The Kissimmee Gateway Airport may soon expand as the Kissimmee City Council prepares to discuss a significant proposal. On November 4th, they'll review a memorandum with Kissimmee Airport Development Co. LLC for leasing and developing nearly 120 acres, including part of a former golf course that closed in 2018.

The airport, lacking infrastructure at the old golf course site, has struggled to attract aircraft manufacturers. The proposed development intends to address this shortcoming, increasing competitiveness with other airport sites. Kissimmee Airport Development Co. is set to conduct surveys, environmental studies, and site grading if the plan is approved.

In a recent update, Shaun Germolus, director of aviation for Kissimmee Gateway Airport, shared insights on their Airport Master Plan, which emphasizes aeronautical development. Germolus highlighted the potential for job creation and boosting the aviation business. What do you think about these expansion plans?

Meanwhile, Orlando International Airport is also working on a decade-long expansion, aiming to add 8,000 parking spaces and upgrade baggage handling systems by 2030. We’re keeping a close watch on these projects and their potential impacts on your Disney World trips.
