Orlando International Airport

Address
1 Jeff Fuqua Blvd, Orlando, FL 32827, USA
Phone +1 407-825-2001

The Orlando International Airport is a tri-level complex with 4 Airside facilities. To access the airport you can select either Terminal A or Terminal B side. The roads around the airport are in a continuous loop so that if a destination is passed, you do not need to leave the airport property to circle back to where you need to be.

As you are approaching the airport, it is important to read the overhead signs to determine which side of the airport (which terminal) you need. This is done by looking for the airline that you need to access. This will make navigating the airport a little easier, but if you are on the wrong side, it is still possible to reach the other Terminal as they are all within a single building.​

Airport Code

One might think that the initials of OIA might be the airport code for the Orlando International Airport, but that is not the case. The airport which was taken over by the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority in 1975 was given the name Orlando International Airport in 1976. The airport which was originally an air force base ​was named McCoy Air Force Base with an airport code of MCO.
