No public record scores Paris Orly to Miami International flight by flight. The US Department of Transportation's on-time database covers domestic flights only, and in Europe only the United Kingdom publishes punctuality by route, so what follows is built from the three measurements that do exist. The DOT's international report counts 236 flights between the two airports in the twelve months to June 2026, about two departures a week in each direction, flown by French Bee. EUROCONTROL's year-to-date figure has 70.4% of all departures from Paris Orly leaving within 15 minutes of schedule and 77.5% of arrivals landing within 15 minutes. At the other end, 74.2% of MIA's domestic departures arrived on time in the DOT data, which says something about how the airport itself runs, not about this route.

On EUROCONTROL's year-to-date arrival punctuality, Paris Orly ranks 18th of the 41 European airports on this site with service to the United States. Bilbao leads that table at 84.3% and Manchester closes it at 65.7%. A long-haul departure inherits the airport's morning: an aircraft that arrived late from its previous sector, or a departure queue built up by weather, delays the transatlantic wave with everything else.

US DOT, last twelve months of domestic departures

Without a route-level record, the useful question is what the two airports do to a schedule. EUROCONTROL attributes 1.4 minutes of air traffic flow management delay per arriving flight to Paris Orly so far this year; that is delay imposed by the network to hold traffic on the ground elsewhere, not the airline's own. In the DOT data, a delayed domestic departure from MIA ran a little over an hour late on average over the last twelve months, and 1.64% of its scheduled flights were cancelled.

Carrier by carrier

Who flies ORY to MIA

French Bee is the only carrier the DOT report shows on ORY to MIA, with 236 flights and an average of 359 passengers aboard each. A single-carrier route gives a delayed passenger no same-day alternative on the same ticket, which is worth knowing before booking a tight onward connection.

Across the year

How often ORY to MIA flies through the year

The DOT's international report puts 28 flights on the pair in July 2025, the busiest month of the window, and 0 in June 2026, the thinnest. A summer-to-winter swing of that size means the winter schedule is a different operation: fewer frequencies, so a cancellation leaves a longer wait for the next seat.

The arrival airport

Landing at Miami International

Miami International is scored on this site from the DOT's domestic data: 74.2% of its 111,132 domestic departures arrived on time over the last twelve months, with delayed flights running a little over an hour late, and 1.64% were cancelled. Those are domestic flights, not this route, but an arriving transatlantic flight shares the same runways, the same weather and the same ground delay programmes, so a bad day at MIA reaches a flight from ORY just as surely. The airport's own page has the hour-by-hour and month-by-month detail, and its live FAA status appears above when the FAA has something to say.

Weather, air traffic control restrictions and strikes outside the airline are the usual exemptions. The return flight from MIA is covered only when the carrier is EU based. The sector is about 4,576 miles, 7,363 km, which puts it in the top distance band.

What to do with this

Booking ORY to MIA

There is no grade to give ORY to MIA without a route record, and this site does not invent one. What the three sources support: about two departures a week in each direction, a single carrier, a departure airport that gets 70% of its departures away on time and an arrival airport that runs 74% on time domestically. Leave two hours for any onward connection at MIA; immigration comes before the connecting flight.

France publishes no route-level punctuality, so this page cannot grade the route. The UK pages in this section can, because the CAA does.
