Airport leadership and Virgin Atlantic employees marked the occasion with a ribbon-cutting event on Tuesday. For B-roll of the new wing and highlights from the opening, please download it here.

“This new wing is an important step in our vision to deliver the very best experience for every guest who travels through Orlando International Airport,” said Lance Lyttle, CEO of GOAA, which manages Orlando International and Orlando Executive airports. “By expanding Terminal C and welcoming Virgin Atlantic to its new home, we are adding capacity, improving flexibility, and creating a more balanced flow of passengers across all terminals.”

Mr. Lyttle thanked the project team, including HNTB, Jacobs, and Hensel Phelps, for their work on the project as well as the Federal Aviation Administration and the Florida Department of Transportation for helping to fund the $462-million expansion.

The new Terminal C gates are designed as Multiple Aircraft Ramp System (MARS) gates, similar to the existing gates at Terminal C, allowing them to accommodate up to eight narrow-body aircraft positions or four wide-body aircraft. The gates also feature Common Use equipment that will enable flexible operations by a variety of airlines for both domestic and international service.

The expansion gates, numbered 250 through 254, are part of Terminal C’s Phase 1 project and were originally included in the terminal’s early development plan before being deferred during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Virgin Atlantic’s move from Terminal A to Terminal C aligns with the opening of the expanded wing area and gives the airline a home in MCO’s newest terminal. The relocation supports more efficient international arrivals and departures while helping distribute passenger activity more evenly across the airport campus.

The expansion increases Terminal C’s capacity, helping the airport to accommodate 10 to 12 million passengers annually while slightly reducing passenger traffic in Terminals A and B. With nearly 58 million passengers traveling through MCO in 2025, the additional capacity is expected to support a smoother, more predictable passenger flow at checkpoints, concessions, baggage claim, and other high-traffic areas.

The added capacity comes as the Aviation Authority prepares for major renovations in Terminals A and B. Planned improvements include updated and expanded restrooms across all four airsides, as well as refreshed interiors at Airsides 1 and 3 with new finishes, lighting, and other enhancements.

Terminal C, adjacent to a Train Station, opened in 2022 and has become a centerpiece of MCO’s long-term growth strategy. It is the only airport terminal in the U.S. connected to an intercity passenger rail service.

Passengers flying Virgin Atlantic should confirm terminal information before arriving at the airport and allow adequate time for check-in, security screening and ground transportation. Travelers with rental car, rideshare, shuttle or other transportation reservations are encouraged to verify pickup and drop-off details with their providers.

A flag-waving crowd cheers during a celebration of America’s 250th birthday during Liberty Weekend at MCO.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Stars, stripes, and spectacle dawned Orlando International Airport (MCO) for this year’s Liberty Weekend celebration, bringing together aviation heritage, patriotism, and recognition of military service, during a special year marking America’s 250th birthday.

An audience of more than 250 and dozens of veterans attended Saturday’s event, paying tribute to MCO’s unique history and military roots and reflecting on generations of service members who have helped shape America.

The Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra took centerstage in lineup of selections that celebrated the American spirit and created a memorable soundtrack for the occasion.

Liberty Weekend also included a presentation of the prestigious Colonel Joe Kittinger Award, which recognizes a local veteran whose service and contributions embody the values represented by the legendary aviator and veteran.

This year’s award was presented to Chief Master Sergeant Melvin “Mel” Jenner, a 103-year-old veteran whose lifetime of service and dedication exemplifies courage, commitment, and patriotism.

“Liberty Weekend is more than a celebration, it is an opportunity to honor the history that shaped this airport and recognize the people who shaped our nation,” said Lance Lyttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA), which operates MCO. “Once home to the McCoy Air Force Base, MCO’s heritage is deeply connected to service, sacrifice, and America’s aviation story. Events like Liberty Weekend allow us to preserve that legacy, celebrate our contributions to the nation, and recognize extraordinary veterans like Mr. Jenner.”

A veteran of World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War, Mr. Jenner flew 46 combat missions over Nazi-occupied Europe as a radio operator and gunner aboard a B-17 bomber. His final wartime mission took place on D-Day, June 6, 1944, as Allied forces advanced across Normandy. Mr. Jenner’s highly decorated military career includes service in the U.S. Chief Master Sgt Melvin “Mel” Jenner accepts the Col Joe Kittinger Award during Liberty Weekend at MCO.

Army Air Corps and the U.S. Air Force, where he contributed to major aviation milestones, including support roles during the early era of supersonic flight alongside renowned pilot Chuck Yeager. He also flew missions during the Berlin Airlift, helping deliver critical supplies to a blockaded city.

His final duty station was McCoy Air Force Base, now home to Orlando International Airport, where he supported B-52 bomber operations and rose to become one of the first Chief Master Sergeants in the U.S. Air Force. This achievement reflected both technical excellence and exceptional leadership. Throughout his distinguished career, he received numerous honors, including the Distinguished Flying Cross and the French Legion of Honor.

Mr. Jenner is the 12th recipient of the Col. Joe Kittinger Award. Col. Joe Kittinger (1928 – 2022) of Orlando is renowned for his pioneering high-altitude parachute jump from 102,800 feet in 1960, a record that stood for more than 50 years, and marked a milestone in aerospace exploration.

Artist Margaret Ross Tolbert expands her original installation with new large-scale paintings.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Gainesville-based artist Margaret Ross Tolbert is devoted to sharing the magic and mystery of the freshwater springs of the Floridan Aquifer, the state’s geographically unique underground water system, in an expansion of “Orlando Springs” at Terminal C.

In 2011, hundreds of her mosaic paintings were commissioned for “Orlando Springs” in the international arrivals area in Terminal A, Airside 1. The dense arrangement of blue-hued paintings, many painted on-site at Orlando-area springs, welcomed travelers for more than 10 years until international arrivals moved to Terminal C. Now, a fresh vision brings the relocation, reinstallation, and expansion of this imaginative work to a new space.

Tolbert’s artwork engages viewers on a springs journey across two levels in the Terminal C space. As travelers depart the airside via the domestic bridge, an escalator ride takes them up through the mosaics conceptualized to suggest passage through a water line, as if entering the springs. Once ascended, passengers are flanked by two new 30-foot-long paintings on Level 6 that evoke immersion in the underwater world the artist knows so well.

“The paint marks on the canvas are at once testament and code for the drama, perplexity, surprise, and delight I feel and see when underwater,” says Tolbert. “There’s a part of me that wants to say, ‘I didn’t make this up!’”

Indeed, Tolbert’s artistic process and lifestyle involve countless hours spent at Florida springs,observing, experiencing, and documenting from above and within. One of the new paintings is based on Cannon Springs, a small springs on the Ocklawaha River that is only visible during the drawdowns on the Rodman Dam, when the water level drops enough to reveal the aquifer activity.

“It reveals frenzied and jubilant activity when the light hits it. Jets of sand and silt flow up from the force of the water pumping out of cave vents,” says Tolbert. “Bubbles of dissolved oxygen course through the springs. Long strands of vegetation lean in the current. We are all propelled by this current, the soundless force that we sense in this spring.”

The other large-scale addition captures a variety of underwater garden activity, Tolbert explains. “Long strands of eelgrass drift into the center panels of the painting, linking them together. Hints of the dark form of a manatee trawling underwater meadows are superseded by the turquoise of the water’s eye of the springs. Above, cypress seedlings and flower blossoms crowd to the surface. The warm colors of the karst rocks, which hold and transmit the water in the craters and pores, appear intermittently in the painting.”

Completing the installation, a colorful acrylic map on Level 4 highlights the Floridan Aquifer Springsheds & Springs water system and pinpoints locations of Central Florida springs.

“Margaret Tolbert’s expanded ‘Orlando Springs’ installation transforms Terminal C into a space that reflects the beauty, energy, and sense of place that make Central Florida so distinctive,” said Lance Lyttle, CEO, of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA), which operates Orlando International Airport. “As we continue to elevate the traveler experience, we are proud to showcase public art that welcomes our guests with a memorable connection to our region’s natural environment.”

Tolbert holds an MFA from the University of Florida and works primarily in oil and mixed media. Her work has appeared in the United States, Europe, and Asia as exhibits, installations, and commissions. She authored two books: Proje-SU (Water Project): Art Science Tradition and Myth from Ancient Water Cultures in Southwestern Turkey (2024) and AQUIFERious (2010).

In keeping with its foundational pillars of Customer Service, Community, Infrastructure, and People, GOAA continues its commitment to a model program of art in public spaces and values the enrichment that public art adds to the customer experience.

ORLANDO, Fla. — The unofficial start of the summer travel season begins today with strong holiday passenger traffic expected at Florida’s busiest airport, Orlando International Airport (MCO).

While early forecasts are about 4 percent below 2025’s record-setting Memorial Day levels, nearly 902,000 travelers are still expected to move through MCO during the holiday travel period.

This year’s forecast reflects evolving airline operations, including schedule adjustments designed to maximize seating efficiency and changes in service from individual carriers. Even with those shifts, MCO continues to see robust holiday demand as travelers head out for the long weekend.

During the six-day travel period, Monday, May 25th, is expected to be the busiest day, with approximately 165,000 passengers.

“Memorial Day marks the beginning of one of the most exciting times of year for Orlando, and we are ready to welcome the hundreds of thousands of travelers who are choosing MCO as their gateway to Central Florida,” said Lance Lyttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority.

Airport officials are encouraging passengers to plan ahead for a smooth and enjoyable travel experience by being at the security checkpoint 2 hours before a flight and arrive at the gate 1 hour before departure.

With increased travel expected, parking facilities may fill during peak periods. Passengers are encouraged to plan parking in advance. Reserved Parking remains a convenient option, along with parking at the surface lots (Atlantis, Endeavour, and Discovery) and economy lots (North Park, South Park, and West Park Place).

Passengers can reserve parking ahead of time through Reserved Parking at MCO or use the Orlando MCO mobile app before arriving at the airport.

Helpful Memorial Day Travel Tips at MCO:

• Allow extra time and be patient. Busy holiday crowds may mean longer lines, and a little extra flexibility can help make your trip easier.

• Stay connected for the latest parking updates. Download the Orlando MCO app or visit our website at FlyMCO for real-time parking and security wait times. You can also follow us on Twitter @MCO or Facebook @FlyMCO.

• Time your passenger pickups for a smoother curbside experience. Ask your party to call when they are ready to be picked up from the curb, and use the Travel Plaza or the North and South free cell phone waiting areas while you wait. For everyone’s safety, please do not park on the shoulders of airport roadways.

• Check your bags for prohibited items before arriving. Firearms and other weapons are not permitted through security checkpoints.

• Please take security procedures seriously. Comments made during screening can lead to delays, so travelers should remain attentive and professional throughout the process.

• Keep your belongings with you at all times and do not accept items from strangers for transport.

• Add identification tags to the outside and inside of checked and carry-on luggage to help keep your bags easy to identify.

• If traveling with a pet or comfort animal, bring a leash. Pets will need to remain on a leash while carriers are screened by TSA.
