MCO Launches $253 Million Tram Replacement Project

Orlando International Airport will begin construction December 7 on a $253 million Gate Link Replacement Project to modernize its aging tram system. The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority says the upgrade will improve safety and reliability for travelers moving between Terminals A and B and Gates 70–129. During the first phase, only one tram will serve Airside 2, affecting Southwest passengers, while shuttle buses help ease congestion. Work will later shift to Airside 4, impacting Delta, Frontier, Spirit and others. Officials say the investment will ensure dependable service for decades.
