Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the largest and most important airport serving the Orlando metropolitan area, and it is located around six miles southeast of Downtown Orlando in the US state of Florida. In 2021, the airport had over 19 million passengers pass through its doors and the number will only continue to grow, as the airport currently stands as the busiest in the state of Florida and the seventh-busiest in the United States, eclipsing the rival Miami International Airport (MIA).
