Soto Announces Nearly $62 Million from Bipartisan Infrastructure Law for Orlando International Airport to Expand Terminal C Apron

The funding comes from the Airport Infrastructure Grants - created by the Infrastructure Law.

"We were thrilled to help deliver over $60 million to Orlando International Airport as part of FAA's Airport Infrastructure Grants. I was proud to vote for the Infrastructure Law, which has enabled us to expand our airport's infrastructure and better serve passengers." said Congressman Darren Soto. "Thanks to the Infrastructure Law, we've allocated over $200 million in federal funds for enhancements, such as new gates, a pedestrian bridge, and runway upgrades. Terminal C now features state-of-the-art technology to cater to an extra 10-12 million passengers annually."

"Our sincere thanks goes to Congressman Soto and his staff for their unwavering support of Orlando International Airport and, specifically, the expansion projects at Terminal C," said Kevin J. Thibault, CEO of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority, which operates Orlando International and Orlando Executive airports. "The improvement to expand the existing Terminal C apron will help us in our efficiency, optimize our operations, and ensure we continue to maximize Terminal C as a world-class asset."

In the 117th Congress, Rep. Soto voted to pass President Joe Biden's Infrastructure Law, which provides $15 billion in airport infrastructure funding. Improvements made possible due to this legislation include projects such as runways, taxiways, safety initiatives, sustainability projects, improvements to terminals, airport-transit connections, and roadways.
