The long-awaited and highly-anticipated day has occurred. Terminal C, the newest terminal and major expansion to the Orlando International Airport (MCO) in Orlando, Florida, has officially opened.
Terminal C, located at 10200 Jeff Fuqua Blvd. South, added 15 gates capable of handling domestic or international operations, and accommodating up to 20 aircraft. All gates are also equipped with facial recognition technology for an easier and more secure boarding process.
Aer Lingus, Azul, British Airways, Caribbean, Emirates, Gol, Icelandair, JetBlue, Lufthansa and Norse will operate out of the new terminal.
Terminal C is also adjacent to MCO’s integrated rail-air-ground transportation hub with Brightline intercity rail service to south Florida commencing in 2023.
The new terminal is also home to 80,000 sq. ft. of concessions space. Local flavors are provided by several Central Florida brands including, Barnie’s Coffee & Tea Co., Provisions by Cask & Larder, Cucina & Co., Orlando Brewing Bar & Bites, Wine Bar George, Olde Hearth Bread Co., Sunshine Diner by Chef Art Smith, Orange County Brewers, Raw Juce, and Cask & Larder Public House.
12 retail locations are also included in Terminal C, including a Walt Disney World retail location (more info here), SeaWorld, City Arts Market, Trip Advisor, and Brighton. The official MCO Twitter account also gave a showcase of the new Universal Studios retail location earlier.
