Emirates is celebrating a decade of connecting Central Florida to the world through its service at Orlando International Airport (MCO).

Since 2015, Emirates has carried over 1.1 million passengers and operated 4,700 flights, underscoring its commitment to global connectivity and premium service.

The airline’s SkyCargo division has also boosted local trade, moving more than 14,000 tonnes of cargo—including pharmaceuticals, ferns, pets, and specialty goods—for major clients like Siemens and Disney.

Key figures such as Matthew Jones, Emirates USA Vice President, and Lance Lyttle, CEO of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, praised the partnership and its positive impact on tourism and commerce.

MCO’s continued investments, including a $72 million terminal renovation and a $315 million technical center, reflect its role as a thriving travel hub.

With future upgrades and ongoing collaboration, Emirates and MCO aim to drive Central Florida’s growth and connectivity for years to come.
