CDG 2 - AF terminal - Satellites S3 and S4 - future trends
As we are getting close to the phased opening of Satellite S3 (from June to November 2007), it may be interesting to have a specific thread devoted to this new boarding area, linked to 2F and 2E, while keeping other issues in the CDG FAQ or in specific threads. Regarding a specific thread for Satellite S4 (2011-2012) and CDG 4 (2016), let's wait just a little bit

- 2007 - June-November : phased opening of S3
- 2008 - summer : re-opening of the central part of the 2E boarding area
- 2008 - fall : opening of the Schengen part of 2G, the terminal for regional aircrafts
- 2008 - winter : 2F2 shifts from non-Schengen flights to Schengen flights

- Satelllite S3 will also be called Galerie Parisienne
- It seems that, starting this summer, AF may decrease its activity in the "old" satellites, starting with 2B.

The A380 should be in CDG in early June (2nd and 3rd, unless I am mistaken) to test the facilities in S3.

The A380 should arrive this afternoon for a two days test of the CDG infrastructure, including the S3 jetways. It is scheduled to leave for NRT on Sunday.

But jokes aside, the S3 is long overdue and will make CDG a lot more competitive and enjoyable hub at which to transfer.
