History and dates

The beginnings

Port-Aviation , based in Viry-Chtillon , near the Seine, is the first aerodrome at organized world . This is where most are held air shows of the era. The site of the current Paris-Orly, Longboyau Plateau, east of Route Nationale 7, was then occupied by fields. These fields will serve as emergency landing at Port Aviation , for example during the floods of 1910 that made it unusable. At the beginning of the First World War , the site, easily identifiable and accessible emergency field serves to allied planes, and farmers of the plateau are frequently arise.

On ¹ January 1918 , the Defense Ministry requisitioned eleven hectares on the plateau Longboyau and built a hangar. This is the beginning of the airfield as "Orly - Villeneuve. More and more planes are sent to the front from the ground. On 31 March 1918 , during the First World War, Americans set their air base on the plateau of Orly. In early 1919, the department stores General of Civil Aviation (SEGA) was installed at Orly. It is supported by the U.S. military to store the overhead of war . On the military level, the French , the Belgians and Americans come together until 1919.

After 1918

Orly airport around 1926.

After the First World War, the land was essentially for the military Navy. Two huge warehouses were built to house airships , paid as war reparations by Germany to France. But airships are lost in the Mediterranean , and the warehouses will be occupied by aircraft. The pilot Henri Guillaumet was trained at the military school at Orly.

Already a civilian airport is located north of the site, allowing civilian passenger aircraft. Several flight schools are located in Orly, like that of Charles Nungesser , in which the aviator Hlne Boucher will make its first flights. The land is also home to most meetings of the aeronautical age.

During the Second World War , the land is first attacked by the Luftwaffe , and then became a German military base. It is systematically bombed by Allied aircraft, and 23 August 1944 , the U.S. Air Force moved to Orly. At this time the old control tower is built, still visible today, as well as north-south runways (02/20) of which is now defunct, but still present.

Postwar

Old control tower at Orly, still visible today. The radar TA23 left no longer exists and has been dismantled and replaced by a radar STAR 2000.

In 1945 , the company Aeroports de Paris is created, responsible for operating airports around Paris. On 7 November 1946 , Americans make the management of the airport to France . A temporary terminal, right next to the old control tower is built, as well as track 3 2 100 meters long. In 1948 was inaugurated the North Terminal, now destroyed. The Le Bourget airport is still for a short time, the main airport in Paris. The airshow is held at Orly.

In 1947 , the Navy returned to Orly. In 1950 on the last airshow on the site. But even then, the need for a new civilian airport near Paris will give a boost, and the final prevalence in civil activity. Air France left Le Bourget airport to Orly on 28 November 1952 . The airport of Le Bourget airshow recovers, now the famous Paris Air Show. That year, with 1.2 million passengers, Orly already hosts more than twice as many passengers as the Paris-Le Bourget. The era of the Navy is finally ending ¹ March 1954. Orly airport becomes a fully civilian.

The French army and the U.S. military, however, continue to use occasionally at Paris-Orly, and until today. For example, Orly is that parties are the last French troops to the Indo-China , on 3 May 1954.

Late 1960 , the airport occupies "the fifth area of Paris (1080 + 410 additional hectares)" and has an area of 15,600 square meters of warehouses, which ranks as the first time in continental Europe .

The Navy Orly between 1927 and 1954

Orly airport around 1938.

In the 1920s, the Navy created what was then called the Maritime and Aviation is today The Naval Aviation and Naval Aviation. Aerospace manufacturers are almost all located in the Paris region, the Navy is therefore seeking a place for him to receive the aircraft spare parts, assemble and test them before sending them to their duty stations.

It will be first to Nanterre , and then on the airfield St. Cyr l'Ecole in Yvelines that sailors settle. Lastly, and need for expansion of its premises, the Navy arrives at Orly on ¹ April 1927. It retrieves the infrastructure became free because of the shutdown of airships civilians, including two huge concrete warehouses built by the engineer Eugene Freyssinet. This new database becomes the Navy Warehouse General Aviation Maritime and later the General warehouse of Naval Aviation.

In June 1940 , following the advance of Nazi troops in Paris, the Navy evacuates EGAN to Rochefort in Charente-Maritime eventually transferred Cuers in the Var. At the Liberation of Paris , the Americans moved to Orly. Admiral Nomy, head of Naval Aviation, to recover from the U.S. Navy's return to Orly. Not without difficulty obtain the 31S squadron, then based in Mureaux in Yvelines , to create a stopover at Orly for its larger aircraft and four engines including Bloch 161 Languedoc and Brittany SO 30P. This squadron is then responsible for transporting personnel from the Navy, mainly from metropolitan France to North Africa. This return of the Navy at Orly will however short lived because in 1954, will migrate to the 31S Dugny Le Bourget to make room for construction equipment that will begin building the international airport and the Paris-Orly terminal at Orly South.

Until the 1980s , a bus stop named RATP Navy still remembered that presence at Orly. Some people in town have also today still remember the image of the huge dirigible hangars. Some of them have even worked on the camp from Orly to the Navy .

The South Terminal, the "Sunday at Orly"

View Orly South Terminal and the control tower. In the foreground you can see the VOR / DME OL airport. Above the tower you can see the radome housing the radar ground Astre 2000.

The South Terminal ( 1957 - one thousand nine hundred and sixty ) devotes a marked evolution. It was officially inaugurated on 24 February 1961 by General de Gaulle ^, . Its architecture is innovative ( see below ). To expand the airport, many lands have been requisitioned, and will continue to be in the following years. Nationale 7 is deflected westward to pass just below Orly South. This allows for faster service to the airport from Paris.

In subsequent years, the South Terminal is visited by tourists who come to spend their "Sunday at Orly." Many shops in the terminal, which hosts a cinema with two more rooms , attract tourists and locals. A famous song by Gilbert Becaud speaks of these Sundays at Orly. The South Terminal is now a symbol of luxury and modernity, a showcase for France, which continues to inspire. It sometimes crosses the biggest stars who are photographed. In 1963 , more than three million visitors came to non-passengers, making this terminal the most visited monument in France, with the Eiffel Tower. The number of tourists reached even 4 million in 1965.

Airport progressively equips adequate facilities. In 1953, the first radar is introduced. In 1957 , a VOR is installed, allowing a more precise approach to the airport, and at the satisfaction of local residents who complain about the noise.

On 3 June 1962 on Boeing 707 F-BHSM of Air France chartered by a cultural group from Atlanta and flights to New York crashed during takeoff. There were 132 people aboard, 130 were killed. The only survivors were two air hostesses who were sitting in the back of the unit. They were only slightly injured. At that time it was the record for most number of deaths in the crash of a single plane.

Traffic growth is such that the South Terminal welcomes 6 million passengers in 1965 , and 9 million in 1969 , is half more than its theoretical capacity. In 1966 was inaugurated a new control tower at Orly, still in use today. Meanwhile, a new track, called 'Track 4' is constructed. In addition, transfer to Rungis the international market favors growth of freight activity.

But now, the rapid urbanization of the suburbs of Paris makes it difficult cohabitation between the residents and the airport. The curfew night 23 pm 30-6 pm 0 am come into force in April 1968 by ministerial decision.

From the 1970s

To cope with passenger traffic continues to rise, the construction of Terminal West, also designed by Henry Vicariot , was launched in 1967. It entered service on 26 February 1971 , after 40 months of work. It is organized according to a new scheme for the time: the first floor departures and arrivals on the ground floor. Orly South Terminal will be reorganized later in a similar pattern. Terminal West will of extensions thereafter.

But the Paris-Orly, so lack of space to grow, the area is already highly urbanized, and the limited land available. To meet its saturation announced, the Paris-Roissy airport into service in 1974.

On 11 July 1973 , a Boeing 707 of the Brazilian airline Varig making the connection from Rio to Paris crashes near Orly after a fire broke aboard. There are 123 deaths of 134 people on board.

On 3 March 1974 the Turkish Airlines flight 981 to London crashed into the forest Ermenonville, shortly after taking off from Orly. This incident, known for disaster Ermenonville is due to a problem closing door. The decompression blew the McDonnell Douglas DC-10, killing all 346 passengers on board.

The target of attacks

On 13 January 1975 an attack took place at Orly. Terrorists supported by the PFLP , with Carlos at their head, shoot a rocket launcher on a airliner Israeli El-Al , but miss. Plane Yugoslav is affected by three wounded. The terrace Orly South will be closed to the public after the event. Gradually, many companies leave Orly to Roissy. Gradually, the terminal loses its attendance tourism , and film is finally closed in 1992 .

On 7 July 1983 , Orly receives for the first time a hijacked plane. This is a Boeing 747 of Iran Air in which control was taken by six moujahiddins weapon and explosives and against the Iranian political system. The event ended without casualties after a responsible moujahiddin present in France comes from the control tower, to convince the terrorists to surrender.

From the 1990s

In 1991 the association is created Orlyval to link the airport to Antony station. It uses the automatic transport system VAL which was developed for a href = "% C3% M A9tro_de_Lille" alt = "Metro de Lille" class = "mw-redirect"> subway of Lille and is now also used in Rennes , in Toulouse , the United States and Paris-CDG.

These 1990's marked a turning point in the Paris airport. Indeed, before 1992, Orly airport is the "leader" of the city while Roissy-Charles de Gaulle is seen as a platform away some flights booked long haul. Air France, then headed by Christian Blanc, however, built at Roissy its hub. It's a real platform correspondence to ensure a permanent connection between long-haul and medium-mail to retrieve many passengers to foreign companies. This strategy proved very effective and is attracting many companies who want to get closer to the hub. Gradually, the activity is reduced in favor Orly Roissy which hosts more passengers quickly. Roissy password then head of the Paris airports and the development priority is given to him.

Orly changes its vocation. It becomes essentially an airport destinations Metropolitan, North Africa and the overseas territories after the departure for Roissy many long-haul flights and much of the freight business. This vocation is confirmed with the creation of Air France shuttles that serve the largest French cities: Toulouse , Nice , Bordeaux and Marseille. Frequent shuttles and airlines cheap gradually democratize air travel and make it easier.

Also, during the 1990s, Orly know almost 2 times a plane crash.

• On October 22, 1993, an Airbus A320 of Air Inter departed in haste to escape demonstrators strikers in the restricted area of Orly. In the confusion, the crew forgets to enter the train and quickly felt vibrations in the plane. The crew believed to engine failure and cut successively transforming the Airbus glider. Realizing his mistake, the pilot restarts the engine within 500 m from the ground and returned to Orly .

During the 2000s , extensive renovation of airport terminals, runways and tarmac are launched. Hall 2 of Terminal West is renovated in 2006 . In 2008 , the international circuits of the South Terminal are rearranged: the flows of departure and arrival times are separated, a large shopping area and a unique boarding are created .

From 16 to 19 April 2010, Orly has been closed to traffic because of the Icelandic volcano eruptions Eyjafjll. The cloud of ash emitted passed through France and through that cloud is a hazard to aircraft.

Proposed renovation and extension

• The year 2010 starts on a large project called "Heart of Orly. The objective of Aroports de Paris is to create an international business district on 15 acres that will include offices, an international congress center, a four star hotel and a shopping and services. The 'Orly Heart "will be developed around the former N7 (east of the N7 today) and will be accessible by the existing service (RER, VAL) and future (tram Villejuif - Juvisy , TGV). In the long term, Aeroports de Paris has a land area of more than 100 acres to develop this entire business district .
• Aeroports de Paris expects the renovation of Halls 3 and 4 of the terminal for the mid-west in 2015 , and renovation of Hall 1 for mid- 2019 .
• At Orly-South, a new satellite for international traffic, could enter service in 2020 .

• 24.82 million passengers in 2005 (for comparison: 54 million in Roissy, 9.8 million and 6.5 million for Nice to Lyon Saint-Exupery), for a theoretical capacity of 30 million passengers. They are distributed as follows:
  • 51.8% for domestic traffic,
  • 19.8% for Europe,
  • 10.8% for DOM-TOM

• 37 airlines.
• Served 309 cities (294 in 2004).

Figures for 2006

The traffic was up 3.1% at Paris-Orly with 25,622,152 passengers, according to ADP and 25,603,532 according to the DGAC. The number of aircraft movements rose by 2.9% to 229 371. These figures reflect the increasing rate of aircraft load (66.1% in 2006 against 65.7% in 2005) and payload (114 passengers per flight in 2006 against 113 in 2005).

One can notice limited freight traffic, which shows the vocation of the Paris-Orly airport to be a passenger. There are few aircraft specifically cargo landing at Orly Airport, the cargo being transported rather in the holds of passenger aircraft.

Architecture and notable buildings

Orly Sud

Plaque commemorating the inauguration of the airport of Orly South

The construction of the terminal at Orly South began in February 1957 and was completed in February 1961. The terminal has marked the development of the airport and gave him an international reputation. It was inaugurated by General de Gaulle, adding a word still famous in the history of the airport: "If ever a book justified the pride of those who built their brains and their hands, good one here at the meeting of heaven and earth ... ". Its architecture, designed by Henry Vicariot is entirely metal-based methods imported from North America ( Lever House ). The extensive use of steel in the aluminum , and curtain walls (the first in France), is then a major technical innovation.

The National 7 was diverted during the construction of the terminal. This is the first time that this axis is traced from the period Roman. She now goes under the South Terminal, and under the taxiways, and sometimes the driver sees an airplane maneuver just above him. From a distance, he sees the flicker Terminal, and lock dramatically axis to Paris.

View on the N7 up to Paray-Vieille-Poste , showing the north side of the airport of Orly South and the control tower.

The terminal is deployed to the tracks in front of a bar over 700 meters long, consisting of a main building with 200 yards and two side piers. It is 70 meters deep. This arrangement allows a maximum of 300 meters off the path of travel, significantly less than the distance to reach the head of a train on a station platform.

The great hall on the first floor, at the time of an unknown dimension in a public building, and gives the visitor a remarkable sense of space, thanks to its bright and airy atmosphere. Curtain walls offer stunning views of the tarmac and can observe the activity around planes, which seem within reach. The luxury shopping, movies, access to terraces, bars, restaurants will make it a major tourist attraction. In the 1960 and 1970, this terminal will be a showcase of France. The success is such that the terminal will become the most visited monument in France to the Eiffel Tower.

The atmospheric sound has also been carefully thought out to give a feeling calmer than that prevailing in the stations of the time. More than 3000 speakers low noise level are divided into the terminal. A sweet female voice recites the most exotic destinations. Service messages are not sent by the speaker, but by radio to each agent, thus relieving the visitor information that does not help him.

The airport has grown since the jetty was completed in 1962.

Orly West

The construction of Orly West is launched in 1967 and was inaugurated on 24 February 1971. Halls 2 (renovated in 2006 to accommodate the flights "The Shuttle" Air France) and 3 were opened that day. It was designed by architects Vicariot, Coutant, Vigouroux and Laroche. In 1986, Hall 4 is activated. Hall 1 was opened in 1993 , designed by Paul Andreu.

Its architecture is also metal. Most importantly, the design is innovative. The terminal is designed to facilitate boarding of passengers quickly and efficiently.

Firstly, the levels are separated, first floor for boarding, and the ground floor for arrivals. Then the distribution hall allows the passenger to quickly find your boarding counter. Finally, the deployment of gateways, the first in France, allows rapid boarding passengers directly from the terminal on the plane.

Upstairs there is a world called "Astrolabe" , became an emblem Orly West, purporting to represent the solar system.

The house of the Environment

The house of the Environment.

Home Environment Orly airport is a place for information and documentation to the general public. This place can discover the history of the airport, air traffic procedures and activities of the stopover at the airport. Exhibits on the environment, prevention and control of air traffic pollution are frequently organized. Former air traffic controllers at Orly will make shifts to provide all the necessary explanations to visitors. Local residents can view them flight paths, in case of dispute. The primary role of this institution dependent ADP is to enable better communication with the airport Orly residents around. Each year, meetings are held on public display aeronautical training.

This contemporary building ( 1995 ) is a true copy of a house built at Roissy Environment by ADP, on plans by architect Paul Andreu , designer of the terminals of Roissy and the Peking Opera. Very light and giving a panoramic view of the Orly airport, is surrounded by plantations charms.

The building is open Monday through Friday from 9 am to 16 pm 30. Admission and parking are free.

Other Buildings

The flag of honor

Flag of honor Orly seen from the side of the public area.

The President of the United States , Barack Obama at Orly June 5, 2009 for his first official visit to France.

A flag of honor is at Orly, located just off the West Terminal. It allows the reception of heads of state and other political leaders of all countries when traveling airborne. The ceremonies are taking place more or less prestigious as requested by the country's delegation. They are under the close supervision of law enforcement to counter any risk of attack. This pavilion welcomes the popes of the Catholic church while traveling in France. Benedict XVI has received September 12, 2008. It is surrounded by poles on which hang the flags of countries allowed. His nickname is "hut" as his first guest was Nikita Khrushchev , Chairman of the Council of Ministers (Government) of the former USSR. There was an old wooden pavilion transferred as terminal at the airport Toussus-le-Noble where he accidentally burned.

Control Center Started

Directly next to Paris-Orly (specifically in Athis-Mons) is the Control Center Started (CCR), also known as Centre Road Air Navigation (ACC). This center is used to control air planes when cruising, taking charge for overflights of the Paris region as well as regulations for departures and approaches of airports sector, including Orly and Roissy.

The Central

The central plot is a building that often passengers and visitors. It was from there that all water distributed from the airport, either for drinking water, or for air conditioning. This is also what is received, processed, and redistributed all electricity in the airport.

Control Tower

The control tower. In the background, the West Terminal.

The control tower was built in 1966 next to the South Terminal, in the same style as the terminal, forming with it a harmonious whole. It is 54 meters high. She has a look, and a room IFR . That's where managed air traffic on the tarmac at Orly, and in the airspace of approach. Air traffic control also manages Orly approach Aerodrome Toussus-le-Noble and Velizy-Villacoublay.

The old control tower

The old control tower, built in 1945 by the American military is still visible today. She still has the same appearance at the time.

The dispatch center areas

The dispatch center of apron areas, abbreviated ARC, was in a small tower sometimes confused with the control tower. It is situated directly opposite the terminals at Orly South, on the other side of a taxiway called "W1". It was used to determine parking planes and send them the various resources needed to stop (tractor stool gear ...). This small tower is no longer used and the allocation of aircraft parking areas and resources is from the "flag Bleriot" in Terminal Orly South. The term "ARC" has disappeared in favor of the designation "PC Resources".

The waiting area

Orly airport also has a waiting area where are placed persons who are refused entry into France as well as asylum seekers awaiting processing of their application for entry under the asylum (see also section Asylum in France ). Ensures there is no association of presence and regular visits by judges elected or allowed to return are rare .

Basin of activity and noise

The situation at Paris-Orly, near the A6 motorway and the A86 motorway , has raised business areas, including Rungis nearby, but also in other cities around the airport. Multiple warehouses and businesses are located, such as at Massy. The result is a large pool of jobs and the development of common surroundings, despite the nuisance and easements. Between 25,000 and 29,000 people work directly or indirectly to the airport, causing a major economic activity in the Commons Area.

On behalf of environmental respect that some associations require alternative study on the merits of the economic development of the Paris-Orly airport is completed.

Although the airport is located on only 7 municipalities, over 45 complain of noise and air pollution that span the southern Paris. Residents and municipalities have created more than one hundred associations to oppose the increase of these nuisances, and demand the creation of another large airport in the Paris basin.

The planes are supposed to follow well defined paths, but do not always comply.

EPV (volume of environmental protection) define corridors required for takeoffs and landings.

Despite requests from residents wishing to file complaints to an independent, local residents can complain to the House Environmental Orly managed by the airport manager, and to visualize the trajectories of aircraft.

Disputed cases are tried and punished by CNPN ACNUSA.

The complaints mainly concern the Essonne (46%) and Val-de-Marne (40%). There were 1 757 in 2003, 1,788 in 2004 and 753 in 2005. The main reasons are :

Cause Share Many overflights 35% Overflights unusual 34% Low altitude 7% Night traffic 1% Noise 1% Turns Advance 1% Other 21%
Breakdown of complaints by residents of Orly.

Four stations measure the sound level of aircraft parts around Orly (Stained glass network).

To address these problems, efforts are being made to insulate homes. Use of the north-south runway (02/20) is very rare for the avoidance of highly urbanized areas. In addition, the airport is closed to traffic from 23 pm 30-6 pm 0 am (ministerial decision of 4 April 1968 ), but exceptions can sometimes be granted. An Order of Operations 6 October 1994 sets a limit of 250,000 time slots for approximately 200,000 aircraft movements per year.

But the closing night (which can not be questioned without creating a violent opposition from Southerners Francilien) tends to favor the withdrawal from the freight business to the airport of Roissy. This is what the airmail, which was installed at Roissy and maintains only limited activity at Orly. Some municipalities, aware of this problem are afraid of losing jobs direct or indirect loss that adds to the impoverishment of their cities subject to nuisances (noise pollution).

Discussions to reconcile the nuisance and economic interests for all actors and locals, are sometimes difficult. The debate comes up regularly on the front of the stage, for example during the commissioning of the reorganization of air corridors in the south of Paris in 2003.
