The countdown to the holidays is underway at Orlando International Airport (MCO). Passengers at Florida’s busiest airport will experience the festive atmosphere throughout the terminal complex with colorful holiday decorations and musical and entertainment acts performing throughout the month of December.
“Holiday travel can be busier than usual, but it is our hope that a daily showcase of local talented performers can uplift spirits and enhance the overall travel experience for our millions of travelers,” said Lance Lyttle, Chief Executive Officer of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority.
Traditional Central Florida holiday entertainment ranging from Dickens Carolers to Latin Jazz is a direct reflection of the pillars that make up MCO’s core values of Community, Customer service, Infrastructure and People.
