Detail of consolidated revenue – First nine months of 2023
Evolution of revenue by segment
Analysis by segment
Aviation – Parisian platforms
Over the first nine months of 2023, the aviation segment revenue , which relates solely to the airport activities carried out by Aéroports de Paris as operator of the Parisian platforms, was up +18.2%, to 1,447 million euros.
Revenue from airport fees (passenger fees, landing fees and aircraft parking fees) up +18.5%, to 870 million euros due to:
Revenue from ancillary fees was up +21.7%, to 181 million euros, linked to the increase of passenger traffic.
As a reminder, the tariffs applicable for the Parisian platforms are presented on the company's website, and their evolution since the 2022 tariff period is presented in Appendix 2 of this release.
Revenue from airport safety and security services was up +16.4%, to 368 million euros. As these revenues are determined by the partially fixed costs of these activities, they are growing at a lower rate than passenger traffic.
Other income, mostly consisting in re-invoicing to the French Air Navigation Services Division of leasing for the use of terminals and other work services for third parties was up +13.2%, to 28 million euros.
Retail and services – Parisian platforms
Over the first nine months of 2023, Retail and services segment revenue , which includes only Parisian activities was up +27.1%, to 1,297 million euros.
Revenue from retail activities consists in revenue received from airside and landside shops, bars and restaurants, banking and foreign exchange activities, and car rental companies, as well as revenue from advertising.
Over the first nine months of 2023, retail activities revenue was up +30.1%, to 837 million euros, due to:
Revenue from car parks was up +18.9%, to 131 million euros, linked to the increase in passenger traffic.
Revenue from industrial services (supply of electricity and water) was up +33.0%, to 151 million euros.
Rental revenue (leasing of spaces within terminals) was up +14.2%, to 119 million euros.
Other revenue (primarily constituted of internal services) was up +19.7%, to 59 million euros.
Real Estate – Parisian platforms
Over the first nine months of 2023, revenue from the Real Estate segment , consisting of Parisian activities only, was up +7.9%, to 242 million euros.
External revenue realized with third parties, was up +9.4%, to 208 million euros, mainly due to additional rents from assets returned to full ownership in 2022 and the effect of indexation clauses on rents.
Internal revenue was stable, at 35 million euros. A one-off re-invoicing for internal services, booked in the 3 quarter, has offset the reduced internal use of offices linked to the implementation of a new flex office organization. The space thus freed up will eventually be rented out to third parties.
International and airports developments
Over the first nine months of 2023, revenue from International and airport developments was up +25.9%, to 1,231 million euros, mainly due to the increase in revenue for TAV Airports and AIG.
AIG's revenue was up +13.5%, to 217 million euros, mainly due to the effect of the +24.3% increase in passenger traffic in Amman on revenues from aeronautical fees.
TAV Airports' revenue was up +30.6%, to 979 million euros, mainly due to the effect of the traffic increase of +24.1% of TAV Airports on revenue:

Reminder of traffic assumptions, forecasts and financials targets 2023-2025
As part of the 2025 Pioneers strategic roadmap communicated on February 16 , 2022, Groupe ADP has set out targets up to 2025. These targets have been built assuming no new restrictions or airport closures linked to the health crisis, the stability of the economic model in Paris and the absence of abnormally high volatility in terms of exchange and inflation rates. They are also based on the consolidation scope at the end of 2021, assuming no changes by 2025.
It is specified that any further changes to the assumptions on which the group's targets are based could have an impact on the volume of traffic and the 2025 Pioneers financial indicators.

Appendix 2 – Evolution of tariffs at Paris Aéroport since the 2022 tariff period
As a reminder, the French Transport Regulation Authority (ART) has, as part of its decision n°2021-068 of September 16 , 2021, for the 2022 tariff period, i.e. from April 1 , 2022 to March 31 , 2023, approved the tariff proposals as follows: a +1.54% increase in passenger fee, a freeze in the unit rate of the parking fee and the landing fee and an average increase of +0.95% for ancillary fees with the exception of the PRM (Person with reduced mobility) fee which will increase by +10.0% on the Paris-Charles de Gaulle platform and +0.94% at Paris-Orly. For the Paris Le Bourget airport, the ART approved fee increases of +0.91% for landing fees and +19.9% for parking fees.
By its decision n°2022-087 of December 8 , 2022, published on January 13 , 2023, the ART approved the airport fees for Aéroports de Paris for the tariff period from April 1 , 2023, to March 31 , 2024. The approved proposal translates to average rate stability for Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Paris-Orly, with the changes in tariffs offsetting each other. These measures involve the reduction of the parking fee by approximately -2.7%, the increase of the fee for assistance to persons with reduced mobility of +2.5% at Paris-Charles de Gaulle and of +10.0% at Paris-Orly and a +7% increase in the fixed portion of the annual fee for check-in counters, boarding desks and local luggage handling for Paris-Orly and Paris-Charles de Gaulle.
For Paris-Le Bourget airport, the average increase in fees is approximately +2.5%. This results from a +2.1% increase in the landing fee, a modification of the acoustic modulation coefficients for group 6 aircrafts, a freeze in the fee for the provision of airport circulation permits and a +2.5% increase in the parking fee. The applicable fees are available on the company's website.
