Paris-Orly Airport operations resume after major air traffic control failure

France’s civil aviation authority, the DGAC, announced that operations at Paris-Orly Airport are gradually normalizing following a significant air traffic control system failure that caused widespread disruptions over the weekend.
Despite progress, delays and cancellations persist into Monday, impacting thousands of travelers.
The DGAC reported that airlines have been directed to reduce flight schedules by 15% on Monday, a step down from the 40% reduction enforced on Sunday to alleviate congestion. “Delays are still expected,” the DGAC stated, advising passengers to verify flight statuses with airlines before traveling to the airport.
The cause of the system breakdown, which led to flight cancellations and delays across Europe and beyond, remains undisclosed as authorities and technical teams work to pinpoint and address the issue. Paris-Orly, the capital’s second-largest airport after Charles de Gaulle, is a vital hub for domestic and international flights, handling over 33 million passengers in 2024, according to Aeroport de Paris.
Flights to destinations such as Italy, Spain, Portugal, and southern France were among the hardest hit on Monday, with numerous services canceled or grounded. The DGAC emphasized ongoing efforts to resolve the malfunction and prevent further disruptions in the days ahead. (ILKHA)
