Aéroport d'Orly (French pronunciation: [aeʁɔpɔʁ dɔʁli]) is a Paris Metro station serving as the southern terminus station of Line 14, built as part of the Grand Paris Express (GPE) project. It is located on the land of the commune Paray-Vieille-Poste and serves Orly Airport, about 13 kilometres (8.1 mi) south of Paris. The station opened with the extension of Line 14 to the south on 24 June 2024, shortly before the start of the 2024 Summer Olympics and 2024 Summer Paralympics.
The station is located just in front of the Terminal 3 building connecting the West (Terminal 1, 2) and South (Terminal 4) buildings. At the station, connections are available to Île-de-France tramway Line 7 and the Orlyval automated shuttle to Antony station on line RER B. As of 2025, it is the southernmost station in the system. The station has two exits – one close to Terminals 1, 2 and 3 and one close to Terminal 4.
Orly Airport is the primary airport for domestic flights between Paris and other cities in France. In 1980s, several projects to better connect the airport to Paris were proposed, including an extension of Paris Metro Line 7, an additional branch of the RER B, and an extension of the RER C. Ultimately, Orlyval – an automated shuttle from the airport to Antony station on RER B – was opened in 1991. In the 2010s, discussions took place regarding whether to extend Line 14 further than its planned terminus at Maison Blanche. It was agreed that the line would be extended south to a station at Orly Airport. The declaration of public utility was in 2016, allowing construction on the extension to begin. The extension was originally planned to be completed in 2027, however delivery was accelerated to 2024 following the awarding of the 2024 Summer Olympics and 2024 Summer Paralympics. Preliminary construction work began in March 2017 with the demolition of a road bridge opposite the drop-off point and the P0 parking extension. In April 2018, Groupe NGE and Salini were awarded the construction contract for tunnels and stations between Thiais–Orly and Aeroport d'Orly station, as well as the Morangis SMR. Major construction of the station started in Sept
