4 Airlines Have Ended Flights to Orlando Airport
These four airlines have stopped their direct routes to Orlando. Four airlines, including Lynx Air, JetBlue, and Frontier Airlines, have ended non-stop flights to Orlando Airport due to high operating costs, high fuel prices, and increasing airport charges. The decision was made due to increased airport charges and rising operating costs. While Spirit has decided to stop operating a non-stopping flight into Orlando, Frontier Airlines is making changes to their routes at Harrisburg International Airport in Middletown, PA. JetBlue plans to stop 15 routes by the end of June 2024, one of which is to Orlando. There are also plans to add four new non-Stop flights to MCO.

MCO is the number one busiest airport in Florida, the 11th busiest in the U.S., and the 39th busiest in the world. A lot of people want to be able to visit Orlando and all that it has to offer! With tourism and travel up, you would think that airlines would be adding flights to Orlando, except that is not the case for these four airlines.
Taking a non-stop flight to Orlando just got more challenging for some of these cities, and we want to update you if you plan to travel to Orlando soon.
In October 2022, Lynx Air announced that they would start to offer flights to and from MCO and in January of 2023, flights started. Now just about a year later, Lynx Air had to cease operations on February 26th 2024. This decision was made due to “rising operating costs, high fuel prices, and increasing airport charges.”
If you are used to flying to Orlando out of Raleigh- Durham in North Carolina, we have some bad news. Spirit has decided to stop operating a non-stop flight into Orlando. This route could always return, but for now, if you are looking for a non-stop flight, you will have to look at another airline.
At Harrisburg International Airport in Middletown, PA, Frontier Airlines has started to make some changes in their routes. The non-stop route from Harrisburg to Orlando is one of the routes being cut and will officially end on May 13th. There are more route changes planned that could end more flights to Orlando.
At the end of June 2024, JetBlue is planning to stop 15 routes. One of the 15 routes happens to be to Orlando. JetBlue is seeking to stop flying unprofitable routes. After June of this year, passengers flying out of Salt Lake City will need to find another non-stop route that is not on JetBlue.
While we know that these announcements can be a bummer, there are pleanty of airlines that still have non-stop routes to Orlando. Some airlines are even adding new non-stop flights! Recently we found out that there will be four new non-stop flights being added to MCO!
