CDGVAL (Charles de Gaulle Véhicule Automatique Léger) is a free automatic shuttle rail service at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport consisting in two lines : a first line which opened on April 4, 2007 and a second on June 27, 2007. Based on the VAL system and using VAL 208 coaches, the first five-station line links the three airport terminals, RER and TGV stations and remote car parks within 8 minutes.
The two lines are jointly operated by Siemens and Keolis on a 24-hour basis. The 60 million annual passengers of the airport and its 85,000 employees generate an annual traffic of 10 million journeys on CDGVAL.

History
The CDGVAL project replaced the SK6000 project, which was abandoned after unsuccessful test runs in 1999. CDGVAL was launched in 2000, with construction work beginning in 2003. Total cost is estimated at €145 million.
LISA
A second CDGVAL line, called LISA (Liaison Interne Satellite Aérogare), links Terminal 2E and the Terminal S3 and opened on June 27, 2007. With two stations and 0.6 km long it is located within the security controlled area of the airport and therefore accessible only to flight passengers.
