Frederic Cuvillier said to French newspaperLe Figaro that about 400 million euros out of the total 1.7 billion euros needed for the “CDG Express” could come from a new ticket tax, and added that a decision would be made in the next couple of weeks.
The project’s backers, including the state-owned ADP Paris airport operator and three public transportation companies, hope to complete the project within the next decade.
