It serves 14,277,600 passengers per year,[2] and during a survey in 2017, 14,889,829 people used the station.

During the meeting of the steering committee of the Orly airport station, on 3 May 2016, the Grand Paris company announced that in order not to mortgage the future, protective measures will be taken at the station Orly airport to create a possible extension of the Paris Métro Line 18 to the east of the line beyond 2030.

This measure is taken after requests from local elected officials of Val-de-Marne and Essonne to connect Villeneuve-Saint-Georges station, located on RER Line D, to the Orly airport area to facilitate its access.

Other elected officials want the extension to go to Boissy-Saint-Léger station, located on RER Line A, to the same reasons.

Finally, the department of Val-de-Marne via the Orbival association will mobilize elected officials to reflect on this extension.
