history
From the 1960s onwards, McCoy Air Force Base was also used for civilian purposes , and in this capacity it was referred to as the Orlando Jetport at McCoy . In 1973 it was decided to close the Air Force Base and the units stationed there gradually relocated.
In 1974 McCoy Air Force Base was closed. The next year, the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority was founded and continues to operate the airport to this day. In 1976 the airport received international airport status and was renamed Orlando International Airport . In 1978 the construction of the new passenger terminal began . In 1979 the airport was first classified as a major hub by the Federal Aviation Administration .
In 1981 the central landside passenger terminal and the two western airside passenger terminals (Airside 1 and 3) were completed. The construction cost around 300 million US dollars . 1983 began the establishment of a concourse for international flights, this was opened in the following year. In 1986, phase II of the airport expansion began. In 1989, the third parallel runway 17/35, which is now called 17R / 35L, was opened. The third airside terminal followed in 1990 (Airside 4). In 1998 construction began on the fourth airside terminal, and the groundbreaking ceremony for the South Terminal Complex took place. In 1999, the airport received permission to build the fourth runway 17L / 35R, and the preparation of the construction site for the South Terminal Complex began.
