Orly

The World Airport Awards organised by Skytrax in Madrid on Wednesday delivered their verdict. And Paris Airport can pride itself on having come away from the ceremony with well-deserved laurels. For the 4th year running, Paris CDG was named best European airport. The group's flagship also retains its place in the top 10...

Decarbonisation, biodiversity and boosting public land transport. This has become the growth niche for the Paris airports of Orly and Roissy CDG under the leadership of the ADP/Aéroports de Paris group. In fact, the terminals as we know them today are not going to change fundamentally. There are simply a few extensions planned, which will make it possible to offer a high...

Transavia is used to a light-hearted approach to communication which often has a positive effect on social networks, but this time it has opted for a bad buzz... The fault lies with a surcharge applied after booking, which is causing - at the very least - incomprehension among its French customers. Accustomed to...

ADP and Fraport, the operators of the Paris and Frankfurt airports, have released their figures for January. Two opposite trends emerge from these figures. Paris Airports recorded an increase in passenger traffic of 8.7% compared with January 2024. This increase was driven by the performance of Paris CDG (+10.5%) rather than by...

As you might expect, the arrival of line 14 at Orly last June has rapidly established itself as the most practical option for many business and leisure travellers. And the Orlybus is a victim of the metro's success. Île-de-France Mobilités (IDFM) has therefore decided to close the line on 3 March. This...

Air France flights between Paris-Charles de Gaulle and Tel Aviv will resume on 25 January, unless of course the lull promised by the ceasefire is disrupted before then. The French carrier will operate 5 flights a week for this resumption of operations. But the schedule should gradually return to its usual daily frequency. The flights...

LOT Polish Airlines is to return to Paris Orly, an airport it has served in the past. More precisely 35 years ago, since the carrier's last flights were to Warsaw in April 1990... The Polish national carrier will be landing daily from 31 March...

The year 2024 marked a return to a certain normality in the growth of the Paris airports of Roissy-CDG and Orly. The two hubs saw a 3.7% increase in the total number of passengers, representing a volume of 103.41 million passengers. The passenger growth rate had already exceeded 15% between...

It's a bad move for Orly with Ryanair! After announcing that it had received the go-ahead for daily flights from Paris to Bratislava and Bergamo, the ultra-low-cost airline seems to have given up on landing at the southern hub of Paris. According to various sources, the airline's CEO, Michael...

It's going to be a busy summer for Transavia. The Air France subsidiary is preparing to add several routes - ten to be precise - from the main French airports to its catalogue. Paris, Bordeaux, Marseille, Nantes and Lyon are all involved in this major offensive, which will begin on 30 March with the launch of the Orly-Amsterdam flight. The KLM hub will be...

Is Paris-Orly airport more attractive than ever for low-cost airlines? Last year, the hub to the south of Paris welcomed 19.81 million passengers on low-cost routes. This represents an increase of more than 18% compared with 2022. Compared with 2019, 7 million extra passengers used the airport in 2023...

Once the euphoria of the Paris 2024 Games has passed, followed by the generally legitimate self-congratulation of the various organisers involved, the return to reality sometimes proves complex. On the front line, the ADP Group had drawn the stopwatch in the run-up to the event, teaming up with the PAF for a new monthly barometer. Launched in April 2023, this new tool aims to...

Updated on 27 August at 2pm Of course, not everything will be perfect for welcoming disabled athletes and spectators at the next Paralympic Games. Accessibility to the Paris metro remains the French capital's biggest problem for travellers with reduced mobility. Apart from line 14 and the stations...

A strike by Paris airport staff on 17 July, but little disruption is expected. Although several ADP group unions - CGT, CFDT, FO and UNSA - have called for strike action just a few days before the opening of the Olympic Games, the strike is "not expected to result in any flight cancellations", according to...

It's now just a matter of days. On 24 June, the extension of line 14 of the Paris metro will open to the public as far as Saint-Denis-Pleyel station in the north and, more importantly, Paris-Orly airport, with President Emmanuel Macron expected to attend the inauguration. Begun in 2018, this extraordinary project, which is entirely underground, was initially scheduled to be completed in 2010...

Updated on Friday 31 May at 9am Despite the very advantageous wage agreement signed on 25 April by the air traffic controllers, wage movements are continuing at Orly airport. Following last weekend's strike, which resulted in 70% flights being cancelled, USAC-CGT, the Union syndicale de l'aviation civile-CGT, has filed a...

Vueling's network continues to shrink from one season to the next. The programme of the Spanish low-cost carrier, a subsidiary of IAG, is losing almost a dozen routes for the summer of 2024, down to 32 destinations served from the Orly base. The carrier is now well behind Transavia (more than...

For ADP, Paris-Orly must undergo a long-term transformation in line with its territory. In its Orly 2035 project, the Group stresses that the aim is never to increase the number of movements at the airport. Excess traffic will have to be handled within the existing structures, which will have to be redeveloped and enlarged. According to the Paris Orly 2035 project, the reduction...

It's a surprise in Vueling's expansion strategy. The Spanish airline is launching a symbolic route: Paris Orly-London Heathrow. The daily service, scheduled to start on 7 April, will take off from Paris between 12.00 and 13.30 (with times varying from day to day), with an introductory fare of €35 for...

As 2023 draws to a close, Flightright is taking stock of the disruption experienced by business and leisure travellers when travelling in Europe. And the findings are clear for the passenger compensation specialist: "2023 has been a particularly complicated period for European travellers, marked by...
