Orlando International Airport

To keep up with passenger growth, Orlando International Airport (MCO) opens Terminal C in September, with an additional 15 gates accommodating domestic and international flights. In 2023, MCO becomes the only U.S. airport to offer inter-city rail service, when service starts between the airport and the city centers of West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale and Miami.

Orlando is the tale of two cities. Tourism – which most everyone knows, and the lesser known – Technology. Known across the globe as a world-class vacation destination, and named the top U.S. city for conventions, surprises many to discover Orlando is also renowned as a center for high-tech and aerospace industries, with a high-tech ecosystem that started in Orlando back in the 1960’s.

At the center of the ‘two Orlando cities’ is Orlando International, Florida’s busiest airport, which ranked #7 in the world in 2021, with over 40 million passengers
