Flights Reduced by 40 per Cent at Paris-Orly Airport After Traffic Control Systems Break Down

On Sunday evening, France’s civil aviation authority DGAC instructed airlines to decrease the number of departures at Paris-Orly airport by 40% following a failure in the air traffic control system.
The reduction came after a failure in air traffic control systems, with DGAC not disclosing the reasons behind the malfunction.
On Sunday, Paris-Orly airport experienced cancellations and numerous delays affecting flights to several European countries such as Spain, Denmark, Italy, and Germany, as well as destinations in Saudi Arabia.
DGAC stated its teams are fully mobilized and said some 'regulation' requiring flight reduction was necessary to manage the situation effectively.
This disruption affected an airport with over 33 million passengers last year, suggesting significant short-term impacts on travel flow and scheduling.
