Orly Airport

What Orly Airport does

Orly Airport, as represented in the input data, refers to "Aéroport-Paris-Orly.com," a personal hobby website created by Jean-Charles Dayot in 2019 that chronicles the history of Paris-Orly Airport (IATA: ORY) in France. The site functions as an archival content platform, documenting airline operators across the airport's four terminals (Orly 1–4), passenger statistics (noting a record 34,925,725 passengers in 2025 and 245,300 flight movements in 1996), historical accidents (including Turkish Airlines Flight 981 in 1974, Varig Flight 820 in 1973, and Air France Flight 007 in 1962), aircraft logs, postcards, and press reviews. It explicitly is not affiliated with Aéroroports de Paris (ADP Group), the actual operator of the physical airport.

The website catalogs 26+ airlines operating at Orly, ranging from flag carriers (Air France, Iberia, ITA Airways, Royal Air Maroc, Tunisair, LOT Polish Airlines, TAP Air Portugal, Air Algerie) to low-cost carriers (easyJet, Vueling, Wizz Air, Transavia, Pegasus, Volotea, Frenchbee) and regional/tour operators (Air Corsica, Chalair, Twin Jet, Amelia, Corsair, TUI Airways, La Compagnie). It is organized into navigation sections covering news, airlines (alphabetized), routes, mediathèque (postcards, documents, media, objects, personalities), historical accident archives by decade, reportage series on aircraft, buildings, and events, and ancillary resources.

From a commercial standpoint, the site has no disclosed revenue model, pricing, funding, employees, partnerships, or institutional parent. The only commercial artifact visible is a PayPal donation button on the homepage. The physical Paris-Orly Airport itself, which this website documents, is operated by Groupe ADP and recorded approximately 34.9 million passengers in 2025, making it France's second-busiest airport after Charles de Gaulle, but that operating entity is not the subject of the data provided here.
