- France's civil aviation authority (DGAC) has asked airlines to cut flights by 40 per cent at Paris-Orly airport due to a breakdown in air traffic control systems.
- The DGAC stated that the significant reduction in flights was a necessary "regulation" but did not specify the cause of the breakdown.
- Teams from DGAC are working to restore normal operations as quickly as possible.
- Flights to various destinations including Spain, Denmark, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Ireland, and several French cities were cancelled or delayed on Sunday.
- Paris-Orly airport served over 33 million passengers last year, which is about half the number served by Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle.
