Opening of new terminal at CDG postponed

THE opening of Terminal 2E at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, which was set for June 17, has been postponed – with no firm date being rescheduled. Following the news of the postponement, Air France took the necessary measures to redirect its passengers who were due to board flights leaving from 2E to the other terminals at Paris-CDG. An airline spokesman says Air France is waiting for the Paris Airports Authority (Aéroports de Paris) to take all the necessary measures in order for Terminal 2E to open and function correctly in order to fulfil its commitment as soon as possible.
