A pilot from the Algerian airline Air Algérie filmed an impressive maneuver during his landing at Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris-Roissy. A final approach parallel with another Air France plane.
At airports with parallel runway configurations, control towers may authorize simultaneous landings or takeoffs.
Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport in France has four runways, divided into two pairs of independent runways.

The tracks are numbered 26L/26R and 27L/27R. It is therefore not uncommon for planes to be authorized to carry out parallel approaches, as happens during the landing of an Air Algérie plane and another from Air France, filmed from the cockpit.
Moread Aomraoui, Captain aboard the Air Algérie plane, he captures the scene and shares it sequence on his TikTok this Monday, May 6. At the beginning of the video the two planes begin a perfectly simultaneous and parallel approach.
The author of the video then turns the lens of his camera towards the two parallel tracks. On one of them, a plane is preparing for take-off. Talks are intensifying with the control tower to manage the three maneuvers underway on the two runways.
Continuing the approach, the Air Algérie pilot took the opportunity to film the French capital, including the imposing Eiffel Tower.
