MCO Tram Breakdown: Hundreds of Passengers Forced to Walk Across Airport Bridge

Orlando, Florida – Travelers at Orlando International Airport (MCO) experienced unexpected delays and an unusual journey yesterday following a tram system malfunction. The incident forced numerous passengers to disembark and walk across an elevated airport bridge, a route typically served by the automated tram. Video footage from the scene captured a bustling airport environment, with ground crew attending to a Southwest Airlines aircraft on the tarmac. Emergency vehicles, including a fire truck and police cars, were also visible on the ground below the bridge where passengers were walking. The weather appeared clear, though the ground was wet from what seemed to be recent rain. Comments from affected travelers underscored the inconvenience, particularly given Orlando's characteristic heat and humidity. One passenger remarked, "In that god awful heat and humidity 🥵." Another expressed concern for accessibility, stating, "Omg. I did not know this was something that could realistically happen. What about guests with disabilities???" Airport authorities have not yet released an official statement regarding the cause of the breakdown or the full extent of the operational impact.
