Orly Airport

Paris Orly Airport (French: Aéroport de Paris-Orly), commonly referred to as Orly (IATA: ORY, ICAO: LFPO), is an international airport located partially in Orly and partially in Villeneuve-le-Roi, 7 NM (13 km; 8.1 mi) south of Paris, France. It serves as a secondary hub for domestic and overseas territories flights of Air France and as the homebase for Transavia France. Prior to the opening of Charles de Gaulle Airport in March 1974, Orly was the main airport of Paris. Even with the shift of most international traffic to Charles de Gaulle Airport, Orly remains the busiest French airport for domestic traffic and the second busiest French airport overall in passenger traffic.

Orly Airport in The Hot War
Orly Airport was far enough from the heart of Paris that it survived the atomic bomb the Soviet Union deployed in June, 1951. In July, 1952, President Harry Truman landed at Orly when he traveled to France to negotiate the end of World War III.
