Orlando International Airport is an airport located in Orlando, Florida.

It is the busiest airport in Florida (by the number of passengers) owing to Orlando's popularity as a tourist destination and its enormous residential and commercial growth.

The airport serves as a mini-hub for Delta Connection carriers Chautauqua Airlines and Freedom Airlines (all part of the Delta Connection) and a focus city for AirTran Airways, Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines.


Before 1974, the land the airport now sits on was largely owned by the United States Air Force who operated an airbase there.

The base was known as McCoy Air Force Base and the civilian airport was known as the Orlando Jetport at McCoy.
