Barring exceptional events, traffic on the French motorway network should prove resilient and remain comparable to 2022 levels. Long-term growth trends show that road transport is and will remain the predominant mode of transportation in France. Traffic on road infrastructure outside France is also expected to continue its growth trend.
In the airports sector, the recovery in airport traffic gathered pace throughout 2022. Several hubs in Europe and the Americas are currently operating at close to, or above, 2019 levels.
Passenger traffic in the Group’s airports should continue to recover but is not expected to return to 2019 levels in 2023 due to the lag observed in Asia.
For the medium and long term, structural mobility needs will continue to drive growth in airport activities.
The concessions business lines will work towards reducing their direct environmental impact and help all their stakeholders meet their shared goal to decarbonise and develop the climate-resilience of infrastructure. In light of these in-depth transformations, the concession contract model appears all the more appropriate and particularly well-suited for this type of investment, as do the Group’s long-term strategy and positioning as a player at the centre of global mobility challenges.
