Per the Orlando Business Journal, United Airlines will offer “more than 4,600 flights per day in the January to March window.” We’ll also see over 20 additional departures from its hub airports to Florida cities like Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, and Palm Beach. An exact schedule of upcoming flights is not yet available.

Last year, United Airlines was MCO’s seventh-largest airline and accommodated 4.36 million passengers. This new initiative combined with the aircraft maintenance hanger indicates the airline’s willingness to serve the Orlando area to a greater extent. The airport currently features 44 airlines, with 850 arrivals and departures daily.
