## Description

Two airports serve Paris, and they divide the labour: while Charles de Gaulle handles the big intercontinental cargo flows, Paris-Orly (IATA: ORY, ICAO: LFPO) has carved out a niche in overseas France. Air Caraïbes, French bee, Corsair and Air Austral fly dense long-haul schedules to the Caribbean and Indian Ocean, and their bellies carry substantial freight – bananas from Guadeloupe, vanilla from Réunion, mail for the Antilles – alongside passenger baggage. Total volume stays in the high five-digit tonnage range, yet it is strategically indispensable for supplying the overseas départements. Orly is France's second-busiest airport with around 35 million passengers in 2025, but the picture shifted in March 2026, when Air France ended 80 years at Orly and consolidated at CDG; its domestic routes to Nice, Marseille and Toulouse now run under group affiliate Transavia France, with a subsidised Corsica link retained. The field lies just 13 kilometres south of Paris in Val-de-Marne – closer to the city than CDG, but bound by a strict 23:30–06:00 night curfew that effectively rules out freighter operations. Since summer 2024 the extended Métro line 14 has linked Orly to central Paris in about 25 minutes, complementing the A6 and A106 motorways. For forwarders: time-critical overseas shipments fly belly out of Orly, while intercontinental heavy freight is booked via CDG.
