The holiday season isn’t just one of the busiest seasons in Disney Nature. It’s also one of the busiest seasons at Orlando International Airport (with a lot of those folks coming TO Disney World).
Orlando International Airport
Now, flying during the holidays comes with its own share of challenges, including dealing with crowds and making sure you get to where you’re going when winter weather takes a turn for the worst. Well, if you’re flying into or out of Orlando International Airport today, you might find yourself spending more period at the airport than you had hoped for: over 230 flights are currently delayed.
According to FlightAware, 236 flights are currently delayed at Orlando International Airport, while eight flights have been canceled. What’s telling is that these delays are affecting nearly every airline that flies into the airport.

First, there are often long security lines to deal with, although a little preparation…or TSA PreCheck…can help with that. Then, there are often delays, generally caused by weather, that you have no control over. Sometimes, though, an airline must suspend all flights due to other reasons, like technical issues or an employee strike. According to CNN, Air Canada did just that — suspended all flights — due to a flight attendant strike.

Yikes! Although this is not the best travel news, take a look at the current disruptions to see how this may affect your visit to Florida.
Orlando International Airport
Orlando International Airport, also known as MCO, is a busy airport. It is also a popular choice for those visiting Central Florida, which is where many of our favorite theme parks are located.
MCO is consistently listed in the top 10 busiest airports in the United States due to the number of travelers visiting Central Florida. At over 11,000 acres it is also one of the largest airports as well.
The MCO continues to experience heavy crowds as Spring Break has arrived. This means heavy crowds at Orlando International Airport. Orlando Airport has warned travelers ahead of this busy season so travelers can be best prepared.
FAA Flights at Orlando Airport
Travelers at the Orlando International Airport may have been prepared for long waits, but they were not prepared for a ground stop to be issued. At first, the airport issued a ground stop until 4:15 PM due to heavy thunderstorms which would likely be extended due to current weather.
The Orlando International A
If you’re flying in or out of Orlando International Airport (MCO) today, we’ve got some bad news.
Storms have been moving across Florida all day, and now that they’ve reached Central Florida, they’re resulting in pretty big delays at the airport for departing flights. In fact, a ground stop was issued for all flights until the severity of the storms could be determined.
As of 4:00 PM, a ground stop had been issued at MCO Airport through 4:15 PM due to the storms rolling into Central Florida, according to Fox 35. There was a medium probability of the ground stop being extended depending on the severity of the storms.
A total of 463 flights have been delayed today, plus six cancelations, according to data from FlightAware. The majority of these delays come from Southwest (146 delays), JetBlue (48 delays), Delta (40 delays), and Frontier (42 delays). Out of the canceled flights, three of those were heading to Orlando Airport and three were departing.
If a ground stop continues from the storms, it’s possible we could see the number of delays and cancelations rise. If you’re expecting to fly in or out of the airport later on this
