ORLANDO, FL. – The benchmark for total number of passengers continues to be broken at Orlando International Airport (MCO). May statistics indicate another record for the total number of people traveling through MCO during a 12-month period, up to nearly 40.5 million.
Long term carrier commitments to Orlando International and Central Florida were reflected in May as a number of airlines celebrated service anniversaries at MCO. Virgin Atlantic celebrated 24 years of service at Orlando International, Alaska Airlines celebrated 13 years and Norwegian 2 years.
Contributing to the healthy May numbers was a 168 thousand seat increase in capacity by the airlines and a number of sizable conventions visiting the area including the American Association of Orthodontists and the largest for the month, MegaCon with over 40 thousand attendees.

2022 Charlotte Douglas International Airport Report of Achievement
Giving back to the community is central to what Charlotte Douglas International Airport and its operator, the City of Charlotte Aviation Department, is about, and last year was no different.
Throughout 2022, while recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, we continued our efforts to have a positive impact on the Charlotte community. Of particular note, we spent the year sharing stories of how Connections Don't Just Happen at the Terminal - from creating homeownership and employment opportunities to supporting economic growth through small-business development and offering outreach programs to help residents understand the Airport better.
