ORLANDO, FL. – The coronavirus made its impact felt at Orlando International Airport (MCO) in March with a 47 percent drop in traffic. Despite the dramatic monthly plunge in traffic, on a rolling 12-month basis, MCO managed to squeak out an overall gain in passengers of 1.13 percent compared to this time last year.
“The first negative impacts of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic were felt in March, the first month Central Florida battled the virus,” said Phil Brown, Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. “While we’re pleased we were able to record even a small overall gain, we are committed to rebuilding traveler confidence and providing a clean and safe environment for every single passenger visiting our world-class airport and region.”
Contributing to the slim increase was a record-breaking spring break travel season for the first week of the month before coronavirus related travel restrictions and shelter-in-place rules took effect.

PAVIX: Proven Winner for All Airport Concrete Infrastructure
International Chem-Crete Corporation (ICC) manufactures and sells PAVIX, a unique line of crystalline waterproofing products that penetrate into the surface of cured concrete to fill and seal pores and capillary voids, creating a long lasting protective zone within the concrete substrate.
Once concrete is treated, water is prevented from penetrating through this protective zone and causing associated damage, such as freeze-thaw cracking, reinforcing steel corrosion, chloride ion penetration, and ASR related cracking.
This white paper discusses how the PAVIX CCC100 technology works and its applications.
