ORLANDO— The opening of a new Orlando International Airport terminal slated to open in June 2005 will be delayed, thanks to September 11 terror attacks, according to The Orlando Sentinel. A new opening date is expected to be set within the next few months, said the report. The terminal, which is the centerpiece of the airports $1 billion expansion, is being held up by two issues: uncertainty about when demand will justify a new terminal and the need to accommodate new security systems. Orlando International Airport’s traffic was off 21.8% in December, compared with an industry-wide decline of 14%. The airport, once forecast to serve more than 31 million passengers in 2001, instead suffered its first year-over-year decline in two decades, serving 28.3 million passengers, said The Sentinel. Meanwhile, the airport is also facing questions as to what its requirements will be in terms of security, i.e. whether it will need to install explosive-detecting machines. Another question is where to put a series of new parking garages; originally the plan was to place them within 300 feet of the terminal. New FAA rules now forbid that close proximity. Additionally, now that only ticketed passengers are allowed to pass through security checkpoints, the airport is rethinking the retail and restaurant outlets it will position within that area.
