ORLANDO AIRPORT
continued from page 11 and landside takes only 90 seconds, traveling by palm trees and juniper plants, over waterways and little lakes. Each of the 39-ft., driverless, computer-controlled trams has a capacity of 100 passengers standing comfortably during the short ride. Traveling between buildings, departing passengers carry only those items required aboard the aircraft as all other luggage has already been checked.
Entire Design Passenger-oriented
Passenger convenience has been emphasized throughout the complex, and walking distances are minimal. Coming or going, travelers can make the transition from air to ground transportation in optimum time and walk less than 1,070 feet. Departing passengers stay on the same level from curbside check-in to aircraft boarding. Arriving passengers make only one level change from aircraft gate to curbside pickup. All loading and unloading areas are under protective cover, and passengers never have to cross a roadway to reach commercial or private vehicles.
Perhaps the highlight of the amenities is the "Great Hall," a unique brick-tiled indoor shopping village featuring stores, restaurants, banking and foreign currency exchange facilities, information and personal services, transportation assistance, and child care and nursery facilities.
Served by Many Air Carriers
Seventeen scheduled airlines presently operate from Orlando International Airport, providing service to more than 60 cities within the U.S. International service is provided by charters and one foreign flag carrier (Air Berlin) at present. Air Berlin regularly brings passengers from Frankfurt, Germany, and Brussels, Belgium, to Orlando, and unscheduled charter flights ferry domestic and foreign passengers to and from Europe and North and South America.
Texas International and Continental Air Lines are scheduled to provide additional service at the airport by the end of this year.
Orlando International's 7,000-acre site is the third largest in the nation. This sprawling land area provided the necessary space to build the new terminal complex-designed to handle 12 million passengers a year and to plan for future expansion that can double its capacity to 96 boarding gates and 24 million passengers annually.
In 1980 the former facility handled 6.5 million passengers, up from 1.2 million in 1971-the year Walt Disney World opened.
• Leaders have two important characteristics: first, they are going somewhere; second, they're able to persuade other people to go with them.
