Orlando airport traffic in our 30-day measurement
The 62.7 movements per day are an average across the full 30-day window of our own reception measurement. Within that window, the busiest stretch fell between 00:00 and 02:00, with one important note: our measurement clock runs in UTC, not local Orlando time, so that peak does not describe the middle of the night at MCO.
These are our own figures, based on what our measurement actually received over 30 days. They are a traffic sample rather than a timetable, which makes them useful for exactly one thing: showing when and how much MCO actually moves in our data. Because the daily figure is a 30-day average, a single busy or quiet day barely shifts it, and the peak window is simply the two hours in which that measurement counted the most movements.
Airlines we saw most often
Three carriers stood out in our 30-day sample at Orlando International. JetBlue led the count with 472 measured movements, making it the most frequently received airline at MCO in our data. Frontier Airlines followed with 350 measurements over the same period. American Airlines completed the top three with 189 measured movements. JetBlue's lead over Frontier is clear but not overwhelming, and Frontier in turn is well ahead of American. Each airline name links to its own status page, so if you are following a specific flight, checking by airline is usually the fastest route.
Nearby airports around Orlando
Orlando has more than one airport in reach, which matters when you are comparing flights or dealing with a diversion. The closest alternate in our data is Orlando Sanford International Airport, 39 km from MCO. Melbourne Orlando International Airport, 75 km out, is the second option in our data, and Lakeland Linder International Airport follows at 85 km. All three distances come from our own airport data, and which of the three is realistic depends on where your trip starts or ends.

Passenger statistics and history
In 2025, Orlando International handled 57.7 million passengers, making it the seventh-busiest airport in the United States and, since 2017, the busiest in Florida. It opened in 1961 as a joint civil-military field and grew with the theme parks; by land area it is the largest commercial airport in the country. Traffic figures move from year to year, so read that number as an indication of scale rather than a live count.
Getting to Orlando International Airport
Orlando International Airport lies about 14 km (9 mi) from central Orlando, measured in a straight line. Brightline trains connect the airport with South Florida, and downtown Orlando lies about 10 km (6 mi) to the northwest. Whatever your transport, confirm your terminal before leaving; and if you are picking someone up, track the inbound flight on this site first: you want to arrive when the aircraft actually lands, not when it was scheduled to.
