedure. As the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic continued in 2021, when terminals were closed, passenger checks by the service providers in the facilities concerned were suspended.
