Will Orly airport be able to reopen earlier than what had been imagined? This was advanced last Sunday by the Secretary of State for Transport, Jean-Baptiste Djebbari.

Closed since the beginning of April due to the coronavirus epidemic, the airport could reopen on June 26 under certain conditions. The first, "is that the health situation is improving and continues to improve," said Jean-Baptiste Djebbari.
The second, “is that we find or harmonize health measures with our European and Mediterranean neighbors. Everyone understands that if everyone has their measure in their own corner, it will not work, ”continued the Secretary of State for Transport. He added that the operators must finally come up with "a solid flight program". "I asked them to produce a flight program for June 15," he said.
“Under these conditions (…), we should be able to reopen Orly on June 26 but, I say, it is if all of these conditions are met,” warned Jean-Baptiste Djebbari. Asked about the moment from which the French will be able to book plane tickets on departure or arrival from Orly, in the event that the airport reopens on June 26, he simply replied that the authorities would have "ended. May early June a much clearer vision of the health situation and the projections that we will be able to make for the month of June and summer ”.

No indication for holiday bookings

"So, meet in late May or early June to make all these decisions" which particularly interest candidates for departures during the summer holidays, he concluded.
Last Wednesday, nine airlines (including Air Caraïbes and Corsair) based at the airport in the south of the Paris region asked the State, in an open letter, to set now Friday, June 26, the date for the reopening of the l 'airport. The main Ile-de-France and French airport, Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle, located to the north-east of the capital, has remained open, but operates at a very reduced pace.
