Charles de Gaulle International Airport is one of Europe's principal aviation centres, as well as France's main international airport.
On 26 August 1988, one Merhan Karimi Nasseri found himself held at Charles de Gaulle airport by immigration. He claimed he was a refugee, but had had his refugee papers stolen. After years of bureaucratic wrangling, it was concluded that Nasseri had entered the airport legally and could not be expelled from its walls; but since he had no papers, there was no country to deport him to either, leaving him in residential limbo. Nasseri has continued to live within the confines of the airport to this day, even though French authorities have since made it possible for him to leave if he so chooses
Charles de Gaulle International Airport has three terminals. Terminal 2 was built for Air France, but now hosts other airlines as well.
