European and French Airspace tracked via RadarBox.com
As the Olympic flame dims and the final events of the Paris Games draw to a close, the city's airports are bracing for a significant surge in departures. Starting early next week, Paris' two main airports, Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly (ORY) are expected to handle nearly 340,000 passengers daily. This influx of travellers marks one of the busiest periods for the airports as athletes, officials, and spectators prepare to leave the French capital.
A unique and vibrant farewell is being planned to honour the Games' participants. Around sixty dancers, including talented hip-hop artists, are currently rehearsing a "departure dance" that will take place at both CDG and ORY airports. This exceptional performance is intended to celebrate the athletes' achievements and offer a memorable send-off as they depart from Paris.

The head of the ADP Group, which manages the Paris airports, reassured that air traffic this summer is "exactly on the traffic forecasts announced at the beginning of the year." Charles de Gaulle Airport is set to manage 240,000 passengers per day, while Orly Airport will see up to 115,000 passengers daily. These figures highlight the precision and efficiency the airports have been operating during this period, ensuring that the influx of travellers is managed smoothly and to expectations.
As the city transitions from the excitement of the Olympics to the reality of post-event logistics, Paris airports are set to play a crucial role in ensuring that every departure is as seamless and celebratory as possible. The upcoming "departure dance" is a tribute to the athletes and a symbol of the city's gratitude and recognition of the global community that came together for the Games.
