The programme, which will aid modernisation projects over the coming 15 years, covers Miami International Airport (MIA) and all the county’s executive, as well as general aviation airports.
These upgrades are expected to bolster growth at MDAD’s airports, with total passenger traffic anticipated to reach 60 million per annum during the programme.
Furthermore, MIA’s freight traffic is expected to exceed four million tonnes by 2040.
The airport’s CIP consists of five sub-programmes, including an overhaul of North Terminal gates (concourse D), redevelopment of Central Terminal (concourses E and F), and the expansion of the South Terminal (concourses H and J).
