Overview
Orlando International Airport is one of the country’s busiest airports serving as the gateway to Disney World, Universal Studios, Kennedy Space Center, and numerous convention-ready hotels for over 50 million passengers a year. This multi-modal facility serves as the central hub to Orlando International Airport’s new South Terminal C which will eventually encompass 120 gates with a capacity of 80 to 100 million passengers a year.

About the Project
The complex includes an Automated People Mover (APM) connection to the North Terminal, an Intermodal Terminal Facility (ITF) capable of accommodating Virgin Trains regional rail system and a Passenger Drop-off Lobby (PDL). The ITF is among the first on-airport intermodal facilities in the United States and the first in Florida with the capacity to conveniently support air travel, ground transportation and rail. The soaring ceilings and massive expanses of glass combined with long-spans throughout the facility created a unique engineering challenge, but the result is beautiful facility which has been described as a “frequent-flier club for the masses.”
A critical early component of the project is Parking Garage “C” which features nearly 1,700 spaces with a direct connection to the North Terminal. Passengers can currently take advantage of remote check-in facilities for Alaska, America, Delta, JetBlue, Southwest and United. These enhancements enable the Orlando International Airport to continue providing a high level of customer service while maintaining its reputation for fiscal responsibility.
