France Imposes 10 PM Partial Curfew on Noisy Planes at Paris-Orly

The Transport Ministry will measure the night ban from parking stand departure, restrict exemptions to safety or security flights, maintaining existing annual movement caps.

Overview

  • A partial ban begins at 22:00 for the noisiest aircraft, with only the quietest models allowed after that hour.
  • Exemptions are now confined strictly to operations tied to safety, security or public order.
  • Nighttime bans will start based on a plane’s push-back time at the stand rather than its takeoff roll.
  • Paris-Orly welcomed 33.1 million passengers in 2024, surpassing its pre-pandemic traffic level.
  • The government unveiled a national plan to boost under-used soundproofing grants for communities around major airports.
