Orlando International Airport has today announced that starting Tuesday, June 30, 2026, Virgin Atlantic will move all operations from Terminal A to Terminal C.

On Monday (June 15, 2026), Orlando International Airport (MCO) announced that beginning Tuesday, June 30, 2026, Virgin Atlantic will transfer all their operations at Orlando International Airport (MCO) from Terminal A to Terminal C, meaning new arrival and departure journeys for guests. Serving MCO since 1992, Virgin Atlantic currently operates daily nonstop service between Orlando and London Heathrow, UK, and Orlando and Manchester, UK, increasing up to twice daily during peak seasons. The airline also operates a seasonal twice weekly direct service between Orlando and Edinburgh, Scotland.
Virgin’s move to Terminal C is timed with the opening of Terminal C’s expansion, which will bring four new MARS (Multiple Aircraft Ramp System) gates (250-254). The gate areas are capable of accommodating eight narrow-body gate equivalents or four widebody aircraft. Terminal C opened in 2022 and hosts the majority of international airlines providing service at MCO. The move is part of an effort to help balance passenger traffic across the airport complex, providing a more predictable flow at the checkpoints, concessions, and other areas. Arriving guests can also enjoy shorter wait times in Customs by using the free Mobile Passport Control (MPC) app. Visa Waiver Program travelers can use MPC after they have previously entered the U.S.
The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority operates Orlando International Airport (MCO) and Orlando Executive Airport (ORL), two of Florida’s premier air travel gateways. MCO is a world-class global connector, serving nearly 58 million annual passengers across its three terminals, A, B and C. Connected to an Intermodal Terminal Facility that offers high-speed passenger rail service, Terminal C is an inventive structure that elevates the customer experience with 100 percent automated screening lanes at TSA checkpoints. ORL is conveniently located just miles from downtown Orlando and provides vital general aviation access to the heart of the region.
