In every other global urban area, one major airport provides the main intercontinental hub

Paris has two airports
Both statements are correct, there is no contradiction. Orly is certainly a hub, but principally for domestic traffic.
Neither statement is correct.

EWR and JFK are both intercontinental hubs, ORY less so but it does have flights to Africa, Caribbean and so on.

BA fly to HND as well as NRT.

Paris technically has three airports - BVA might be a field in the middle of nowhere but it is still classed as a PAR area airport.


Now, back to London.............
