CHARLES DE GAULLE (CDG) - Airport remains open and flights are arriving and departing, according to a Twitter post by Delta Assist at approximately 6:30pm Eastern US time.
"So borders are closed but CDG is still open?", asked Twitter user John Boone.
@DeltaAssist replied "As of now the airport is still open." CDG has not made any official announcements on the status of flights, arriving or departing, though mulitple major media news sites are reporting that the borders of France are being closed. Paris Orly Airport is reported as being closed to arriving and departing flights by numerous sources at this time. In a bizarre but apparently unrelated coincidence, Orly was closed to flights hours before tonight's Paris terrorist attacks due to a crash of their computer system, which relies on a very outdated version of Windows - 3.1. Reports of multiple terrorist attacks in and around Paris, France, began this evening just after 5pm Eastern US time. The president of France, François Hollande, has declared a state of emergency.
