This is one of the few giant airports I am interested in seeing added to WoA. While he area is massive and may not be something that current game mechanics can handle, I think the variety in terminal shapes across the airport as well as having 4 runways and a myriad of taxiways, I think this airport has a ton of interest in terms of playing it. Would love to see it added.

CDG I think would cause issues on some devices but it was a fab airport when I was there and I’d love to see it. Orly might be more in scope if a French Parisian airport was required or something more like Nice or Bordeaux for 2 runway airports of good size.

There was supposed to be a “Terminale 4,” but it was cancelled in 2021 because of COVID…
He’s talking about renovating or expanding in 2028; it’s not very clear for the moment.

I hope for Paris CDG
