Miami International Airport

The Miami International Airport (from English: Miami International Airport), (IATA: MIA, ICAO: KMIA, FAA LID: MIA) also known as MIA and historically Wilcox Field, is the main airport serving the South Florida metropolitan area, United States. The airport is in an unincorporated area of Miami-Dade County, Florida 8 miles (13 km) northwest of downtown Miami, between the cities of Miami, Hialeah, Doral, Miami Springs, the town of Virginia Gardens and the unincorporated neighborhood of Fountainebleau. It is the main airport in South Florida for long-haul international flights. Miami International is also one of eight airports in the United States that can accommodate the Airbus A380 superjumbo.

The airport is the primary Latin American gateway for American Airlines, along with a domestic hub for its regional affiliate American Eagle; cargo carriers UPS Airlines and FedEx Express and charter airline Miami Air. It is a focus airport for Avianca, Frontier Airlines and LATAM, both for passengers and cargo operations. Miami International Airport has passenger and cargo flights to cities throughout the Americas, Europe and Western Asia, as well as cargo flights to East Asia.

Miami International Airport is the largest gateway between the United States and Latin America, and is one of the largest air hubs in the United States, due to its proximity to tourist attractions, local economic growth, populations and strategic location to handle connection traffic between North America, Latin America and Europe. In the past, it has been a hub for international airlines Braniff International, Eastern Airlines, Air Florida, the original National Airlines, the original Pan Am, United Airlines, Iberia and Fine Air.

In 2011 the airport ranked first in the United States for the percentage of international flights and second for international passenger volume, behind only New York-JFK. In 2013, 40,563,071 passengers traveled through the airport, making it the 23rd busiest airport in the world by passenger traffic. The airport also ranks as the 10th busiest airport in the United States by annual number of passengers and is the busiest airport in the state of Florida. The airport also handled more international cargo than any other airport in the United States.

History

The airport was opened in 1928 by the Pan American Airways Corporation as its base of operations, until it was largely abandoned, being retaken by Eastern Airlines and National Airlines in the 1930s.

In later years, the airport grew in importance due to the rise of Miami as a tourist destination, and the evolution of the city as an immigration destination for a large number of Latin Americans, as well as its status as a commercial link between the United States and Latin America. In 2017 airport operations were suspended by Hurricane Irma.

Operations

In the year ending April 30, 2009, the airport had 358,705 aircraft operations, an average of 982 per day: 82% were commercial aircraft, 12% air taxis, 5% general aviation, and <1% military. The budget for operations was $600 million in 2009.

American Airlines is the airline that covers the most international flights from MIA with approximately a little more than 65 daily flights. Next, the airline Avianca is the second leading airline in international destinations since the MIA, since it operates around 16 flights daily.

As for domestic destinations, American Airlines with its subsidiary American Eagle are the most important operators of the domestic terminal, with 55 destinations. Frontier Airlines is the second leading carrier in domestic destinations since MIA, with 14 destinations

Facilities and aircraft

Miami International Airport covers 3,300 acres (1,335 hectares) and has four runways:

• 8L/26R: 8,600 x 150 feet (2,621 x 46 m)
• 8R/26L: 10,506 x 200 feet (3,202 x 61 m)
• 9/27: 13,016 x 150 feet (3,967 x 46 m)
• 12/30: 9,355 x 150 feet (2,851 x 46 m)

28 aircraft are based at this airport: 46% multi-engine and 54% jet.

MIA has a number of air cargo facilities. The largest cargo complex is located on the west side of the airport, within the triangle formed by runways 12/30 and 9/27. Cargo carriers such as LATAM Cargo, Atlas Air, Southern Air, Amerijet International, and DHL operate from this area. The largest privately owned facility is the Centurion Air Cargo complex in the northeast corner of the airport, with more than 51,000 m² of warehouse space. FedEx and UPS operate their own facilities in the northwest corner of the airport near 36th Street In addition to its large passenger terminal in Concourse D, American Airlines operates a maintenance base to the east of Concourse D, centered around a semicircular hangar originally used by Pan Am, which can accommodate three wide-body aircraft.

Fire protection at the airport is provided by Station 12 of the Miami-Dade Fire and Rescue Department.

Terminals and lounges

The main terminal at MIA dates back to 1959, with several new additions. Semicircular in shape, the terminal has a linear concourse (Concourse D) and five dock-shaped concourses, labeled counterclockwise from E to J (Concourse A is now part of Concourse D, Concourses B and C were demolished so that the doors of Room D could be added in their place, and naming a Room I was skipped to avoid confusion with number 1). From the terminal's opening until the mid-1970s, the concourses were numbered clockwise from 1 to 6.

Level 1 of the terminal contains the baggage claim bands and access to ground transportation. Level 2 contains the documentation counters, shops and restaurants and access to the rooms. The airport currently has two Immigration and Customs (FIS) facilities, located in Hall D, Level 3 and Hall J, Level 3. The FIS in Hall J can be used by flights arriving at all gates of Concourse E and all gates of Concourses D AND some gates in Concourse F. Concourse J FIS can be used by flights arriving at all gates in Concourse J and most gates in Concourse H. No However, all gates in Concourse G, and some gates in Concourses F and H, do not have the facilities for passengers to arrive at any FIS, and therefore can only be used for domestic arrivals. MIA is unique among American airports in that all of its facilities are common-use, meaning they are assigned by the airport and no airline owns or leases any terminal space or gates, thus giving the airport much more flexibility in terminal and that allows you to make the most of your existing facilities. The entire airport became common use in the 1990s.

The free MIA Mover connects the airport to the Miami Intermodal Center, where the car rental facility and bus terminal have relocated. The MIC is also home to the Miami Metro station and the Tri-Rail terminus.

The airport has three parking garages: a two-story short-term parking garage directly in front of Concourse E and two seven-story parking garages (north and south) within the curvature of the terminal and connected to the terminal via walkways over Level 3. In the late 1990s, the Dolphin Garage was enlarged to better serve the then-new Concourse A; The Flamingo Garage is expected to be similarly expanded in the near future to serve the new Concourse J. The two parking garages are connected at their west ends; at the top of this connection are the AIDS offices and the ID airport office. The single terminal facility is divided into three sections known as the North Terminal, the Central Terminal, and the South Terminal.

North Terminal (Blue)

The North Terminal was previously the site of Concourses A, B, C and D, each of them separate. Concourse D was one of the original concourses of the airport from 1959, opening as Concourse 5. After modifications similar to the old Concourse C in the mid-1960s, it was extended in 1984 and the original part was completely rebuilt between 1986 and 1989 and connected to the immigration and customs hall of Hall E, allowing it to handle international arrivals. Concourse D FIS currently provides immigration and customs services in place of the now-closed Concourse E FIS. Along with former Concourses B and C, the concourse once housed the Eastern Air Lines operating base. Another Texas Air Corporation affiliate joined the Eastern Side during the 1980s; Continental Airlines used gates on the west side of the concourse during the 1980s.

The construction of the North Terminal combined the four piers into a single linear concourse designated Concourse D. This configuration was adopted to increase the number of aircraft that can arrive and depart simultaneously from the terminal, allowing each gate to handle approximately twice as much of operations per day. The construction process began with the expansion of the original halls A and D in the late 1990s. In the mid-2000s, the gates on the east side of Concourse D were closed to make way for the construction of new gates as part of the North Terminal development project. In 2004, a new extension to the west was opened, consisting of gates D39 to D51. Room B was demolished in 2005; in the summer of 2009, gates D21 to D25 entered service where Concourse B was located. Concourse C was demolished in 2009. Concourse A was closed in November 2007 and reopened in July 2010 as an eastern extension of Gate 14 of Concourse D. In August 2010, a new extension for American Eagle flights opened, designated Gate D60.

The automated MF Transport Skytrain, built by Parsons Corporation and Odebrecht with trains from Sumitomo Corporation and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, was opened to the public on September 15, 2010. The Skytrain transports domestic passengers between four stations inside Concourse D, located at gates D17, D24, D29 and D46; it also connects arriving international passengers who have not yet cleared the border customs in Concourse D.

Construction of the North Terminal began in 1998 and was scheduled to be completed in 2005, but was delayed several times due to cost overruns. The project was managed by American Airlines until the Miami-Dade County Department of Aviation took over in 2005. With sections of the terminal opening in phases, a significant majority of the structure has now been completed and open for airline use. The project was designed by Corgan Associates, Anthony C Baker Architects and Planners, Perez & Perez and Leo A Daly. The project is moving quickly with a new international arrivals facility opening in August 2012. Substantially complete as of January 31, 2013. Gates D-26, D-27 and D-28, inaugurated in August 2013. The international to local baggage transfer system, which was the last component of the project, was completed in February 2014.

Concourse D is the only concourse located inside the North Terminal. The North Terminal is a 330,000 m² (3,600,000 sq ft) linear concourse 1.9 km (1.2 miles) long with a capacity of 30 million passengers annually. Concourse D has a bus station and 45 gates: D1-D12, D14-D17, D19-D25, D29-D33, D37-D40, D42-D51, D53, D55, D60. American operates two Admirals Clubs within the hall; one located near gate D30, and another near gate D15. American Eagle uses gates D53, D55, and D60.

Central Terminal (Yellow)

The Central Terminal consists of three concourses, labeled E, F and G, with a combined total of 52 gates.

Miami-Dade Aviation Department expects to rebuild the Central Terminal after the completion of the North Terminal, and intends to seek bids in the first quarter of 2011. Upon completion of the North Terminal project and the reopening, the Central Terminal will be used to house airlines not affiliated with any of the "big three" airline alliances, as well as low-cost carriers that the airport hopes to attract.

Room E

Concourse E has two bus stations and 18 gates: E2, E4-E11, E20-E25, E30, E31, E33.

Concourse E also dates back to the terminal's 1959 opening, and was originally known as Concourse 4. From the beginning, it was the airport's only international concourse, containing its own immigration and customs facilities. In the mid-1960s, it underwent similar renovations to the other original airport concourses, but did not receive its first major addition until the opening of the International Satellite Terminal in 1976. With gates E20-E35 (commonly known as &# 34;High E"), the satellite added 12 international gates capable of handling the largest jet aircraft, as well as an international transit lounge for international passengers arriving to connect to other international flights. The Hall and its satellite were briefly linked by buses until the first Automated Airport Transport MF (Adtranz C-100) opened in 1980. At the same time the immigration and customs facilities in Hall E were radically remodeled and expanded. During the 1980s the original part of Concourse E ("Low E") was rebuilt to match the satellite.

Since then, both sides of the room have seen little change. Gate E3 was closed in the 1990s to accommodate a connector between Concourses D and E. In the mid-2000s (decade), the Low E and High E checkpoints were expanded and merged into one, connecting both parts without require passengers to go through security again. At the same time, gates E32, E34 and E35 were closed to make way for a second parallel taxiway between the extension of Concourses D and E. Concourse E also contains the immigration and customs facilities of the Central Terminal (currently closed).

Concourse E serves Oneworld airlines Air Berlin, British Airways, Finnair, Iberia and Qatar, along with some American Airlines flights. The lounge contains a premium lounge for international passengers flying first and business class, as well as OneWorld Emerald and Sapphire elite members. On October 25, 2015, British Airways became the third operator at MIA to operate the Airbus A380, after Lufthansa and Air France. The flight to London-Heathrow boards at gates E6/E8.

The seven-story Miami International Airport hotel and many executive offices of the Miami-Dade Aviation Department are located in Concourse E of the terminal. Level 1 houses two national baggage bands. Level 2 is used for documentation for various North American carriers. Concourse E, along with Concourse F, was once the base of operations for Pan Am and many of MIA's international carriers.

Room F

Concourse F has a bus station and 19 gates: F3-F12, F14-F23.

Concourse F dates to 1959 and was originally known as Concourse 3. Like Concourses D and E, it received renovations in the mid-1960s and was largely rebuilt from 1986 to 1988. The doors at the far end far from the pier were demolished and replaced with new widebody gates F10 to F23, all of which are capable of receiving international arrivals. The departure lounges of gates F3, F5, F7 and F9 were also rebuilt, and these also became international gates. Today, the hall retains a 1980s feel, and is part of the Central Terminal area.

The south side of the concourse was used by Northeast Airlines until its 1972 merger with Delta Air Lines. Similarly, National Airlines flew from the north side of Concourse F until its 1980 merger with Pan Am, which continued to use the concourse until its closure in 1991. When United Airlines acquired Pan Am's Latin American operations, the airline continued functioning as a focus city outside of Concourse F until decommissioning in 2004. From 1993 to 2004, Concourse F was also used by Iberia for its focus city operation of Miami, which linked Central American capitals to Madrid using MIA as the point of connection.

Level 1 of the Concourse F portion of the terminal is used for baggage claim lanes and cruise counters. Level 2 contains the check-in facilities for European airlines. Concourse F is unusual in that the TSA security checkpoint is on Level 3. Passengers must ascend to the checkpoint, pass through security, and descend to Level 2 to board their flights.

Room G

Concourse G has a bus station and 15 gates: G2-G12, G14-G16, G19.

Concourse G is the only one of the original 1959 concourses that has remained in its original state, save for modifications the rest of the airport received in the mid-1960s and an extension in the early 1970s. It is the only lounge at the airport that is not capable of handling international arrivals, although it is frequently used for international charter departures.

South Terminal (Red)

The South Terminal consists of two concourses, H and J, with a combined total of 28 gates.

The South Terminal building and Concourse J opened on August 29, 2007. The new addition is seven stories high with 15 gates with international capacity and a total floor area of 120,000 m² (1.3 million square feet)., including two VIP lounges and several offices. Concourse H is used by Delta Air Lines and its SkyTeam alliance partners, while Concourse J serves United Airlines and its Star Alliance partners.

Room H

Concourse H has a bus station and 13 gates: H3-H12, H14, H15, H17.

Concourse H was the first extension to the 20th Street Terminal, originally built in 1961 as Delta Air Lines Concourse 1, which remains the concourse to this day. This room had a third story, the sole purpose of which was to expedite access to the "guest house" at the opposite end. In the late 1970s, a satellite passenger terminal was built to the east of the concourse. Known as "Gate H2", it has seven parking spaces (numbered H2a to H2g) designed to handle the smallest aircraft. The hall was dramatically renovated from 1994 to 1998, to match the style of the then-new Hall A. Moving walkways were added to the third floor, the H1 bus station and gates H3-H11 were completely rebuilt, and the H2 satellite aircraft access gangways were installed. Due to financial difficulties, doors H12-H20 in the main area were left in their original state.

With the construction of the J Hall extension in the 2000s, the H2 satellite was destroyed. In 2007, with the opening of the South Terminal immigration and customs facilities, the third floor of Concourse H was closed and turned into a "sterile circulation" for arriving international passengers. Gates H4, H6, H8, and H10 were made capable of handling international arrivals, and currently serve Aeroméxico, Air France, Alitalia, KLM, and Swiss. Simultaneously, gates H16, H17, H18 and H20 were closed to allow construction of a second parallel taxiway leading to the new Concourse J.

There are plans to convert gates H11 and H15 into other international-capable gates, but the Lounge is not yet required to use them. Instead, the airport is concentrating on completing the final components of the North Terminal project.

Concourse H historically served as the base of operations for the focus city of Piedmont and US Airways Express commuter operations. Concourse H continues to serve the original tenant Delta Air Lines, which uses all gates on the west side of the pier and usually 2 on the east side plus 1 for the arrival of the Havana flight.

Room J

La Sala J is the newest lounge, which opened its doors on August 29, 2007. Part of the airport's South Terminal project, La Sala was designed by Carlos Zapata and MGE, one of the largest companies in Hispanic-owned architecture in Florida. The Lounge has 15 gates with international capacity, as well as the only airport gate capable of handling the Airbus A380 that has 3 aircraft access gateways. The Lounge added a third international arrivals hall to the airport, supplementing the existing ones in Concourse B (now closed) and Concourse E while significantly alleviating overcrowding at these two facilities.

In the early stages of its development, the South Terminal (Concourses H and J) was planned to serve United Airlines and its Star Alliance partners. Concourse H would serve United's partner airlines, while Concourse J would be the new home for United's Latin American hub. When United dismantled its MIA hub in 2004, Concourse H was designed to serve Delta Air Lines and its SkyTeam alliance partners, while Concourse J would serve United's remaining operations as well as its associated carriers. Upon completion of the North Terminal, Oneworld member airlines will be accommodated in Concourse D (North Terminal), with SkyTeam and Star Alliance members in Concourses H and J (South Terminal).

Old rooms

Room A

At the time of its closure, Concourse A had a bus station and 16 gates: A3, A5, A7, A10, A12, A14, A16-A26.

Concourse A is a recent addition to the airport, opening in two phases between 1995 and 1998. The concourse is now part of the North Terminal. Between 1995 and 2007, the lounge covered many of American Airlines' domestic and international flights, as well as those of many European and Latin American airlines.

On November 9, 2007, Concourse A was closed as part of the North Terminal Development Project. It had been closed in order to expedite the completion of the North Terminal project, as well as facilitate the addition of the MF Transport which now spans the entire length of the North Terminal. The Concourse A infrastructure was reopened on July 20, 2010 as an extension of Concourse D.

Room B

Airport view.

In its heyday, Concourse B had a bus station and 12 gates: B1, B2-B12, B15.

Concourse B was built in 1975 for Eastern Air Lines as part of the airport's ambitious 'Program 70's' initiative, first opening in 1983. During the 1980s, the current hall was rebuilt and expanded, and a new immigration and customs hall was built in the Concourse B section of the terminal, allowing the concourse to process international arrivals. Along with Concourse C and most of Concourse D, it served as the historic base of operations for Eastern Air Lines.

After Eastern's closure in 1991, it was used by a variety of European and Latin American airlines; in the 2000s, American Airlines was its only tenant. The Lounge was closed in 2004 and torn down the following year as part of the North Terminal development project. The immigration and customs hall remained open until 2007, when it was closed along with Hall A.

Room C

At the time of its closure, Room C had 3 doors: C5, C7, C9.

Concourse C opened as Concourse 6 in 1959, serving Eastern Air Lines. In the mid-1960s, Room C received an extension to its second floor and was fitted with air conditioning. Since then, it has not received any major modifications or renovations to the interior. Following the renumbering of doors and concourses in the 1970s, Room C had doors C1 to C10. The opening of an international arrivals hall in Concourse B during the 1980s saw gate C1 given the ability to process international arrivals.

After the demise of Eastern Air Lines in 1991, the lounge was used by a variety of African and Latin American carriers. Many of these airlines' flights would arrive at Concourse B and then be towed to Concourse C for departure. Late in the decade, construction of the United States Baggage Sorting Facility between Concourses C and D saw the closure of all gates on the west side of the concourse, with Gate C1 following soon after. As of the 2000s, the room numbered just four domestic gates, each of which were capable of accommodating small-to-midsize jets from the Boeing 737 to the Airbus A300, and American was its sole occupant.

As part of the North Terminal Development Project, Concourse C closed on September 1, 2009 and was demolished. The demolition of Room C allowed the construction of new doors where the Room was

Future development

"The airport has embarked on a three-year, $651 million renovation, which they say is necessary to keep up with unexpectedly high growth. That work could quickly unravel, however, as the airport has long-term plans to demolish and replace Central Terminal starting in 2025."

Passenger

Load

The airport is one of the largest in terms of cargo in the United States, and is the main cargo connection point between Latin America and the world. Ninety-six different companies are involved in the movement of more than two million tons of cargo annually and guaranteeing the safe travel of more than 40 million passengers, according to the Miami International Airport corporate brochure. It was first in international cargo and third in total cargo for 2008. In 2000, LAN Cargo opened a major operating base at the airport and currently operates a large cargo facility at the airport. Most of the major passenger airlines, such as American Airlines, use the airport to transport cargo on passenger flights, although most freight is carried by cargo airlines. UPS Airlines and FedEx Express base their main operations in Latin America at MIA.
