Questioned at the microphone ofEurope 1, the president of ADP estimated that the English variant and its potential contagiousness justifies the return of a “fortnight” for people returning from England. “I recommend a custodial order,” he said.

Regarding the debates on the potential establishment of a “Vaccination passport”, the CEO stresses “documents” could be imposed by private companies, and that a “State can worry about discrimination between citizens on vaccines”. Augustin de Romanet also believes that “measures are needed to limit the shutdown of the economy”. He explains: “What would be Orwellian is to fall into a field where, on the grounds that one is not vaccinated, one can no longer cross the door of his bakery”.
When will the economic recovery of air traffic come about?
Sure Europe 1, the CEO of Aéroports de Paris estimated that the economic recovery of air traffic could happen “between 2024 and 2025”.

Heavily affected by the health crisis, air traffic is at its lowest. Airports have experienced a sadly record low level of traffic since the start of the Covid-19 crisis. Last December, the management of ADP group (Paris Airports) announced a voluntary departure plan. For the greatest concern of the Department of Val-de-Marne, fearing for the employment area around Orly airport. President Christian Favier (PCF) declared “to fear cascading consequences for the subcontractors, and more generally for the entire Orly-Rungis employment area”.
