Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport to rename terminals

Passengers using Paris-Charles de Gaulle airport will soon see small but significant changes, with terminals, boarding areas and car parks set to change their names. 

“To simplify travel and improve the passenger experience, Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport is adopting a new naming system,” said site manager Aéroports de Paris in a press release. 

“The current designations (T1, T2A, T2B, T2C, T2D, T2E, T2F, and T2G) will be replaced… by a simple numbering system ranging from 1 to 7.” 

The renaming will take place on March 16, 2027. 

This is two weeks before a direct train linking the airport and the French capital is set to launch. 

Name changes for terminals and car parks

The majority of the terminals will see name changes:

• Terminal 1 remains Terminal 1 

• Terminal 3 changes to Terminal 2 

• Terminals 2A and 2C are combined to become Terminal 3 

• Terminals 2B and 2D are combined to become Terminal 4 

• Terminal 2E changes to Terminal 5 

• Terminal 2F changes to Terminal 6 

• Terminal 2G changes to Terminal 7

Boarding areas will also see changes, with departure lounges being represented by a single letter.

“This way, passengers will simply follow numbers outside the terminals and letters inside,” said Aéroports de Paris. 

A photo showing the new changes can be seen below.

Car parks will also see an update, with sites given new numbers based on the terminal they are closest to. 

This only applies to those directly adjacent to terminals, with other car parks further afield remaining unchanged.

“The aim, once again, is to make it easier to link parking areas with departure or arrival terminals,” said Aéroports de Paris. 

Road signs leading to the airport will be changed to reflect the update. 

Passengers can check tickets 

Airlines have begun changing ticket information to reflect the changes, for flights departing or arriving after the changes. 

For those who have already booked a flight taking place after the changes, old information may already be printed on the ticket.

The airport said that new signage will indicate the previous names of terminals, to ensure passengers with this old information can navigate to the correct terminal. 

“In the meantime, you can check your terminal's current name… or consult the list of airlines to see where they are located. And on the day itself, teams will be on hand to guide you and answer any questions or address any concerns you may have.”
