The Directorate General of Civil Aviation asked airlines to cut their flight schedule by 20% at Orly Airport from 7pm on Thursday due to expected storms in the Paris region.
Storms forecast for Thursday evening in the Paris region prompted the DGAC to order a 20% reduction in flights. The goal is to ensure the safety of air operations while limiting disruptions.
Delays are also expected at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, northeast of Paris. Passengers are advised to contact their airline to check their flight status.
The Île-de-France region remains under orange heatwave vigilance by Météo-France on Thursday, with a downgrade to yellow expected on Friday. La Chaîne Météo anticipates showers and a persistent storm risk until late at night.
