Miami International Airport

Miami International Airport is the primary gateway between the United States and Latin America, and one of the busiest international airports in North America. MIA handles around 52 million passengers per year. American Airlines operates one of its largest hubs at MIA, with an especially dense network of flights to Central America, South America, and the Caribbean. Miami's geographic position makes it a natural connecting point for passengers traveling between the Americas and Europe, and the airport has been building up transatlantic service from European and Latin American carriers. MIA is also a major cargo hub, handling substantial volumes of perishables, pharmaceuticals, and general freight between the Americas. The airport has been renovating its three terminals and expanding gate capacity to handle the continued growth of Latin American traffic. MIA's international arrivals facility is designed around the specific needs of connecting passengers, with expedited customs processing for travelers continuing to domestic destinations.
