Miami International Airport (MIA) is set to boost their cargo capacity, investing and developing a new facility.
Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and County Commissioner Raquel Regalado, District 7, have announced that $400 million has been approved by the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners to construct a four-story cargo facility at Miami International Airport. This will be the first of its kind in the Western hemisphere and once complete will increase the total cargo capacity of the airport by at least 50%, or up to two million tonnes annually.
The facility is scheduled for completion in 2029 and will bring MIA’s capacity to a minimum of 4.5 million tonnes of cargo, if not up to 5 million tonnes, future-proofing America’s busiest international freight airport until 2041.
