On Friday the Aérobus A01 coach service between Beauvais–Tillé Airport and Porte Maillot, Paris was suspended temporarily due to the 2024 Summer Olympics being held in Paris. The airport, which saw 5.6 million passengers in 2023, is not served by a direct rail link.
To compensate for the closure, an increased number of buses, up to 80 a day according to the airport, are running on line A02 to Saint-Denis–Université station with connections to Metro Line 13, several local bus services, as well as being a short walk from Tramway Line 5. M13 runs through Paris city centre, serving the Champs-Élysées, Les Invalides, and Saint-Lazare and Montparnasse railway stations. The other shuttle lines, A03 to La Défense and A05 to Disneyland Paris, will remain in operation during the A01 closure.
"We did not decide to close the coach station at Paris Porte Maillot, the City of Paris and the Olympic Committee are taking it over for a few months to prepare for the Olympic Games in Paris. It was therefore not our decision" ((fr))French: Nous n'avons pas décidé de fermer la gare routière de Paris Porte Maillot, c'est la ville de Paris et la comité olympique qui prendre possession de celle-ci pour quelques mois pour la préparation des jeux olympiques à Paris. Ce n'est donc pas notre decision, Edo Friart, Chief Commercial Officer of the airport told Wikinews. He also told us that the "recommendation is not changing" ((fr))French: recommandation ne change pas on passengers taking a bus at least 3 hours before their flights.
Friart said that line A01 will remain closed "at least until the end of the Paris Olympics" ((fr))French: au moins jusqu'à la fin des jeux olympiques de Paris, but he did not provide a specific date.
