The Orlando Oasis @ KMCO
Palm Court at KMCO’s new Terminal C
Around this time, the final European, Canadian, and Central/South American tourists are returning to their home countries after spending winter in Orlando. Also around this time, I have returned to Infinite Flight and its community. What better way to return to the community than with a fly-on/out at my new home international airport, and Florida’s busiest, Orlando International. Whether it be flying one of Infinite Flight’s officially recommended unique 737 max routes (KMCO-SBBR), or one of KMCO’s 38 other commercial airlines, 6 cargo airlines, GA, or even military, there is something here for everyone.
Virtual airline sponsorships are welcome! Simply PM me here (@Airbus_737), or on Discord (airbus_737) and your VA’s details will be listed on this event page and announced further down the thread.

In order to make it easier for me to track this thread, and to help get this event officially featured for its Friday, gates will not be assigned for this event. Instead, to help pilots choose flights for this event, I have provided some helpful information about the airport, its airlines, destinations, and aircraft types below.
Note: Destinations are ones that will be served on the event date, including seasonal ones as the peak travel season wraps up. Suggested aircraft types are based on types that are currently operated by the airline, are simulated in IF (when possible), and are suitable for the flight’s distance.

Military
The Florida National Guard ramp is south of the south cargo ramp. Fun fact: the entirety of MCO airport used to be an Air Force Base! The name of this base, McCoy Air Force Base, is where the airport’s current ICAO/FAA code comes from. Today, for the military, only this southernmost ramp remains.
Maintenance
| Airline | Location |
|---|---|
| Jetblue | North end of taxiway L |
| Silver Airways | East of taxiway L |
| Both maintenance facilities are located in between runways 35L and 35R. |

The only two things I will ask are for IFATC signups, and for pilots to fill out the poll below to indicate interest. Should you desire to control, but not for the whole time, I will sign you up and leave the remainder of the event open for other controllers to sign up. Furthermore, while there will be no official gate reservations, I would be more than interested to see what you plan on flying to/from this event.
