Strengths

Below is a list of the strengths we have identified for the business:

Opportunities

Below is a list of opportunities we have identified for the business:

1. Increase revenue streams by expanding airport services and amenities. Introducing new retail and dining options, as well as entertainment and leisure activities, will help to attract more passengers, who in turn can bring more revenue.

2. Improve customer service and satisfaction. By collecting customer feedback and surveys, Aeroports de Paris can better understand what customers are looking for and tailor services to meet their needs.

Additionally, investing in runway, terminal, and parking infrastructure can help to improve the airport’s capacity and reduce congestion.

Weaknesses

Below is a list of the weaknesses we have identified for the business:

1. Lack of a clear growth strategy: In the past few years, Aeroports de Paris has been buffeted by a series of external shocks (e.g. the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the SARS epidemic, the global financial crisis), which have led to a sharp decline in traffic. In response, the company has embarked on a series of ad-hoc initiatives, such as the development of a low-cost terminal at Charles de Gaulle airport, which have not been part of a coherent long-term strategy.

2. Poor cost management: Aeroports de Paris has one of the highest cost structures in the European airport industry, with costs per passenger 20-30% higher than its main competitors. This is due in part to the company's inefficient use of its assets, such as its large workforce and its three main Parisian airports.

3. Lack of a strong competitive position: Aeroports de Paris' main airports are located in one of the most competitive aviation markets in the world. The company has been losing market share to low-cost carriers and other airports in the region (e.g. London's Heathrow and Frankfurt), which have been able to offer passengers a better experience at a lower price.

4. Poor customer service: In recent years, Aeroports de Paris has been plagued by a series of customer service problems, such as long queues at security checkpoints and baggage reclaim, which have led to a deterioration in the passenger experience.

Threats

Below is a list of the threats we have identified for the business:

1. Environmental Regulations: Aeroports de Paris is subject to numerous environmental regulations, both at the local and international level, which could potentially lead to costly fines and other financial penalties if they are not adhered to.2

2. Increased Competition: With the growth of the low-cost airline industry, Aeroports de Paris faces increasing competition from regional and international airports, which could lead to decreased market share.

3. Aging Infrastructure: A significant portion of Aeroports de Paris’ infrastructure is aging, which could result in increased operational costs and safety risks if not addressed.

4. Security Risks: The threat of terrorism and other security risks can have a significant impact on Aeroports de Paris, leading to increased costs, decreased customer confidence and a potential decrease in revenue.

Innovation Scorecard

As part of our research and analysis activity, the team at Platform Executive assesses and then benchmarks businesses and the industry verticals in which they operate using a proprietary scoring mechanism.

First, we allocate a score of A-E for the industry vertical, gauged on the key organisations operating within the space; and then score the individual business using a 1-5 score.

A score of D-E within an industry means that it is potentially ripe to be disrupted by a new entrant into the marketplace; and/or vulnerable to technological change.

Likewise, a high score of 4-5 for the company in question indicates that in the view of the analysis team it lags behind notable businesses in terms of innovation and product pipeline.
