Greater Orlando Aviation Authority

Concessions and rental car companies at Orlando International Airport have until September 4 to apply for supplemental relief to offset lost business.

The Greater Orlando Aviation Authority today approved $17 million in fee deferrals for airlines, rental car companies and concession operators hit hard by coronavirus-related economic impacts. But some companies are calling for forgiveness instead of deferrals.

Drivers for Uber, Lyft, and other ridesharing companies will soon be able to take passengers to and from Orlando International Airport. The board of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (GOAA) adopted new rules Wednesday that ease restrictions on the companies. The decision comes one month after Governor Rick Scott signed into law new standards for how ridesharing companies can operate across the state. It allows for locations at airports. It also requires insurance coverage and background checks on drivers.
