Orlando International Airport (MCO) rolled out upgraded tram service to Gates 100-129 today. The new Gate Link service replaces aging equipment with new vehicles and modernized infrastructure, giving you a smoother ride between the main terminal and your gate.<\/p>\n
The launch is part of MCO’s $6.9 billion Capital Improvement Program, a long-term investment in updating the airport.<\/p>\n
What’s New on This Track<\/p>\n
The upgraded track is the first completed piece of MCO’s $253 million Gate Link Replacement Project. The work included:<\/p>\n
\nNew trains
\nNew running surfaces
\nPower distribution equipment
\nVehicle controls
\nCommunications and operating systems
\nPlatform screen doors
<\/p>\n
Each new Gate Link train can carry up to 240 passengers.<\/p>\n
“Through our $6.9 billion Capital Improvement Program, we are building an airport for the future, and this Gate Link milestone brings that vision to life with a smoother, more dependable experience for passengers,” said Lance Lyttle, CEO of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority.<\/p>\n
What’s Next<\/p>\n
Crews will now move to the second track serving Gates 100-129. That track will stay under construction while the newly finished track handles passenger traffic, so Gate Link service continues without interruption.<\/p>\n
Once both tracks at Gates 100-129 are complete, the project shifts to Gates 70-99. There, crews will replace both tracks, trains, and supporting systems.<\/p>\n
If you’re connecting through MCO’s Gates 100-129, expect a smoother, more reliable tram ride starting now.<\/p>\n
