Miami International Airport will begin construction on new terminal space next year after a record-breaking 2024.
The airport said yesterday it is on track to pass 55 million passengers by the end of this year – the highest passenger numbers in its history.
It will be the third consecutive year MIA has broken its own passenger records. Until 2022, MIA had never reached the 50 million passenger mark.
The airport will break ground next year on a $746M expansion of the South Terminal, according to the Herald.
The three-level Concourse K expansion will include:
- six gates for narrow body aircraft (or for three wide-body planes)
- new airline lounges
- concession spaces
The gates will be able to accommodate both domestic and international flights.
A report earlier this year said that it would match the existing finishes of the South Terminal.
Contractor selection is expected in mid 2025, with groundbreaking in fall 2025.
Completion is scheduled for Spring 2029.
MIA is also planning renovations and expansions in the Central (2028 groundbreaking) and North Terminals (groundbreaking TBD).
