Orlando International Airport

Orlando International Airport is an international airport in Orlando, Florida, and one of the largest in the United States by passenger volume. The facility includes three terminals with more than 170 shops, restaurants, and service areas distributed across multiple levels and connected by automated rail systems.

The facility began in 1942 as a military auxiliary airfield during World War II and served to train crews for combat. After the war ended, the site opened for civilian flights and evolved over the decades into one of the main hubs for travel to Central and South America.

Travelers moving through the terminals encounter rotating art collections by Florida artists, including paintings and sculptures made from recycled materials. Many passengers pause at these works and discover details about regional nature and history embedded in the images and installations on display.

Travelers find continuous connections between terminals through automated trains that operate even at night. The airport offers direct rail connections to Miami through the Brightline service, the first integrated high-speed rail link at an airport in Florida.

Terminal C processes baggage with radio frequency tracking systems and automated security lanes that can scan up to 10,000 bags per hour. These systems allow passengers to follow the exact location of their luggage throughout their stay through mobile apps in real time.
