Welcome to the
Greater Orlando Aviation Authority
Concessions Department

The Concessions Department of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (the "Authority") is responsible for awarding all concessions and consumer service privileges in the Terminal Complex of the Orlando International Airport. The Terminal Complex consists of approximately 150,000 square feet of Food & Beverage, Retail, and Service space. It is the goal of the Authority to provide the traveling public with a first-class shopping and dining experience as they travel through the Orlando International Airport.

In partnership with our Master Retail Developer, Westfield Concession Management II LLC, the Authority has launched a pilot program to bring new retail opportunities to the airport through retail mobile units (RMU's). RMU's provide an excellent venue through which small businesses can participate in the airport business community.
