Orlando International Airport (MCO) has posted a staggering bounceback from the travel woes over the last couple of years.

The central Florida hub had 49,703,780 passengers pass through its gates in 2022 and is expected to surpass that figure in 2023.

"We have far exceeded anyone's expectations for traffic growth at Orlando International Airport,"

says Kevin Thibault, Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority.

"On a rolling 12-month basis, MCO welcomed 49.7 million passengers as of November. If you break that down even further, it is about two days' worth of traffic shy of 50 million."

International passengers saw a massive increase compared to 2021, with a 225% increase year on year to 5,352,825.

The airport has also completed a phased opening of Terminal C, which is fully expected to allow the airport to expand further in the near future.
