Ryanair drops Orly, four new airlines arrive next summer (to go to Beirut, Düsseldorf, Fez, Chisinau)
Four new operators are setting up at the Paris airport, taking advantage of slots abandoned by Ryanair.
Something new at Orly airport. From next summer, four new airlines will operate from the Parisian platform. They benefit in particular from slots abandoned by Ryanair, i.e. two daily flights which had been allocated to it for 2025.
These slots will be allocated on Thursday, November 5 during the redistribution of a new "pool" of airport slots by Cohor (Coordination of time slots), the independent organization responsible for allocating the famous "slots", the content of which was shared in advance with La Tribune. In total, 4,368 slots were put into play for the next summer season, corresponding to 6 daily flights on an annual basis.
A redistribution that arouses strong demand from the companies The lucky ones? Their name is SkyUp, a Ukrainian company based in Moldova, which will provide connections with Chisinau (2 flights per week); Middle East Airlines, a Lebanese player which will connect Orly to Beirut (4 flights per week); Eurowings, the subsidiary of German Lufthansa, which will operate 6 flights per week with Düsseldorf; and finally Air Arabia Maroc with 4 flights per week to Fez. Remember that Ryanair was considering, before withdrawing, serving Bratislava (Slovakia) and Bergamo (Italy).
The abandonment of its project therefore alone explains a third of the volume of new slots distributed. This redistribution generated strong demand from companies. “There were a little over 21.
000 slots requested, or five slots requested for one slot available,” says Antoine Lapert, director of Cohor.
