Paris-Orly airport returns to normal, ensuring full flight schedule soon.

The **air traffic control tool**, which has largely disrupted traffic at **Paris-Orly airport** since Sunday, has been repaired on Monday, and the flight program is expected to be assured normally from **Tuesday**, the **General Directorate of Civil Aviation** (**DGAC**) announced.

“All the actions carried out by the DGAC teams have enabled a return to a normal technical state now [Monday evening] and ensure the entire flight program in the coming days” specifies a press release published Monday evening. “Only a few delays related to the disorganization of traffic could still be noted” he adds.

On **Sunday**, the air controllers of **Paris-Orly** had to switch to the **rescue system**, “In accordance with procedures” because of “Difficulties observed on the radar visualization tool used” by the control tower, according to the DGAC.

As a result, the organization had to ask the airlines to reduce their flight programs by **40% on Sunday** and **15% on Monday**. On Sunday, around **130 flights were canceled**, according to **Aéroports de Paris** (**ADP**).

“They made us disembark”

Thousands of passengers who were to take off from **Orly** or land there had seen their flight canceled at the last minute, sometimes even when they were already installed on the plane.

“We were on the plane, all seated and surrounded, ready to leave, when they made us disembark and collect our luggage … then struggle” had told the agency **France-Presse**
**Azgal Abichou**, 63-year-old business manager.

In its press release Monday evening, the **DGAC** “Thanks again the airlines and airports in Paris for their collaboration, and apologizes to travelers affected by these disturbances”.

**Paris-Orly airport**, located **10 kilometers south of Paris**, saw more than **33 million passengers** pass in **2024**, half less than **Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle airport**, located about **twenty kilometers north**, according to **ADP** figures.
