Location

Miami, United States

Miami International Airport (MIA) is one of the busiest airports in the United States, serving as a major hub for both domestic and international travel. Located approximately 8 miles northwest of downtown Miami, it handles tens of millions of passengers annually and is a critical node for air travel between North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean. The airport is operated by Miami-Dade County and serves as the primary hub for American Airlines, which operates more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean from MIA than any other U.S. carrier. MIA is consistently ranked among the top U.S. airports for international passenger traffic and international freight volume. The facility has undergone extensive modernization over the decades, including a major redevelopment program completed in the 2010s that expanded concourses and improved passenger amenities. Its strategic geographic position makes it a natural connecting point between the Americas.

Terminals

MIA features a single horseshoe-shaped terminal complex divided into three concourses — North (D, E, F), Central (G, H, J), and South (A, B, C) — connected by an internal people mover called the MIA Mover.

Getting to & from

Ground transport options include the Miami Metrorail (via the MIA Mover connecting to the Miami Intermodal Center), taxis, rideshare services, and rental cars.
