  • 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.
