Virgin Atlantic will move to MCO Terminal C on 30th June 2026. Terminal A operations end on 29th June 2026.
After a stop-start few months - announced, confirmed permanent, delayed, and now back on again - Virgin Atlantic's move to MCO Terminal C finally has a firm date, and it's sooner than most people were expecting.
Virgin Atlantic have confirmed directly to us that the last day of operations at Terminal A will be Monday 29th June 2026, with Terminal C operations beginning on Tuesday 30th June 2026. The Virgin Orlando Airport guide has now also been updated to reflect this announcement, which now says:
"Please note, from Tuesday 30th June, we are moving to Terminal C."
- Virgin Atlantic Orlando Airport Guide, updated 8th June 2026
So if you're flying to or from Orlando with Virgin Atlantic on or after the 30th June, you'll be in Terminal C.

What This Means for Your Trip
This applies to all Virgin Atlantic flights, whether you've booked a flight-only booking or a full Virgin Atlantic Holidays package.
- Flying on or before 29th June 2026 - you're still using Terminal A. Nothing changes for you.
- Flying on 30th June 2026 or later - you'll be arriving into and departing from Terminal C.
If your flights straddle the changeover - say, you fly out on the 28th and return on the 3rd July - your outbound will be Terminal A and your return will be Terminal C. Worth double-checking your booking confirmation as the date approaches, particularly if you have pre-booked transfers.

The Story So Far (A Brief Recap)
For those who haven't been following every twist, here's the short version. Earlier this year, Virgin Atlantic announced they'd be moving from Terminal A/B to Terminal C at Orlando International Airport (MCO) - the newer, shinier building that British Airways, Aer Lingus and Norse Atlantic have been using for a while now. A date of 28th April 2026 was given.
Then it was confirmed the move would be permanent - not a temporary arrangement during Terminal A's ongoing refurbishment work as some had suggested.
Then the April date quietly disappeared from Virgin's website, replaced with a statement that they were waiting on CBP approval. CBP is US Customs and Border Protection - the federal agency that has to sign off on terminal operations before an international airline can use them for arrivals. Until that came through, Virgin couldn't pin down a date. So they didn't.
The good news is that approval has now come through, and we have our date: 30th June 2026.
