Orlando International Airport Is Now Offering Direct Flights To Tokyo
Late last year, we brought you the exciting news that Orlando International Airport would soon offer non-stop flights to Japan.
Operated by ZIPAIR, the new flights give Central Florida residents the opportunity to travel straight from MCO to Tokyo.
“We are extremely proud of this historic achievement, as this will be the first non-stop charter flight from Japan to Orlando, Florida,” said Shingo Nishida, Representative Director/President, ZIPAIR Tokyo.

“Orlando is home to numerous world-class theme parks, and by operating these charter flights for travelers from Japan, we hope to meet our customers’ expectations when they experience ZIPAIR’s new standard in air travel. We certainly look forward to welcoming Disney fans and guests on our charter flights next Spring.”
An Important Moment For Disney
For Disney fans, the new routes were particularly exciting, as they connected Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland.
