Virgin Atlantic Moves Orlando Operations to MCO Terminal C

The airport says the shift will redistribute passenger traffic and use new MARS gates to reduce congestion at checkpoints and concessions.

Overview

  • Virgin Atlantic will relocate all arrivals and departures at Orlando International Airport to Terminal C beginning June 30, 2026, changing where travelers clear customs and board flights.
  • The move coincides with four new Multiple Aircraft Ramp System (MARS) gates at Terminal C that can handle the equivalent of eight narrow-body or four widebody aircraft and increase ramp flexibility.
  • Orlando International says the change aims to balance passenger flow across the complex and make security, concessions, and connections more predictable for travelers.
  • Passengers are advised to use Mobile Passport Control or Global Entry to speed customs processing, follow Terminal Link tram signage for transfers between A, B and C, and confirm rental-car pickup locations since all three terminals offer returns and pickups.
  • Virgin Atlantic has served Orlando since 1992 with regular nonstops to London Heathrow and Manchester and a seasonal service to Edinburgh, and the shift reflects broader airport expansion after Terminal C opened in 2022 to host most international carriers.
