Paris Aéroport

About

Paris Aéroport is one of the most successful airport administration groups in the world, being responsible for the many airports located around the Paris area, including Paris Charles de Gaulle and Paris Orly, both major international commercial aviation centres. The French government controls a 50.6% stake in the company, which is enshrined in the French transport code. As such, the company’s hybrid public-private ownership structure provides unique challenges and opportunities for the Paris Aéroport legal function. Led by Marc Birolichie, legal and insurance director, the team marries its support of the company’s airport operations work with more proactive business ventures aimed at expanding its reach internationally. One recent example of this is Paris Aéroport’s joint awarding of a concession with French multinational Bouygues, to operate, modernise and expand Cuba’s Jose Martí International Airport in 2016. Similarly, in March 2017 it announced the successful conclusion of talks with the Vietnamese government to take on a 20% share of Airport Corporation of Vietnam, the country’s only airport operations company. As such, Paris Aéroport’s legal team is required to operate effectively with both state and non-state actors in a number of wide and diverse jurisdictions from a business perspective, as well as successfully legislate for operations in the highly regulated airport industry on a day-to day basis.
