The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) has approved a $26 million expansion at Orlando International Airport (MCO), and they announced seven more restaurants and markets that are part of the Phase 2 expansion.
MCO Hangar Expansion
GOAA approved the $26 million investment by Signature Aviation to expand its hangar facilities for corporate and private aviation guests on MCO’s west side. The approved development includes a new, modern 8,000 square foot Fixed Base Operator (FBO) terminal to replace the current facility, which was built in the 1980s, and two new 40,000 square foot aircraft hangars. The project is expected to be finished by fall 2028.
MCO Expansion Plans
This is just the latest in a series of large expansions being planned for MCO, with the most ambitious being the Concession Master Plan that will add over a dozen new restaurants to Terminals A and B. All these projects are part of the GOAA’s 2025-2030 Capital Improvement Program. This program is making significant changes at the airport, including replacing the Gate Link tram system.
Under Phase 2, the following restaurants and markets will be available:
- Cava
- Citrus Market featuring Winery and Tasting Room powered by Brewlando
- Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers
- McDonald’s
- Plum Market
- Raising Cane’s
- Velvet Taco
This is in addition to the restaurants previously announced.
The airport also recently announced the return of the Experience MCO Visitor Pass Program, which allows approved non-ticketed guests to pass through security to shop and dine at all terminals.
