Distance & flight time from ORL
Orlando Executive Airport
Orlando Executive Airport (ORL) is a general aviation and business-aviation hub located just northeast of downtown Orlando, distinct from the much larger Orlando International Airport (MCO) that handles the region's tourist traffic. ORL dates back to the 1920s and briefly served as Orlando's main commercial airport before operations shifted to MCO's predecessor site. Today it caters to corporate jets, flight schools, charter operators, and law enforcement and medical helicopter units, with two runways supporting a steady stream of smaller aircraft. Its proximity to downtown makes it convenient for business travelers avoiding MCO's congestion. The Orlando Aviation Authority manages both airports, and ORL continues to play a supporting role in the region's overall air traffic capacity.
