Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport (French: Aéroport de Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle) (IATA: CDG, ICAO: LFPG), also known as Roissy Airport (Aéroport de Roissy) or simply Paris CDG, is the main international airport serving Paris, the capital of France. Opened in 1974, it is in Roissy-en-France, 23 km (14 mile) northeast of Paris and is named after World War II statesman Charles de Gaulle (1890–1970), whose initials (CDG) are used as its IATA airport code.

Charles de Gaulle Airport has three terminals: 

Terminal 1 is the oldest. It was designed by Paul Andreu in the image of an octopus. It consists of a circular terminal building which houses key functions such as check-in counters and baggage claim conveyors. Seven satellites with boarding gates are connected to the central building by underground walkways.

Terminal 2 is located at another side with 7 sub-terminal buildings (2A to 2G). Terminal 2 was originally built exclusively for Air France; since then it has been expanded significantly and now houses other airlines. 

Terminal 3 (formerly known as "Terminal 9") hosts charter and low-cost airlines. The CDGVAL light-rail shuttle connects Terminal 2 to Terminals 1/3 and their parking lots.  Terminal 3 is located 1 km (0.62 mi) away from Terminal 1. It consists of one single building for arrivals and departures.  Terminal 3 has no boarding gates constructed and all passengers are ferried by airport buses to the aircraft stands.

80sen Skybridge

The Skybridge is connecting the Main Terminal Building to the Satellite Building at klia2.  it is the first airport Skybridge in Asia, a feature that will put Malaysia on the global map once again.  The iconic 300m skybridge is going to give the terminal an added advantage of aircraft maneuverability on the  tarmac as narrow-bodied aircraft can pass under it.  The multi-level Skybridge is designed with a glass window that will allow crossing passengers a spectacular view of the airside and the airport’s surrounding.

80sen Departure Hall

klia2 architecture and design are base on natural theme, a continuation of KLIA’s “Airport in the Forest, Forest in the Airport” concept.  klia2 is design to adhere with the Environmentally Responsible Interior Design guideline and in accordance to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Green Building Certification, in line with Malaysia Airport’s principle to build a green airport.  Elements such as skylight and indoor landscaping that imitate nature are design with the aim to reduce the environmental impact of the buildings.  Leafed canopy designs over the check-in counters in Main Terminal Building mimics the natural rainforest ambiance inside the terminal, and more importantly help filters the direct sunlight from the skylight to reduce glare.  The environmental-friendly design element at the new terminal fulfils our responsibility to both this and the future generations.

Malaysia 1965 KL International Airport, Subang

Subang International Airport/Kuala Lumpur International Airport (IATA: SZB, ICAO: WMSA) — formerly, often called Subang Airport — is an airport located in Subang, Petaling District, Selangor, Malaysia.

Work on the Subang International Airport started in 1961 and finished in 1965 at a cost of $64 million. Its deceptively simple design consisted of a roof composed of floating concrete shells that was held aloft by mushroom-shaped columns. Partners in the Booty Edwards Architectural practice Kington Loo and C.H.R Bailey are typically attributed with the design. The open structure also featured a massive circular ramp, reminiscent of Berthold Lubetkin's penguin pavilion in London. Most of the structure was removed during a major reconstruction in 1983.

The airport was officially opened to traffic on 30 August 1965, and had the longest runway (3,780 m (12,401 ft 7 in) long, 45 m (147 ft 8 in) wide – runway 15 – 33) in Southeast Asia, replacing Sungai Besi Airport.

France 1961 Aeroport de Paris - Orly

Paris Orly Airport  is one of two international airports serving Paris, the capital of France, the other one being Charles de Gaulle Airport (CDG). It is located partially in Orly and partially in Villeneuve-le-Roi, 13 km (8.1 mi) south of Paris. It serves as a secondary hub for domestic and overseas territories flights of Air France and as the homebase for Transavia France. Flights operate to destinations in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean, South America and North America.

Before the opening of Charles de Gaulle Airport in 1974, Orly was the main airport of Paris. Even with the shift of most international traffic to Charles de Gaulle Airport, Orly remains the busiest French airport for domestic traffic and the second busiest French airport overall in passenger traffic, with 33,120,685 passengers in 2018.  The airport is operated by Groupe ADP under the brand Paris Aéroport.

Originally known as Villeneuve-Orly Airport, the facility was opened in the southern suburbs of Paris in 1932 as a secondary airport to Le Bourget. 

In 24 February 1961, President Charles de Gaulle officially opened the Orly Sud terminal. First major achievement of Aéroport de Paris, which will install the company's core business - airport design and operation -, the new airport brings Paris definitively into the modern age and once again positions France as a major world power.
