About Orly Airport

Paris - Orly Airport (ORY) is an airport located partially in Orly and partially in Villeneuve-le-Roi, south of Paris, France. It has flights to cities in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean, and North America. Orly is older than Charles de Gaulle Airport, and was the main airport of Paris before Charles de Gaulle Airport was constructed. Even with the shift of most international traffic to Charles de Gaulle Airport, Orly remains the busiest French airport for domestic traffic and the second busiest French airport overall in terms of passenger boardings.

Originally known as Villeneuve-Orly Airport, Orly Airport was opened in the southern suburbs of Paris in 1932 as a secondary airport to Le Bourget. Before this two huge airship hangars had been built there by the famous engineer Eugène Freyssinet from 1923 on.
