Orlando International Airport Sees Record-Breaking Year for International Travel in 2024 ✈️🌍
Orlando International Airport (MCO) soared to new heights in 2024, welcoming nearly 800,000 more international passengers than the previous year! With Southwest, JetBlue, and Porter Airlines leading the charge, MCO solidified its status as Florida’s busiest airport, handling a staggering 57.2 million passengers over the year. The expansion of Southwest’s Caribbean hub, JetBlue’s new routes to the Dominican Republic, and Porter Airlines’ service to Ottawa and Toronto contributed to a remarkable 84% of MCO’s international passenger growth.

Despite industry-wide challenges—including airline bankruptcies, aircraft delivery delays, and regulatory hurdles—MCO held strong, experiencing only a 0.9% decrease in overall traffic from 2023. Looking ahead, 2025 is shaping up to be another milestone year, with Discover Airlines launching flights to Munich on March 5 and Air France bringing nonstop service to Paris on May 21. Additional domestic and international routes from airlines like Breeze, Southwest, and Alaska Airlines will further enhance connectivity. Plus, with Epic Universe opening in May, a surge in travel demand is expected.
