Plan Ahead for Travel During This Summer’s Paris Olympics
AEG Fuels is here with the planning and trip support services you’ll need to make sure your flight operations continue to run smoothly during the upcoming Paris Summer Olympic Games. While many of the final details around the Games, which take place July 26-August 11, have not yet been put in place, the AEG team has been in contact with our local agents to gather basic information on the planned logistics and the impacts they will have on customers that may be traveling to Paris or through Parisian airspace. Some of the basic actions we know will be taken include:
- From July 12 to September 16, slot restrictions will be implemented at Paris-LeBourget Airport (LFPB).
- There will be a limit on the number of aircraft operations allowed per hour.
- A limitation on aircraft parking spaces will also be implemented.
- Access to parking, both in and outside hangars, will be limited. Many hangars are already almost full.
- Peak periods of congestion are expected to be day before and after the Opening and Closing Ceremonies.
AEG recommends customers start submitting your flight schedules to us as soon as possible so we can look at what options are available for handling your trip to/from LFPB or work with you to recommend an alternate airport or other solution. Our team is very experienced with the best alternative airports in the Paris region for General Aviation travelers, having worked with them many times over the years. Our extensive international operational experience, along with our access to Boeing Jeppesen’s extensive real-time informational capabilities, allows us to provide the solutions and personalized service to meet our customers’ needs. This is especially relevant for worldwide events such as the Olympic Games, when we know disruptions will take place.
As we get closer to the Games timeframe, authorities will begin to issue slot reservations, and more details on parking and other procedures will be made available. We expect this will include detailed security protocols that our customers, and all travelers, must abide by. AEG is ready 24/7 to serve you and make sure your flight operations continue to run smoothly. We will continue to provide updates as they become available on what to expect as far as impacts on flight operations around the Paris Olympics. Please reach out to us with any questions or other queries you may have. We’re here to help with every aspect of your trip, no matter how basic or how complex.

What motivates you to do well in trip planning?
One hundred percent is the only way I know how to do things. This is the mentality I have when it comes to always striving to provide our customers with the best products and services possible. Knowing that what we do directly affects the success of a trip motivates me to always give one hundred percent. Knowing that our clients were able to execute a safe and successful trip is validation for all the hard work. No two trips are the same and each has its own level of difficulties and complexities. The challenges that each trip presents keeps me motivated and on my toes.
What motivates you to lead the team?
Throughout my career, colleagues have shared their knowledge and expertise and help expand my skillset. Sharing my knowledge and providing guidance to others will not only help an individual, but also strengthen our team. This, in turn, means that our clients receive the highest level of service possible.
