Orlando's secondary international gateway serving leisure and charter travelers.

Opened

Location
Sanford, United States
Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB) is a public airport located in Sanford, Florida, approximately 30 miles north of downtown Orlando. It serves as an alternative to the much larger Orlando International Airport (MCO), primarily handling leisure, charter, and low-cost carrier traffic. The airport occupies the site of the former Naval Air Station Sanford and has evolved significantly since its military days, developing commercial terminals and cargo facilities. It has historically been a favored entry point for transatlantic charter flights, particularly from the United Kingdom and Europe, making it a notable gateway for international leisure travelers. While smaller in scale than MCO, SFB offers travelers a less congested experience with quick access to Central Florida's theme parks and attractions. The airport also supports general aviation, cargo operations, and aircraft maintenance activities.
Terminals
The airport has a single passenger terminal building handling both domestic and international arrivals and departures.
Getting to & from
Ground transportation options include rental cars, taxis, and shuttle services connecting to Orlando and surrounding areas, though no direct rail or bus rapid transit link exists.
