Paris Orly Airport (ORY) — The Closer Airport

Paris Orly Airport (IATA: ORY) is France's second-busiest airport and the closest major airport to central Paris — located approximately 13 kilometres south of the city centre. Before the construction of Charles de Gaulle Airport in the 1970s, Orly was Paris's principal gateway. Today it remains the dominant hub for domestic French routes, European low-cost carriers, and routes to French overseas territories and the Maghreb. It is also the preferred airport for travellers staying in South Paris, the Rive Gauche, Montparnasse, and the 13th through 15th arrondissements — for whom Orly's southern position provides a materially shorter transfer than CDG.

Orly has been significantly modernised in recent years. The airport now operates under a unified terminal structure of four zones — Orly 1, 2, 3, and 4 — with the internal Orlyval shuttle connecting all zones within the airport. The new Aéroport d'Orly metro station, part of the Grand Paris Express Line 14 extension, connects the airport directly to central Paris (Olympiades) in approximately 16 minutes — but only in one direction and to specific destinations. For any destination beyond the metro corridor, or for travellers with substantial luggage, a pre-booked private chauffeur remains the most practical and comfortable option.

How It Works

• Flight tracking — your driver monitors your flight from departure, adjusting the pickup time to your actual landing at no extra charge
• Meet and greet — your driver waits in the arrivals hall at the correct terminal zone with a name sign, assists with luggage, and escorts you to the vehicle
• Terminal precision — Orly 1 and 2 for most European carriers; Orly 4 for Air France domestic and some international. Specify your terminal at booking
• Fixed price confirmed in advance — no meter, no surprises
• Door to door — direct to your hotel, residence, or venue anywhere in Paris or Île-de-France

Transfer Destinations & Journey Times from Orly (ORY)

* Approximate times under normal traffic. The A6 and A86 southbound approaches from Orly into Paris experience significant congestion during weekday rush hours (07:30–09:30 and 17:00–20:00). Fashion Week and major event periods add further congestion across the city.

Orly vs CDG — Which Airport for Your Transfer?

Orly's southern position makes it the better option for hotels and addresses in the southern half of Paris — Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Montparnasse, the 13th, 14th, and 15th arrondissements, and for Versailles (only 32 kilometres from Orly, compared to 55 kilometres from CDG). For the northern arrondissements, Opéra, and destinations like Le Bourget or CDG itself, CDG is closer. For Fashion Week venues distributed across central Paris — Grand Palais, Palais de Tokyo, Avenue Montaigne — both airports are roughly equivalent in transfer time.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take from Orly to central Paris?

Orly is the closest major airport to Paris — approximately 13 kilometres from the city centre. By private chauffeur, the journey to most central destinations takes approximately 22 to 40 minutes under normal conditions. For South Paris and the Left Bank (Montparnasse, Saint-Germain, 6th arrondissement), the journey is as short as 20 to 30 minutes. During peak hours, add 15 to 25 minutes.

What are the Orly terminal zones?

Orly operates under four terminal zones following recent renovations: Orly 1 and 2 host easyJet, Transavia, Vueling, and Air Arabia; Orly 3 is the connecting junction between zones; Orly 4 handles Air France domestic and some Air France international operations. All four zones are connected internally and accessible from a single landside arrivals area. Your boarding pass will indicate your specific terminal.

Is the new Line 14 Grand Paris Express metro faster than a private transfer?

Line 14 reaches central Paris (Olympiades / Bibliothèque François Mitterrand) in approximately 16 minutes from Orly — a remarkable improvement for public transport. However, it serves only one corridor of Paris (14th arrondissement southwards). For the 1st to 10th arrondissements, Right Bank hotels, La Défense, and Versailles, a private chauffeur remains significantly more practical for any traveller with luggage.

Is Orly better than CDG for hotel transfers in South Paris?

Yes, materially so. For hotels in the 5th, 6th, 7th, 13th, 14th, and 15th arrondissements, Orly is 8 to 15 kilometres closer than CDG — saving 15 to 25 minutes of transfer time in normal conditions. For Versailles, Orly is over 20 kilometres closer. If your Paris stay is in the southern half of the city and you have a choice of airport, Orly is the more convenient arrival point.

Does the driver wait if my flight is delayed?

Yes. Your driver monitors your flight in real time and adjusts to your actual landing. There is no additional charge for delays within the standard waiting period.
