Story
Miami International Airport (MIA) sits on 3,230 acres of land near downtown Miami. It is operated by the Miami-Dade Aviation Department and is the property of Miami-Dade County.
The airport's history goes back to September 1928, when Pan American Airways moved its operations from Key West to Miami and Pan American Field opened. Today MIA is America's busiest airport for international freight and the second busiest for international passengers. It offers more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean than any other U.S. airport and is served by more than 90 air carriers.
MIA is funded mainly by revenue the airport generates itself, such as airline fees, concessions and parking, and receives no direct funding from local taxpayers. It is part of the Miami-Dade airport system together with Miami-Opa-locka Executive, Miami Executive, Miami Homestead General Aviation and Dade-Collier Training and Transition airports.
