PRESENTAT I ON OF THE GROUP 1 MAIN PLATFORMS
A suitable infrastructure There are three runways at Paris-Orly with a scheduling capacity of 72 aircraft movements per hour 1 . In 2021, Orly Airport welcomed 118,557 movements, up 43% on 2020, (marked by three months of closure in the 2 nd quarter), but still down by 46% compared to 2019, the last year before the health crisis. Taking into account the commissioning of the new aircraft stands at Orly 4 (project to overhaul the international departure process - RPDI) and the current work to expand the boarding lounge at Orly 1B, requiring the temporary closure of certain aircraft stands on contact, the airport has 90 parking stands, including 48 on contact and false contact 2 . For airlines, Paris-Orly’s main operational strengths are an average taxiing time of less than six minutes, runways that are close to the terminals and a very smooth approach. In addition, simple operations and a large number of contact stands result in very regular use by all types of aircraft and more efficient operating performances, which generate profitability and growth. The airport also offers significant opportunities for real-estate development, the majority of which is diversification real estate. Regulatory constraints Traffic at Paris-Orly airport must meet two types of requirements. Firstly, a decree of the Ministry of Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of 6 October 1994 limits Paris-Orly Airport to 250,000 aircraft movements (take-off/landing) per year. In 2021, the number of aircraft movements stood at 118,557, down compared to 2019 (218,349 movements). Secondly, since 1968 there has been a night-time curfew on the airport between 11.15 p.m. and 6.00 a.m. for take-offs and between 11.30 p.m. and 6.15 a.m. for landings. These requirements are included in Law No. 2019-486 of 22 May 2019 on business growth and the transformation of companies (known as the “Pacte” law), which enshrined the capping of movements and the application of curfews into the law in the event of privatisation. If the Government were to decide to transfer the majority of the capital of Aéroports de Paris to the private sector as it is now authorised to do, it would be mandatory for the new terms of reference of Aéroports de Paris to set the terms and conditions of the operating approval for 250,000 allocated slots and the curfew. Traffic Paris-Orly Airport’s traffic is mainly origin/destination traffic. In 2021, however, connecting passengers accounted for about 3.6% of departing traffic, or nearly 281,000 passengers. Paris-Orly airport traffic grew steadily before the impact of the pandemic. The traffic structure itself experienced significant changes with strong growth in European traffic offsetting a decline in domestic traffic impacted by the ramp-up of the TGV with the commissioning of the link with Bordeaux in July 2017. This change in the traffic structure has been accompanied by an increase of
nearly 11.8% in the number of passengers per aircraft since 2011, with an average load of 133 passengers in 2021 compared to 130 passengers in 2020. During this period, the size of the modules used at the airport has constantly increased. Change in traffic at the Paris-Orly Airport (in millions of passengers)
