Guide to Paris Orly Airport (ORY / LFPO)
Updated Saturday 25th July, 2009
Paris and Frances’ second airport is still well worth a visit with major North African and American carriers along with the IT carriers such as TUI – Corsair, can be seen. The airport has 3 runways. 06/24, 04/26 & 02/20 and each can be viewed with a varying degree of success, however the latter is rarely used and it appears it is never used for arrivals as there is no tell tail rubber deposits at either end. When the aircraft arrive from the east then 26 is used and when from the west, 06 is used. Unlike CDG, no letters are required and the police did ‘t bother us, that can, of course, change.
