As of March 29, 2026, Air France has ceased all operations at Paris Orly (ORY), ending an 80-year presence. The airline is consolidating its domestic and international network at Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG), while low-cost carrier Transavia expands its Orly service

## Summary

Air France has officially ended all flights at Paris Orly Airport (ORY) as of March 29, 2026, coinciding with the start of the IATA summer schedule. This move consolidates the carrier's entire domestic and international network at its primary hub, Paris Charles de Gaulle (CDG). The decision follows a 2023 announcement to discontinue Orly service. Key drivers include a 40% drop in domestic traffic from 2019-2023, a 60% fall in day-return trips, and French bans on domestic flights with under-four-hour train connections. While Air France is leaving, low-cost subsidiary Transavia is increasing service at Orly, taking over the Air France lounge and adding new Flying Blue elite perks. All Air France employees based at Orly were offered positions at CDG
