The Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners has approved plans for the construction of new Concourse K at Miami International Airport (MIA).
The project, which has been made possible with an investment of 600.6 million USD, will seek to deliver six new gates, a ground support equipment maintenance facility, enhanced baggage handling systems and critical airfield infrastructure upgrades including the construction of an associated aircraft apron and jet fuel hydrant system.
Approval for the project marks a major milestone in MIA’s 9 billion USD Future-Ready Modernization in Action plan, which has been set out to accommodate 77 million passengers and 5 million tonnes of cargo by 2040.
Miami-Dade County Mayor, Daniella Levine Cava, said:MIA has not seen a terminal expansion since 2007, making this a truly transformative milestone for our airport. The launch of Concourse K will not only increase capacity and create thousands of new jobs but also reinforce MIA’s role as a premier Global Gateway.
With the unwavering support of the Board of County Commissioners and the dedication of Director Ralph Cutie, his team, and our airport partners, we are making visionary, future-ready investments that will build a stronger, more vibrant airport—one that uplifts our community, welcomes the world, and powers our economy into the future.
Construction of Concourse K is set to begin following groundbreaking this summer, and is expected to be completed by Spring 2029, with the general contract having been awarded to Lemartec-NV2A JV, LLC and lead architect duties being handled by Perez & Perez Architects Planners, Inc..
