## Description

The "Orlando" in the name is pure marketing – downtown sits 28 miles away. Orlando Sanford International Airport (IATA: SFB, ICAO: KSFB) occupies a former naval air station on Lake Monroe and lives almost entirely off Allegiant Air, whose low-cost network accounts for most of the roughly three million annual passengers. The Navy legacy includes an 11,000-foot runway now shared with flight academies and MRO shops. On the cargo side, plain talk is required: SFB has no freight terminal, and shipments for the region clear through Orlando International or Miami. British charter carriers filled the apron weekly through the 1990s and 2000s before TUI moved its operation to MCO. What remains is spare capacity – a long runway, cheap slots and land along SR 417 that cargo developers eye from time to time.
