Paris Orly Airport (ORY)
Paris Orly Airport (ORY)
Paris Orly Airport (ORY) is the second-largest international gateway serving the French capital, located just 13 km south of the city center. Serving as a primary hub for domestic travel and a significant base for flights to Europe, Africa, the Middle East, and the Caribbean, Orly offers a more compact and often more convenient alternative to Charles de Gaulle. The airport features four interconnected terminal areas—Orly 1, 2, 3, and 4—seamlessly linked by the automated Orlyval shuttle and now directly connected to central Paris via the rapid Metro Line 14.
