Editing Charles de Gaulle Airport (section)

=== Terminal 2 ===
Terminal 2 is spread across seven sub-terminals: 2A to 2G. Terminals 2A to 2F are connected by inter-terminal walkways, but Terminal 2G is a satellite building {{convert|800|m|mi|1|abbr=on}} away. Terminal 2G can only be accessed by shuttle bus from Terminals 1, 2A to 2F and 3. The CDGVAL inter-terminal shuttle train, Paris RER Regional-Express and high-speed TGV rail station, [[Aéroport Charles de Gaulle 2 TGV]], is located within the Terminal 2 complex and between 2C and 2E (on one side) or 2D and 2F (on the opposite side).

Terminal 2F was used for the filming of the music video for the [[U2]] song "[[Beautiful Day]]". The band also had their picture taken inside Terminal 2F for the album artwork of their 2000 album ''[[All That You Can't Leave Behind]]''.

Terminals 2B and 2D are used by the majority of the airlines part of the [[Oneworld]] alliance, except Oneworld's long haul carriers to Asia and the Middle East, French overseas airlines [[Air Austral]] and [[Air Tahiti Nui]],<ref name="Airlines"/> and all other non [[SkyTeam]] short-haul and mid-haul airlines which do not operate from Terminal 1.<ref name="Oneworld">{{Cite web|url=https://www.jal.co.jp/jp/en/inter/airport/cdg/transit/|title=[PARIS] CHARLES DE GAULLE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT|access-date=30 April 2023|website=Japan Airlines}}</ref> and SkyTeam carrier [[Czech Airlines]] also use this terminal.<ref name="Airlines"/>

Terminals 2E and 2F are dedicated use for [[Air France]] and its [[SkyTeam]] partners except [[Saudia]] (Terminal 1). Several other carriers also use Terminal 2E, these are Oneworld carrier [[Japan Airlines]]<ref name="Oneworld"/> and non-aligned carriers [[Air Mauritius]], [[China Southern Airlines]], [[Gulf Air]], [[LATAM Chile]], and [[WestJet]].<ref name="Airlines"/>

==== Collapse of Terminal 2E ====

On 23 May 2004, shortly after the inauguration of terminal 2E, a portion of it collapsed near [[Gate (airport)|Gate]] E50, killing four people.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3743081.stm|title='Fresh cracks' at Paris airport|work=[[BBC News]] |date=24 May 2004 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220518182048/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/3743081.stm |archive-date=2022-05-18 |url-status=live}}</ref> Two of the dead were reported to be Chinese citizens, one Czech and the other Lebanese.<ref>{{cite news|url= https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/paris-airport-collapse-blamed-on-design-483590.html|title=Paris airport collapse blamed on design|newspaper=[[The Independent]] |date=16 February 2005 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221026070025/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/paris-airport-collapse-blamed-on-design-483590.html |archive-date=2022-10-26 |url-status=live}}</ref> Three other people were injured in the collapse. Terminal 2E had been inaugurated in 2003 after some delays in construction and was designed by [[Paul Andreu]]. Administrative and judicial enquiries were started.

Before this accident, ADP had been planning for an [[initial public offering]] in 2005 with the new terminal as a major attraction for investors. The partial collapse and indefinite closing of the terminal just before the beginning of summer seriously hurt the airport's business plan.

In February 2005, the results from the administrative inquiry were published. The experts pointed out that there was no single fault, but rather a number of causes for the collapse, in a design that had little margin for safety. The inquiry found the concrete [[Vault (architecture)|vaulted roof]] was not resilient enough and had been pierced by metallic pillars and some openings weakened the structure. Sources close to the inquiry also disclosed that the whole building chain had worked as close to the limits as possible, so as to reduce costs. Paul Andreu denounced the building companies for having not correctly prepared the [[reinforced concrete]].

On 17 March 2005, ADP decided to tear down and rebuild the whole part of Terminal 2E (the "jetty") of which a section had collapsed, at a cost of approximately €100&nbsp;million.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.lci.fr/|title=Info et actualité en direct – Toutes les actualités et infos|website=LCI |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220124044525/https://www.lci.fr/ |archive-date=2022-01-24 |url-status=live}}</ref> The reconstruction replaced the innovative concrete tube style of the jetty with a more traditional steel and glass structure. During reconstruction, two temporary departure lounges were constructed in the vicinity of the terminal that replicated the capacity of 2E before the collapse. The terminal reopened completely on 30 March 2008.

==== Terminal 2G ====

Terminal 2G, dedicated to regional Air France and [[HOP!]] flights and its affiliates, opened in 2008. This terminal is to the east of all terminals and can only be reached by shuttle bus. Terminal 2G is used for passengers flying in the [[Schengen Area]] (and thus has no passport control) and handles Air France regional and European traffic and provides small-capacity planes (up to 150 passengers) with a faster turnaround time than is currently possible by enabling them to park close to the new terminal building and boarding passengers primarily by bus, or walking. A bus line called "navette orange" connects the terminal 2G inside the security check area with terminals 2E and 2F. Passengers transferring to other terminals need to continue their trip with other bus shuttles within the security check area if they do not need to get their bags.

==== Terminal 2E Hall L (Satellite 3) ====
The completion of {{convert|750|m|abbr=on}} long Satellite 3 (or S3) to the immediate east of Terminals 2E and 2F provides further [[Jet bridge|jetways]] for large-capacity airliners, specifically the [[Airbus A380]]. Check-in and [[Baggage handling system|baggage handling]] are provided by the existing infrastructure in Terminals 2E and 2F. Satellite 3 was opened in part on 27 June 2007 and fully operational in September 2007. It corresponds now to gates L of terminal 2E.

==== Terminal 2E Hall M (Satellite 4) ====
The satellite S4, adjacent to the S3 and part of terminal 2E, officially opened on 28 June 2012. It corresponds now to gates M of terminal 2E. Dedicated to long-haul flights, it has the ability to handle 16 aircraft at the same time, with an expected capacity of 7.8 million passengers per year. Its opening has led to the relocation of all SkyTeam airlines to terminals 2E (for international carriers), 2F (for Schengen European carriers) and 2G.

==== Recent terminal reassignments ====
Air France has moved all of its operations previously located at 2C to 2E. In October 2012, 2F closed its international operations and became completely Schengen, allowing for all Air France flights previously operating in 2D to relocate to 2F.

Further, in April 2013, Terminal 2B closed for a complete renovation (with all airlines relocating to 2D) and received upgrades including the addition of a second floor completely dedicated to arrivals. Terminal 2B reopened on 2 June 2021. Airlines including the [[Lufthansa group]], [[Aegean Airlines]], [[easyJet]], [[Icelandair]], [[LOT Polish Airlines]], [[Norwegian Air Shuttle]], [[Play (airline)|Play]], [[Royal Air Maroc]], and [[Scandinavian Airlines]] began operations at Terminal 2B until 2 December 2022, when the airlines except easyJet and Royal Air Maroc moved back to Terminal 1. Low-cost carrier easyJet has shown interest in being the sole carrier at 2B.<ref name="S4_ADP">{{cite web |url=http://www.aeroportsdeparis.fr/ADP/Resources/90cfb7fb-0d8f-4b33-ba12-48433680b4c8-DPFutursatellite4delaeroportParisCharlesdeGaulle.pdf |title=Le future satellite 4 de l'aéroport Paris-Charles de Gaulle |access-date=28 January 2011 |website=ADP |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140810050212/http://www.aeroportsdeparis.fr/ADP/resources/90cfb7fb-0d8f-4b33-ba12-48433680b4c8-DPFutursatellite4delaeroportParisCharlesdeGaulle.pdf |archive-date=2014-08-10 |url-status=live}}</ref>{{Irrelevant citation|reason=The source dates back from 2010 and does not easyJet nor any of the other post-2010 developments.

It allows for all security and passport control to be handled in a single area, allows for many new shopping opportunities as well as new airline lounges, and eases transfer restrictions between 2A and 2C. Terminal 2D was closed during the pandemic and received the same upgrade including an additional floor. Terminal 2D reopened on 18 April 2023 and some airlines have moved operations to the terminal.<ref name="Airlines"/>

Terminals 2A and 2C are closed for baggage renovation system for 18 months (with all airlines relocating to Terminal 1 or 2B).{{ref|1|1}}
