1.3.1.2 PARIS-ORLY
General description 1 Paris-Orly is built on a 1,540-hectare site south of Paris. Its location, 10 km from Paris, its immediate proximity to the A86, A6 and A10 motorways and its direct access to the automatic metro line 14, which came into service in June 2024, mean it is within easy reach of the capital centre. Head office with nearly 28,300 direct jobs 1 , the airport is an integral part of an economic centre with more than 157,400 employees 1 including the Rungis national interest market, Sogaris (mixed-economy company for the Rungis bus station) and the Belle-Épine shopping centre. Paris-Orly airport also provides air travel services to a major economic hub hosting many centres of excellence, including in the agri-food, healthcare, finance, aeronautical and eco - business sectors, as well as international competitiveness and research clusters such as Cap digitale, Medicen, Systematic Paris Region, Astech and the Plateau de Saclay. With 175 cities served 2 in 2024, Paris-Orly airport offers a wide range of direct, diversified and constantly expanding medium- and long-haul flights, contributing to the appeal and international reach of the southern part of the Paris region.
The upgrading of the terminal infrastructure and airport services, combined with the economic and tourist appeal of the southern Île-de-France region, are strengths that are likely to attract new direct air travel services that complement the services offered by Paris-Charles de Gaulle, particularly to the world’s main high-growth potential markets (Asia, Africa and the Americas). The nominal capacity of the Paris-Orly hub is estimated at around 34 million passengers a year. Paris-Orly is the second French airport with 33.1 million passengers in 2024, i.e. , 104.0% of the traffic level of 2019. In 2024, the airport carried out a major accessibility transformation. It is now served by metro line 14 since 24 June 2024, and a new multimodal station has been opened at the heart of the platform. Work to improve the means of access to the hub continues to accommodate the terminus of the new line 18 in 2027, which will provide a rail connection to Massy TGV station, the Saclay plateau and Versailles by 2030. In 2024, Paris-Orly was voted "Best Regional Airport" in Europe and also continued its rise in the Skytrax 2024 rankings, moving up 9 place since 2023 and 46 places since 2021, and now in 30 th position worldwide.
