Paris Orly

US routes: 4
Flights: 1,800 both ways
Carriers: 2
Departures on time: 70.4% YTD

Paris Orly had 1,800 flights to and from the United States in the twelve months to June 2026, about two departures a day in each direction spread over 4 US routes, the busiest being Newark (EWR) with 1,109. EUROCONTROL has 70.4% of all its departures leaving within 15 minutes of schedule this year and 77.5% of arrivals landing within 15 minutes, from about 305 departures a day; on arrival punctuality that is 19th of the 41 European airports here with US service. France publishes no route-level punctuality, so the US routes below are described by frequency and carrier rather than by delay.

On departure punctuality Paris Orly stands 23rd of 41: Stockholm Arlanda leads at 84.0% and Lisbon trails at 57.5%. By transatlantic volume it is 27th of the 45 European airports with a page here; London Heathrow leads with 81,419 flights. Punctuality and volume do not move together: a hub's transatlantic bank is scheduled around its own connecting flights, and the arrivals that feed it are where the delay comes in.

Punctuality

How Paris Orly is running

Over the seven days to 21 October 2026, 55.6% of departures and 58.5% of arrivals were within 15 minutes, 15 points worse than the year to date. 95.1% of scheduled flights have operated this year, the remainder cancelled or never filed. Air traffic flow management delay charged to the airport, the minutes the network held flights on the ground elsewhere to protect it, averaged 1.4 per arrival this year and 5.8 over the last week. These are whole-airport figures from EUROCONTROL's Network Manager, published daily and refreshed here with each build; the long-haul bank usually runs a little better than the airport average because wide-body schedules carry more slack.
