Orlando International Airport (MCO) is a public airport located six miles (10 km) southeast of the central business district of Orlando, a city in Orange County, Florida, United States. It is the busiest airport in Florida (by the number of passengers) owing to Orlando's popularity as a tourist destination and its enormous residential and commercial growth.
The airport serves as a secondary hub for AirTran Airways, and a mini-hub for Delta Connection carriers Chautauqua Airlines and Freedom Airlines. MCO is a focus city for Delta Air Lines and Southwest Airlines. The airport also hosts AirTran's corporate headquarters, though the airline maintains its main hub of operations at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta, Georgia. The airport will also be home to a JetBlue training facility. Southwest Airlines is currently the airport's largest carrier in terms of passengers traveled; SWA carried 1/5 of all passenger traffic at MCO in 2006.
In 2006 it was visited by 34.8 million passengers, making it the 13th busiest airport in the United States and the 24th-busiest in the World. It is the 15th busiest international gateway in the United States, behind Philadelphia International Airport; JFK International in New York City ranks first.
