Gallery: Orlando Airport Unveils New Terminal C Ahead Of September Opening
Linda Blachly July 14, 2022
International and domestic passenger growth at MCO will be bolstered by an increasingly touchless experience. “Touchpoints,” also known as points of contact or interaction, occur at check-in, security, concessions, boarding, customs and more. These have long been hallmarks of the passenger experience.
The Prow, the signature element of Terminal C’s curbside, will set an uplifting tone and help usher ambient natural light deep into the ticketing hall.
The Boulevard, capped by a Grand Skylight, will connect ticketing, security, concessions, gates and baggage claim.
Arriving international passengers will be directed to a skybridge on the upper level of the concourse, which will take them to a new Federal Inspection Service facility.
Windows on Orlando, one of the Experiential Media Environment features, will adorn the airside concourse, which will serve 15 gates outfitted with facial recognition. Windows on Orlando, located along the airside concourse, is a 100-foot-long, 32-foot-tall display comprised of three adjacent, panoramic screens. Select Central Florida sequences were filmed on location in 12K for a total of 20 original capsules that run 79 minutes. Highlights include a rocket launch captured from the NASA Vehicle Assembly Building at the Kennedy Space Center and an afternoon ride under open skies to round up cattle with cowhands at the Deseret Ranch in St. Cloud.
Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) is working with media specialist Synect to develop a digital communication experience for passengers arriving at MCO’s new Terminal C facility in September. The smart passenger communication program embodies MCO’s Orlando Experience design concept and will be driven by Synect’s Passenger360 approach and digital signage platform. The Passenger360 system can address thousands of changes per second, such as flight or weather changes, and provides passengers with reliable, curated information for their journey.
MCO is among the world’s 10 busiest airports by passenger volume and the 1.8 million-sq.-ft. Terminal C will be the largest terminal project—by size—to debut in the US in recent years.
Visual communication at MCO’s Terminal C will welcome, engage and assist airport passengers from ticketing to gates and beyond. Airport visitors will encounter helpful, dynamic information and vivid multimedia content on massive video walls and connected digital displays, which will guide them across their full passenger journey. Smart passenger communication includes automatically updated dynamic travel information. The information responds to airport data in real-time, and it is presented inside engaging ultra-high-definition video that celebrates the region and brands the airport experience.

Work is almost complete on Orlando International Airport’s (MCO) Terminal C Phase 1, which is set to open in September. The new Terminal C will add 15 gates capable of accommodating up to 20 aircraft depending on the combination of narrowbody and widebody aircraft, and support an additional capacity of 10-12 million annual passengers. At full build-out, Terminal C will increase capacity at MCO to 60 million passengers annually. Arriving international passengers will be directed to a sky bridge on the upper level of the concourse, which will take them to a new Federal Inspection Service facility.
Terminal C, which will introduce the next generation of “The Orlando Experience,” builds upon the established MCO aesthetic of air, water and sky to include a seamless, low-touch environment that offers a combination of concessions, interactive media displays and iconic architecture.
