MCO Orlando Airport Tour CABE
by TheAlexGuide
FIT CABE visit to Orlando International Airport MCO. We did an airside tour, where we saw various terminals. We saw an Emergency Response facility with various fire trucks and other equipment. We also had the chance to walk on Runway 18R/36L, since it was closed for construction.
We then travelled to the 11th floor of the parking deck (Heliport) to see planes and the airport.
After that, we took a tour of the baggage conveyor system and TSA baggage screening area. During this, we saw all conveyor belts that transfer baggage from checkin to the planes. There is about 11 miles of conveyor belts. A TSA officer took us into a room where "risk" baggage is opened and screened by an officer. We were not allowed to take photos in these areas.
Finally, we toured the Airport Operations Center.
