charles de gaulle airport terminal
Since the terminal collapse earlier this year at Charles de Gaulle airport. Can a Air France traveler share their experience.
I've heard that Air France passengers have been shuttled by bus onto the tarmac to board and debark planes.

They call them "people movers," flanneruck, which is, oddly, exactly what some people call those moving walkways inside airports.
snipperite has a valid question, though I'm not sure what his/her real concern is, as it isn't all that uncommon to have to go out to the tarmac to board a plane. Heck, in Morocco, they toss you off the plane onto the tarmac and you trudge across on foot to the terminal!

Hello All
The use of buses to shuttle people from the departure lounge to the aircraft is very common in europe.
The buses are actually provided by the ADP ( Aeroport de Paris )and are huge ( two bus loads will fill a regular plane )
The closure of terminal 2E caused initial unorganised chaos .
Day to day operations are now slowly returning to organised chaos with the main problem facing the ADP being the re - location of the staff that were based at terminal 2E.
Glad to see that nothing has changed on Fodors.
best regards

I was at CDG earlier this month...flying on Air France. Yes, you will have to board a bus to the plane.
As others have noted, this is common in many airports, and most likely would have been the case even if the terminal didn't collapse.
