Since 10 August 2026, one of the three runways at Paris-Orly airport has been closed for a full renovation. According to the French Ministry of Ecological Transition, runway 4 stays closed until 17 December 2026 inclusive. Here is what it means if you land at Orly this autumn.
What is happening
- Groupe ADP, the airport operator, is fully renovating runway 4 to European standards: new surface, aircraft taxiways and markings.
- During the works, all landings and take-offs use the two other runways.
- Orly’s night curfew (11:30 pm to 6 am) still applies.
- With reduced capacity, several thousand flights have been cancelled, rescheduled or moved to Paris-Charles de Gaulle over the whole period, according to the operator and the airlines.
What it means for you
- Check your arrival airport. Some flights have been moved from Orly to Charles de Gaulle. Check your booking a few days before you travel.
- Expect delays at peak times, especially early morning and late afternoon.
- Don’t book a transfer for a fixed time. Give your flight number instead: your chauffeur follows the actual landing time.
