TAKEOFF 2025

“Our goal is simple, but ambitious: To deliver a world-class experience for every single passenger every single day.”
Lance Lyttle CEO, Greater Orlando Aviation Authority
The future of aviation is being made right here in Central Florida, and it’s closer than you think. The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) is leading a bold transformation of Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Orlando Executive Airport (ORL), reimagining what an airport can be, and more importantly, what it can feel like for the people we serve.
At the heart of our strategy is a simple promise: “To deliver a world-class experience for every single passenger every single day.”
TAKEOFF 2025 showcased the forward-thinking innovation that will deliver seamless travel, elevated hospitality, and efficient services that reflect the warmth and vibrancy of Central Florida. From curbside to gate side, we are working to elevate every step of the journey, building airports that put people first.
For Orlando International Airport, the bold vision is driven by a $5.9 billion Capital Improvement Plan, providing critical investments to improve efficiency and operations, enhance passenger safety, and reinforce MCO’s reputation as one of the world’s leading airports.
With a combined local economic impact of more than $41 billion, MCO and ORL are vital gateways to the world and connect opportunities for the region’s residents, businesses, workers, and visitors.
Because in Central Florida, we’re not just building airports, we’re building the future of travel.
