Paris Beauvais Airport is now France’s 10th busiest airport. Managed and operated by SAGEB, it is a human scale infrastructure that is constantly being upgraded.
Since the liberalisation of air transport in the European Union in 1997, the number of passengers passing through the airport has risen steadily, from 78,000 passengers to 5.6 million in 2023.
The number of flights has risen from 4,366 in 2001 to 33,745 in 2023. The number of passengers per aircraft has risen from 97 in 2001 to 167 in 2023.
This development has been accompanied by constant modernisation of the airport, to offer passengers the best possible quality of service.

It thus ensures flight punctuality which is nearly 10 points higher than the national average, and can maximize avoidance of flight cancelations due to local weather conditions.
