Miami International Airport and Parking Guide

Miami International Airport (MIA) is the primary airport serving the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County. It sits on 3,230 acres of land and is operated by Miami-Dade Aviation Department. MIA generates a revenue of around $33.7 billion annually, making it the leading economic driver for Miami-Dade County.

History of MIA

Miami International Airport first opened in the early 1920s as Miami City Airport. Following the initial construction, Pan American Field was built in 1928 by Pan Am World Airways. Occupying 116 acres of land adjacent to Miami City Airport, Pan Am Field was the only mainland airport in the eastern United States with port of entry facilities. During World War II, Miami Army Airfield opened south of Pan American Field, thus expanding aviation facilities in Miami. After the war, the City of Miami purchased and merged Pan American Field with Miami Army Airfield, renaming it to 36th Street Airport. The railroad separating the two fields was moved further south and more land was used to unite and expand both facilities. Throughout the years, the number of flight destinations increased and the facility was renamed to Miami International Airport (MIA).
