CDGVAL is a free automatic shuttle service at Charles de Gaulle International Airport with two lines, a first line which opened on April 4, 2007 and a second on June 27, 2007. Based on the VAL system and using VAL 208 coaches, the first five-station line links the three airport terminals, RER and TGV stations and remote parking within 8 minutes. At rush hours, train frequency is 4 minutes.

The service will be jointly operated on a 24-hour basis by Siemens and Keolis for a period of six years.

History

The CDGVAL project replaced the SK6000 project, which was abandoned after unsuccessful test runs in 1999. CDGVAL was launched in 2000, with construction work beginning in 2003. Total cost is estimated at €145 million.

LISA

A second CDGVAL line, called LISA (Liaison Interne Satellite Aérogare), is linking Terminal 2E and the Terminal S3 and opened on June 27, 2007. It is located within the security controlled area of the airport and therefore only accessible to flight passengers. It is 0.6 km long (2 stations). This link will later be extended to the future Terminal S4.
