Air France has officially ended its operations at Orly airport, marking the conclusion of an 80-year presence. The airline is shifting its focus to Charles de Gaulle airport, primarily due to a decrease in passenger demand influenced by the rise of video conferencing and reduced domestic business travel since the Covid pandemic. The last flight was an air shuttle from Nice, with only limited services to Corsica remaining. Air France's budget subsidiary Transavia will continue to operate at Orly.
