Are passengers to go to

Are these sentences correct:

1-There are passengers in the airport to go to Paris.
2-There are passengers to go to Paris.

3-There are passengers in the airport, to go to Paris.
4-There are passengers, to go to Paris.

In '3' and '4', 'to go to Paris' has been added as an afterthought.

Gratefully,
Navi.

None of them is particularly natural. I'd say 'There are passengers for Paris in/at the airport' if I needed to remark on this.

Thank you very much Fivejedjon.

I wonder why they do not sound natural. I am not sure that 'There are people to go to Paris' does not imply that they are being sent there, but not necessarily of their own free will.

a-There are packages to go to Paris.

is natural, isn't it?

Gratefully,
