Passenger statistics and history
In 2024, Miami International handled nearly 56 million passengers and it is the busiest US gateway for international passengers as well as the busiest US airport for international cargo. Opened in 1928, it grew up with Pan American Airways and is today the largest gateway between the United States and Latin America and the Caribbean, as American Airlines' primary hub for the region. Traffic figures move from year to year, so read that number as an indication of scale rather than a live count.
Getting to Miami International Airport
The airport is roughly 9.9 km (6 mi) from the centre of Miami, measured in a straight line. The Metrorail Orange Line runs from the airport to downtown Miami in about 15 minutes. Two evergreen tips regardless of how you travel: confirm your terminal before leaving, and if you are picking someone up, track the inbound flight on this site first: you want to arrive when the aircraft actually lands, not when it was scheduled to.
