Winter storms cause slight decrease in holiday travel at Orlando airport

Winter storms cause slight decrease in holiday travel at Orlando airport

Winter storms that blasted the Northeast and South in recent weeks — causing flight delays and cancellations around the country — led to slightly fewer passengers flying out of the Orlando International Airport this holiday season compared to the previous one.

The airport — known by its code MCO — saw more than 1.4 million passengers fly out of the airfield between Dec. 20 and Jan. 5, what officials consider the “holiday period.”

That’s 6,802 fewer flyers than the previous holiday period that saw just over 1.44 million passengers, according to statistics provided to the Orlando Sentinel by MCO.

Before the recent storms, officials were forecasting 14,416 more passengers this holiday season than last because of high travel demand and low airfares into and out of Orlando.

Still, the airport was crowded during the holidays. The single busiest day for departures this season was Jan. 4, when 100,208 passengers took to the skies out of Orlando.

That was the second busiest day on record at MCO, said Angela Starke, an airport spokesperson. read more
