Orlando International Airport (MCO) – a Corporate Partner of the FTE Digital, Innovation & Startup Hub – has opened a spacious and contemporary Pedestrian Bridge to passenger traffic. This offers a new and convenient pathway between Terminal C, the Train Station, and the Terminal Link.
The long-awaited Pedestrian Bridge features a set of bi-directional moving walkways. The walkways, including ramps, are approximately 90 feet in length but will be extended once the entire project, including the Rental Car Lobby, opens in 2026. As part of this program, a third set of moving walkways will be installed in the existing GTF Bridge.
“The Pedestrian Bridge represents both progress and a promise,” said Lance Lyttle, CEO, Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, which operates Orlando International and Orlando Executive airports. “By opening this new access, we are delivering greater convenience to our passengers and meeting their expectations of a world-class airport.”
The future extended walkways for the Pedestrian Bridge are only one part of the significant enhancements coming to Terminal C. The Phase 1 gate expansion is underway to increase capacity and streamline the travel process across the entire airport complex. Four new boarding piers will accommodate eight narrow-body equivalent aircraft positions for efficiency and flexibility. Additionally, airport staff are conducting several studies to determine the best locations for additional moving walkways.
