Local legislators and airport stakeholders gathered to unveil plans for Miami International Airport (MIA)’s Concourse D60 expansion. The $1-billion project, part of the airport’s $9-billion M.I.A. Plan, is scheduled to break ground in 2027 and will create 17 new gates as well as new passenger areas, dining and retail spaces, and an enhanced baggage handling system by 2030.
“The D60 expansion is one of the most monumental customer service improvements within our unprecedented airport-wide modernization plan, which will transform the passenger experience at MIA from the cabin to the curb over the next five years,” said MIA Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “MIA ranks among the fastest-growing global hubs since the pandemic, and the North Terminal expansion, coupled with South Terminal’s future Concourse K and the Central Terminal redevelopment, will create a new future-ready gateway fully enabled to serve our millions of visitors for decades to come.”
“Miami is an important hub and gateway for American, and it’s an essential part of our history and our future,” added American Airlines CEO Robert Isom. “The brand new, reimagined D60 is a transformational project that will provide a much-improved experience for our customers and our team. This investment — alongside new premium lounges and new routes — reflects our shared commitment with Miami-Dade County and the airport to deliver a consistent, elevated customer experience.”
