Orlando International Airport

Orlando International Airport (MCO) is one of the most visited airports in the United States, serving as the primary gateway to Central Florida's tourism corridor and a critical node connecting domestic and international routes. This metal print captures that traffic precisely — built from real ADS-B flight tracking data. Every path is colorized by altitude, rendered across your chosen palette.

This print visualizes all 2,184 flights recorded on February 11–12, 2026 — the 45th anniversary of MCO's opening as a civilian airport. Printed direct-to-metal on an aluminum panel, it is a piece of aviation wall art that anchors one of the airport's most significant milestones in data you can see.

ADS-B Points

This dataset covers two days of ADS-B traffic at Orlando International Airport (MCO/KMCO), February 11 and 12, 2026, captured on the 45th anniversary of the airport's opening as a civilian facility. Across those 48 hours, 2,184 flights were recorded: 1,116 arrivals and 1,068 departures, with an additional 34 ground operations. Traffic ran continuously from 00:00 to 23:59 EST, averaging 45.5 flights per hour. February 12 was the busier of the two days at 1,129 total movements, compared to 1,055 on February 11. The single busiest hour across the entire dataset was 17:00 EST, which saw 175 flights, skewed heavily toward departures at 107 versus 68 arrivals. A secondary arrival surge appears at 20:00, when 100 of the 145 total movements were inbound. The 955 unique aircraft observed included registrations from 13 countries, with US-registered aircraft accounting for 862 of them, followed by Canada at 32 and Brazil at 13. The Atlanta route (ATL) led all pairings with 81 total movements across the two days, followed by Chicago O'Hare at 62 and Philadelphia at 56. Newark, LaGuardia, Miami, Charlotte, Baltimore, Dallas-Fort Worth, and Boston each recorded between 42 and 55 movements. Approach and departure tracks were concentrated to the north and northeast, with NNE the dominant direction in both categories: 324 approaches and 275 departures. NNW and N were the next most frequent in both. Southern quadrant directions accounted for a much smaller share of total traffic. The altitude profile across 1,860,794 ADS-B position points shows the highest concentration of readings below 1,000 feet, reflecting time spent near the surface during approach and departure phases. Above that, the distribution thins through the mid-altitudes before peaking again in the 35,000 to 36,000 foot band, which recorded 102,019 points, the highest of any cruise-level range. The highest recorded altitude was 48,375 feet, logged by N427HG on a departure to Fort Worth Meacham. The longest flight by distance was an arrival tagged to N980JT, covering 4,027 nautical miles from Boston in 791 minutes. Average groundspeed across all flights was 309 knots, with a recorded maximum of 678.3 knots.

About the Airport

Orlando International Airport opened as a civilian facility on February 11, 1981, built on the former site of McCoy Air Force Base, which the U.S. Air Force had operated since World War II. The transition from military to commercial use was deliberate — the existing infrastructure gave Orlando a runway foundation that few new airports could match from the start.

Geographically, MCO sits southeast of downtown Orlando, positioned to serve one of the highest-volume leisure travel markets in the world. Central Florida draws tens of millions of visitors annually, and the airport functions as the primary air entry point for that demand. It consistently ranks among the busiest airports in the United States by passenger volume. The airport operates 4 runways and uses a distinctive hub-and-spoke terminal design, with airside facilities connected to a central terminal complex via an automated people mover. That layout allows the airport to process high passenger volumes without the linear congestion common in older terminal designs.

MCO serves as a focus city for several major U.S. carriers and hosts significant international service, particularly from the United Kingdom and Latin America. Its international traffic reflects Orlando's global tourism draw as much as it does standard business or connecting travel. The airport also supports a notable cargo operation and handles charter traffic at a scale few leisure-market airports see. For a city whose growth has been shaped largely by tourism and migration from the northeastern United States, MCO is less a civic institution than a functional engine — the point where the region's economy and the wider world make first contact.
