Miami-Dade County legislators and Miami International Airport (MIA) officials have unveiled plans for a new Airport Operations Center (AOC) and Digital Monitoring Hub. The $33-million, 13,254-square-foot operations and emergency response facility, scheduled to be complete in 2027, will feature AI-powered long-range pan-tilt-zoom cameras; real-time digital tower technology; an HD-panoramic video wall; hurricane-resistant towers; vibration-controlled platforms; cyber-secure architecture; and accommodations for other agencies available during crisis response. The center is part of the $14-billion Modernization in Action Plan designed to renovate the airport’s facilities over the next five years.
“In addition to ranking among the busiest airports in the world, MIA is also a proven industry leader in multi-agency collaboration, integrated airport operations, and incident management,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “As MIA continues to modernize every step of the passenger journey from the cabin to the curb, its world-class safety and security posture will take another giant leap forward with this cutting-edge operations center. This state-of-the-art facility is just the latest example of how MIA is becoming more customer-friendly, modern, and future-ready than ever before, to better protect and serve our travelers and employees.”
