ORLANDO, FL. – Orlando International Airport (MCO) is expecting near-record passenger traffic during this year’s Spring Break period. Contrary to what many may think, the December holiday season is not the busiest time of year at Orlando International Airport (MCO). That distinction is reserved for this time of year that encompasses Spring Break and Easter. During the period from Sunday, February 27th through Tuesday, April 19th more than 7 million passengers are projected to travel through MCO.
“This is our Super Bowl. This is when we have the opportunity to demonstrate to the world what great customer service and the Orlando Experience really means,” says Tom Draper, Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. “All of our operating systems are in place and tested, parking and concessions are ready for near-record crowds.”
Last year, the Spring Break travel period registered 5.2 million passengers, with this year’s predictions, traffic is expected to climb 35 per cent over 2021. By comparison in 2019, prior to the pandemic, Orlando International reported approximately 7.4 million travellers during that time frame.
