Originally, the airport was called McCoy Air Force Base. Whether flying domestically or internationally, MCO is a convenient stopping point for travelers throughout the Southeast.<\/p>\n<h3>Intro &amp; history of MCO Airport<\/h3>\n<p>The predecessor to MCO, Orlando Municipal Airport, was established in 1928. It was a small airfield near downtown, mostly used for military training flights. As commercial aviation expanded in the 1950s, the airport&#8217;s limitations became obvious. It was too small to handle the increased traffic, and its central location made expansion impossible.<\/p>\n<p>In response to these problems, the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority was created to oversee the construction of a new airport. The new airport, known as the Orlando Jetport at McCoy, was built on a former Air Force installation in the city&#8217;s Southeast. In 1976, its name was changed to Orlando International Airport.<\/p>\n<p>MCO is now one of the most modern and well-equipped airports in the world. Many awards have been bestowed upon it for its design, amenities, and customer service. MCO is located 12 miles southeast of downtown Orlando, making it easily accessible to the city and its surrounding areas. Today, MCO boasts four concourses, over 150 shops, and other services catering to travelers.<\/p>\n<p>MCO is the fourth-largest in the United States by land area. It has four runways and one helipad and spans across 53.83 km\u00b2 (20.8 square miles).<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"MCO_Airport_Terminals\"><\/span>MCO Airport Terminals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The main terminal building at MCO Airport is massive and has north and south sides.
