Greater Orlando Aviation Authority

What Greater Orlando Aviation Authority does

Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) is a Florida state-established government aviation authority founded in 1976 that operates Orlando International Airport (MCO) — the primary commercial airport serving Central Florida — as well as Orlando Executive Airport and related aviation services. GOAA's core operational asset is a three-terminal airport complex (Terminals A, B, and C) with an Automated People Mover connecting Garage C to Terminals A and B, and on-airport parking at Garage C Level 4. It serves two principal customer groups: (1) travelers — including business, leisure, and family visitors to the Orlando tourism market — and (2) airlines, ground transportation providers, and concession partners operating within the terminals.

The digital product portfolio is built around traveler-facing utilities: the Official Parking Reservation System with QR-coded contactless entry/exit, 365-day advance booking, and a registered-account layer; the Orlando MCO native iOS/Android app for flight information, parking, and terminal wayfinding; MCO Reserve for timed security-line entry; the Experience MCO Visitor Pass Program extending terminal access to non-travelers; Annie's Space Sensory Room for accessibility; and ancillary services including Lost & Found and rental car coordination. Payments are processed through Windcave as a third-party PCI-handled rail.

GOAA's revenue model is a multi-stream transaction and concession structure: airline landing and terminal fees, on-airport parking (premium reserved at Garage C Level 4 plus drive-up), concession percentage rent from shops, dining, and services, and rental car facility charges. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via the physical airport, the flymco.com web portal, the parking.flymco.com reservation storefront, the Orlando MCO mobile app, and on-site customer service. As a public state entity, GOAA is not privately held, not venture-backed, and operates under Florida Statute 332 with no parent company or subsidiaries on record.

Direct peers

• Hillsborough County Aviation Authority (Tampa International Airport): Government authority operating Tampa International Airport (TPA) and other Tampa-area airports. Comparable to GOAA as a Florida public airport authority managing a major commercial gateway with terminal, parking, and concession operations serving central-Florida-region demand.
• Los Angeles World Airports (LAWA): City of Los Angeles department operating LAX and Ontario International Airport. Closely comparable to GOAA as a publicly operated multi-airport authority running one of the largest US international gateways with terminal management, parking, and concession revenues.
• Chicago Department of Aviation: City department operating O'Hare (ORD) and Midway (MDW). Directly comparable to GOAA as a public entity managing two commercial airports with terminal, parking, and concession revenue streams.
• Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport): State authority operating Boston Logan International (BOS) plus Worcester Regional and Hanscom Field. Comparable to GOAA as a US state/regional aviation authority managing a major international gateway with diversified terminal and ground-transportation operations.
• Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority: Multi-jurisdictional authority operating Washington Dulles (IAD) and Reagan National (DCA). Directly comparable to GOAA as a non-profit government authority managing multiple airports with commercial terminal, parking, and concession operations.
• Miami-Dade Aviation Authority: Government aviation authority operating Miami International Airport (MIA) and Miami Executive Airport. Direct peer to GOAA as a Florida-based government airport authority managing a major international gateway with multi-terminal operations, landing fees, concessions, and parking revenue streams.
• Clark County Department of Aviation (Las Vegas): Authority operating Harry Reid International Airport (LAS) in Las Vegas. Closely comparable to GOAA as a publicly operated airport authority serving a major US leisure-tourism destination, with similar revenue mix tilted toward parking, concessions, and landing fees tied to tourism traffic.

Regional players

• Fraport AG: German-listed operator of Frankfurt Airport plus a global portfolio of airport concessions and terminals. Comparable to GOAA in core airport-operating business model (landing fees, terminal management, parking, concessions), but operates across geographies rather than a single domestic catchment.
• Aéroports de Paris (Groupe ADP): French-listed operator of Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Paris-Orly, and Paris-Le Bourget plus international subsidiaries. Peer to GOAA as a global airport operator with diversified aeronautical and non-aeronautical (retail, parking, real estate) revenue, operating at substantially larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• Port Authority of New York & New Jersey: Bi-state authority operating JFK, LaGuardia, Newark, Stewart, and Teterboro airports plus seaports, tunnels, and bridges. A larger, broader incumbent peer — same government-authority model as GOAA but with a much wider transportation portfolio beyond aviation.
