How many gates are in Terminal C at MCO?

15 gates capable of accommodating up to 20 aircraft. State of the art RFID (radio frequency identification) tags on all baggage.



Terminal C at Orlando International Airport (MCO) currently features 15 primary gates (gates C230–C245), though the facility is designed with a "swing" capability that can accommodate up to 20 aircraft simultaneously by utilizing different parking configurations for smaller domestic jets versus large international wide-bodies. As of 2026, Terminal C serves as the primary hub for JetBlue and various international carriers like British Airways and Emirates. The terminal is part of a phased expansion project; while the initial 15 gates are fully operational, future expansion "Phase 1P" and beyond are planned to add dozens more gates to the southern complex to meet the growing demand of Central Florida’s tourism and business sectors, eventually mirroring the capacity of the North Terminal.
