While Orlando International Airport is the most popular airport to fly into to go to Disney World, another airport can also get you to Disney World: the Orlando Sanford International Airport. 

Planning guide for the ultimate Disney vacation

While Orlando Sanford International Airport is not as large as Orlando International Airport and is a bit farther away from Disney World, it is definitely worth checking this airport for flights. And some good news could make this airport an even better option for your next Disney World vacation.

According to the Orlando Business Journal, Seminole County just approved a $1 million agreement with the Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB). This agreement seeks to draw airlines to grow service at SFB and encourage companies to locate at the airport.

SFB is one of the largest employers in Seminole County, provides economic benefit to the area, and supported more than 2.87 million passengers in 2024. The $1 million agreement hopes to help the airport grow even more. In the 2000s, Seminole County made a similar agreement that helped recruit Icelandair to the airport from 2006 until 2015.

The airport must go before the board for “any new service or other economic development funding tied to the agreement.” The airport hopes to attract new services and also has hundreds of acres available for commercial development. We will keep an eye on this agreement to see what growth will happen at Orlando Sanford International Airport.

The Sanford Orlando International Airport is currently home to two airlines, Allegiant and Sun Country. Hopefully, this new agreement will help attract additional airlines to provide more routes at this airport. While flight options are a bit more limited at SFB, it can be an option to save money on your vacation, so don’t forget to check flights to here as well.
