AIRPORT OVERVIEW

• Miami International Airport also known as Wilcox Field, located approximately 8 miles northwest of the bustling local business district and situated on approximately 3,200 acres in Miami Florida, is a primary domestic and international commercial carrier operator in the Southern Region of the state. The airport accommodates several different facets of air transportation including cargo pick up and delivery, freight transport, and general aviation. In addition, MIA is a major launch site for the "Long Haul" segment of freight forwarding and receiving with operations throughout the U.S., Europe, the Canary Islands, and continent of Africa.
• On average, commercial traffic routed through MIA is of equal balance between domestic and international travelers with an occasional edge slightly in favor of domestic. A total of 94 airlines representing the entire spectrum of commercial carriers including high profile names such as Braniff International Airways, account for the intercontinental and global transport of approximately 37 million passengers annually. These statistics are subject to inherent fluctuations and presumably adjustments are made accordingly as economic factors and or related circumstances change, resulting in a potential negative or positive impact on the tourism industry and air travel in general. All factors considered, the final analysis has consistently supported the existence of a robust visitor traffic trend, the main driver and reason why Miami International Airport consistently ranks in the top 20 worldwide for overall operations.
