area in Miami-Dade County, Florida, 8 miles (13 km) northwest of Downtown
Miami, in metropolitan Miami, between
the cities of Miami, Hialeah, Doral, Miami Springs, the village of Virginia Gardens,
and the unincorporated Fontainebleau neighborhood.
It is South Florida's main airport for
long-haul international flights and a hub for the Southeastern United States,
with passenger and cargo flights to cities throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa,
and Western Asia, as well as cargo flights to East Asia. It is the largest
gateway between the United States and south to Latin America, and is one of the
largest airline hubs in the United States, owing to its proximity to tourist
attractions, local economic growth, large local Latin American and European
populations, and strategic location to handle connecting traffic between North
America, Latin America, and Europe.
In 2018, 45,044,312 passengers traveled
through the airport, making it the 13th busiest airport in the United States
and 40th busiest in the world by total passenger traffic. It is the 3rd busiest
airport in the United States by international passenger traffic. MIA is
Florida's busiest airport by total aircraft operations and total cargo traffic
and its second busiest by total passenger traffic after Orlando International
Airport.
The airport is American Airlines'
primary gateway to Latin America (Central America, Caribbean Sea / West Indies
islands, South America) along with a domestic hub for its regional affiliate
American Eagle in the U.S.A. It also serves as a focus city for Avianca,
Frontier Airlines, and LATAM, both for passengers and cargo operations. In the
past, it has been a hub for Braniff International Airways, Eastern Air Lines,
