Paris (awp / afp) – The traffic of Paris airports in September remained almost stable compared to the same period in 2018 due to the closure of the Orly main runway and the bankruptcy of Aigle Azur, announced Monday their manager ADP Group.
"Traffic was up 0.4%" and altogether "9.4 million passengers were welcomed, including 6.8 million at Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle (+ 4.8%) and 2, 6 million in Paris-Orly (-9.5%), "the group said in a statement.
The sharp drop in traffic at Paris-Orly is linked to "the closure for work on the main runway of Orly, as well as the effects of the bankruptcy of the Aigle Azur company which ceased all its activities on September 6", he added.
