Orlando International Airport (MCO) in Florida is a popular transit hub for leisure travelers in the U.S. If you’re planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, or other attractions in Orlando, or if you’re embarking on a cruise from Port Canaveral, chances are you’ll be flying into MCO.
As a devoted Disney fan and recent convert to Universal Orlando and cruising, I’ve traveled through MCO numerous times. Over the years, I’ve witnessed significant changes at the airport. In 2022, Terminal C was unveiled, offering a completely new airport experience with impressive architecture and a slightly distant location from the main terminal. In 2023, MCO introduced its Brightline station, connecting the airport to Miami and other destinations in Florida via rail.
MCO is a massive airport that can sometimes feel more crowded and hectic than even Orlando’s busiest theme parks. Here’s a breakdown of what you need to know about the airport:
- Location: 1 Jeff Fuqua Blvd, Orlando, FL 32827 (Terminals A and B) and 10200 Jeff Fuqua Blvd South (Terminal C).
- Annual Passengers: Approximately 57 million.
- Passenger Airlines: The airport serves 38 passenger airlines, with the largest ones being Southwest Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Spirit Airlines, Frontier Airlines, and American Airlines.
- Airport Code: MCO (originally McCoy Air Force Base).
