INNOVATING TO PRODUCE RESULTS
PARIS-ORLY
THE AIRPORT ON THE OUTSKIRTS OF PARIS Located 12 km south of Paris, Paris-Orly Airport is easily accessible and is dedicated to point-topoint traffic. Its three runways allow traffic to move freely and reduce taxiing time: six minutes on average between the runway and the terminal. Runway 3 is accessible by all types of aircraft. The airport offers 104 aircraft parking stands. Aircraft movement capacity is 76 per hour, but their number is capped at 250,000 per year and flights are not allowed between 11.30 pm and 6 am. The West and South terminals can accommodate a total of 27 million passengers per year. 87% OF PASSENGERS ARE SATISFIED The second-largest airport in France and the 13th largest in Europe, Paris-Orly welcomed a record 28.9 million passengers in 2014. Traffic is driven by Schengen-zone destinations, as well as international destinations. Underpinned by the airport’s high-quality passenger experience and the constant improvement in its facilities, customer satisfaction among arriving passengers is 87%. CONNECTION BUILDING To better meet the expectations of airlines and passengers, Aéroports de Paris has undertaken a vast programme to transform the airport. The outside areas and access to the terminals will be overhauled, a departure lounge of nearly 215,000 sq. ft. will be created to the east of the South terminal for international flights, all baggage systems will be fully revamped and an 860,000 sq. ft. connection building is to be constructed between 2015 and 2018 to link the two terminals.

These changes will give passengers more space, comfort, services and shops, and give airlines more flexibility. This building will serve as a departure terminal for the Orly South and West terminals and will handle international flights both inside and outside the Schengen area. INITIAL SUCCESSES After a year and a half of renovation work, completed in June 2014, the esplanades have been improved and the terminal approaches have been harmonised, the first major step in this transformation. Traffic and vehicle / passenger flows have been simplified. Access has been rebalanced to connect pedestrians more easily and safely to the tram that has served the airport since 2013; in future, they will connect to the metro and the TGV station planned as part of the Greater Paris project.
In 2014, 34 airlines(1) 150 cities served 28.9 million passengers welcomed up 2.1% from 2013
(1) with a minimum of 12 aircraft movements in the year.
