Orlando Executive Airport (ORL/KORL) is a publicly owned general aviation airport located approximately three miles east of downtown Orlando, Florida. It serves primarily business aviation, charter flights, and private aircraft, offering a convenient alternative to the much larger Orlando International Airport for travelers not requiring commercial airline service.
