Orlando Sanford International Airport covers 2,010 acres (813 ha) and has four runways:
- Runway 9L/27R: 9,600 x 150 ft. (2,926 x 46 m), Surface: Asphalt
- Runway 9C/27C: 3,578 x 75 ft. (1,091 x 23 m), Surface: Asphalt
- Runway 9R/27L: 6,647 x 75 ft. (2,026 x 23 m), Surface: Asphalt
- Runway 18/36: 6,002 x 150 ft. (1,829 x 46 m), Surface: Asphalt/Concrete
The dominant runway is 9L/27R. This was constructed from the naval air station's original Runway 9/27, which was an 8,000 ft (2,400 m) x 200 ft (61 m) landing area with overruns of 2,145 ft (654 m) and 1,985 ft (605 m), respectively. Parallel Runways 9C/27C and 9R/27L were later constructed, the former on a previous taxiway and the latter as new construction runway, to support light general aviation aircraft. The airport also has available Runway 18/36, another Navy-constructed runway, for rare northerly fronts that occur in the winter, although at 6,002 feet (1,829 m) in length, this runway is not used for normal commercial traffic.
During 2010 Allegiant Air had announced it was moving many of its flights to larger, and more centrally located Orlando International Airport to compete directly with AirTran Airways. However, in October 2010, Allegiant announced that due to passenger's comments, they would be shifting all flights back to Sanford on February 1, 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word facilities:
“Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“I have always found that when men have exhausted their own resources, they fall back on “the intentions of the Creator.” But their platitudes have ceased to have any influence with those women who believe they have the same facilities for communication with the Divine mind as men have.”
—Elizabeth Cady Stanton (1815–1902)
