Flights to Paris
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Paris is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Paris-Orly Airport (ORY), 14 km (9 mi) from the centre, whose 11,975-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Charles de Gaulle International Airport (CDG, 23 km), Beauvais-Tillé airport (BVA, 69 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paris-Orly Airport | ORY | 14 km (9 mi) | 11,975 ft | 291 ft |
| Charles de Gaulle International Airport | CDG | 23 km (14 mi) | 13,829 ft | 392 ft |
| Beauvais-Tillé airport | BVA | 69 km (43 mi) | 7,972 ft | 359 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,975 ft, ORY can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 291 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
