Orlando International Airport

Orlando International Airport (KMCO) sits 6 miles southeast of downtown Orlando. Commercial service is dominant — KMCO is one of the busiest airports in the United States by passenger count, driven by Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando — and the field handles a meaningful but not dominant flow of business aviation. For Orlando-area private aviation, KORL (Orlando Executive, 3 miles east of downtown) and KISM (Kissimmee, 18 miles south of downtown near Disney) are the typical charter defaults. The four runways at KMCO handle every current business jet without restriction. Signature is the principal private terminal. Where KMCO makes sense for private aviation is large-cabin VIP arrivals connecting to the Disney/Universal resort circuit where the passenger requires the major-airport experience, and international charter where CBP on a major hub matters. The operational considerations are slot pressure during peak commercial banks, summer afternoon thunderstorms (April–October), and hurricane season. Field elevation is 96 feet, no density-altitude concerns. Ground time to Walt Disney World is 25–35 minutes; Universal Orlando is 20–25; downtown Orlando is 15–25.
