International traffic increased to 3.9 million travelers, 5.2 percent more than last year. At the same time domestic traffic is down by 2 percent to 23.4 million passengers. \u201cAs we continue to set new international travel records year after year, it is imperative that the Authority plans for more international growth by enhancing our infrastructure and maximizing our customer service efforts,\u201d says Frank Kruppenbacher, Chairman of the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority. The airport authorities approved $1.1 billion <a title=\"The expansion\" href=\"http:\/\/orlando.interplex.net\/blog\/orlando-airport-1-1-million-expansion-plan-approved\/\">expansion<\/a> plan in October. The project includes four additional international gates, an automated people mover, improvements to the ticket hall and baggage screening areas, and a rail terminal to support All Aboard Florida, a train service between Orlando and Miami that is being backed by private investors. Traffic to <a title=\"MCO transportation\" href=\"http:\/\/orlando.interplex.net\/en\/transportation\/Orlando-Intl-Airport-(MCO)-104780.php\">MCO<\/a> comes from the new air services from several airlines this year.
