66-535: It is located at the northern edge of Miami International Airport . Designed in the Pueblo Revival style, the mansion was constructed in 1925 by aviation pioneer Glenn Hammond Curtiss , developer of the cities of Hialeah , Opa-locka, Florida , and Miami Springs. Curtiss lived at the large, two-story residence with his wife, Lena Curtiss until his death in 1930. Mrs. Curtiss referred to the mansion as Dar-Err-Aha, which means "House of Happiness." The mansion

132-729: A Miami hub in 1992, positioning a fleet of DC-9 aircraft at MIA to serve destinations in Central America and the Caribbean . The hub took advantage of rights granted under the 1991 bilateral aviation agreement between the United States and Spain. During the 1990s, the airport had sterile international-to-international transit facilities in Concourse D (American, British, and Alitalia) and Concourse F (Iberia and four Central American carriers), and there were plans to establish

198-587: A base at MIA in August 1988. Lorenzo considered selling Eastern's profitable Latin America routes to AA as part of a Chapter 11 reorganization of Eastern in early 1989 but backed out in a last-ditch effort to rebuild the MIA hub. The effort quickly proved futile, and American Airlines purchased the routes (including the route authority between Miami and London then held by Eastern sister company Continental Airlines ) in

264-496: A demand, the Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners approved a $ 5 billion improvement plan to take place over 15 years and concluding in 2035. The comprehensive plan includes concourse optimization, construction of two on-site luxury hotels, the demolition of Concourse G, and expansion of the airport's cargo capacity. Miami International Airport contains three terminals (North, Central, and South) and six concourses for

330-492: A final destination in the U.S. through the airport of entry . A crucial safety aspect of international airports is medical facilities and practices. In particular, controlling transmissible disease , such as SARS , is deemed important at international airports. While these standards are regulated by ICAO Standards And Recommended Practices (SARPs) and WHO 's International Health Regulations (IHR), local authorities have considerable say in how they are implemented. Among

396-538: A flat-roofed porte cochere. At the south end of the lake is an arbor and barbecue grill. The grill was constructed of oolitic limestone (coral rock), which was a by-product of digging the lake. Beginning in the late 1970s, the house was subject to vandalism and a number of fires. In 1998, a public/private partnership of Curtiss Mansion, Inc. (CMI), along with the State of Florida Division of Historical Resources, Miami-Dade County, Miami-Dade County Commissioner Rebeca Sosa,

462-507: A hub airport, however, spaces and services are shared. Airport management have to take into account a wide range of factors, among which are the performance of airlines, the technical requirements of aircraft, airport-airline relationships, services for travelling customers, security and environmental impacts. Technical standards for safety and operating procedures at international airports are set by international agreements. The International Air Transport Association (IATA), formed in 1945,

528-555: A hub in Atlanta. Consequently, South African replaced its Miami service with a flight to Atlanta in January 2000. Concourse A was built on the northeast side of the terminal in 1995, and Concourse H was rebuilt in 1997. Concourse J was built in August 2007 along with an expansion of the terminal on the south side. American began the development of the current North Terminal in the 1990s. Concourses B and C were demolished as part of

594-400: A liquidation of Eastern which was completed in 1990. Later in the 1990s, American transferred more employees and equipment to MIA from its failed domestic hubs at Nashville, Tennessee , and Raleigh–Durham, North Carolina . The hub grew from 34 daily departures in 1989 to 157 in 1990, 190 in 1992, and a peak of 301 in 1995, including long-haul flights to Europe and South America . Today Miami

660-483: A station at the MIC have been on hold since it was discovered that the platform built for that purpose was too short for Amtrak trains. As of early 2022, there is still no Amtrak service at the MIC. The rental car center consolidates airport car rental operations at the MIC. Miami International Airport has direct public transit service to Miami-Dade Transit 's Metrorail , Metrobus network; Greyhound Bus Lines and to

726-462: A sterile corridor for international connecting passengers between six concourses. However, the September 11, 2001, attacks made it necessary for many foreigners to obtain a visa in order to transit the United States, and as a result, United Airlines and Iberia closed their hubs in 2004. MIA is projected to process 77 million passengers and 4 million tons of freight annually by 2040. To meet such

792-428: A terminal on the opposite side of LeJeune Road from the airport and would stop traffic on the road in order to taxi aircraft to and from its terminal. Miami Army Airfield opened in 1943 during World War II to the south of Pan American Field. The runways of the two were originally separated by railroad tracks, but the two airfields were listed in some directories as a single facility. Following World War II in 1945,

858-406: A total of 131 gates. With the exception of Concourse G, all concourses contain gates to access U.S. Customs and Border Protection facilities. American operates three Admirals Clubs and one Flagship Lounge across Concourses D & E. Numerous other lounges exist across the airport as well, including an American Express Centurion Lounge located in Concourse D. The North Terminal (Concourse D)

924-482: A valid ticket are allowed inside the sterile lounge. Admittance into the sterile area is done in centralized security checkpoints in contrast to e.g. individual checkpoints at each gate . This allows for more efficient processing of passengers with fewer staff, as well as makes it possible to detect both delays and security threats well ahead of boarding . To ensure the viability of airport operations, new and innovative security systems are being developed. For instance,

990-513: A wing for American Eagle commuter flights. Pan Am was acquired by Delta Air Lines in 1991, but filed for bankruptcy shortly thereafter. Its remaining international routes from Miami to Europe and Latin America were sold to United Airlines for $ 135 million as part of Pan Am's emergency liquidation that December. United's Latin American hub offered 24 daily departures in the summer of 1992, growing to 36 daily departures to 21 destinations in

1056-601: 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 Asia . It is the largest gateway between the U.S. and Latin America and the Caribbean and one of the largest airline hubs in the nation. The first airport on the site of MIA opened in the 1920s and

1122-405: Is American's largest air freight hub and is the main connecting point in the airline's north–south international route network. In December 1992, South African Airways launched flights to Johannesburg via Cape Town using a Boeing 747. The company's codeshare agreement with American Airlines supported the route. The carrier later decided to codeshare with Delta Air Lines instead, which operated

1188-438: Is for the exclusive use of American Airlines. The Central Terminal (Concourses E, F, and G) has varied uses; Concourse E is mainly used by American and its Oneworld partner airlines along with some Caribbean and Latin American airlines, and E's satellite terminal has a gate that can accommodate an Airbus A380 . Concourses F and G are used by non-AA domestic and Canadian carriers and flights. The South Terminal (Concourses H and J)

1254-504: Is located on the west side of the airport, inside the triangle formed by Runways 12/30 and 9/27. Cargo carriers such as LATAM Cargo , Atlas Air , Amerijet International , and DHL operate from this area. The largest privately owned facility is the Centurion Cargo complex in the northeast corner of the airport, with over 51,000 m (550,000 sq ft) of warehouse space. FedEx and UPS operate their own facilities in

1320-699: Is one of the most common sources for the naming of airports. A number of areas close to them have lent their names, including villages, estates, city districts, historical areas and regions, islands and even a waterfall. Sometimes the toponym is combined with or renamed to incorporate another name from another source such as from one of the following: A study found that 44 percent of the world's international airports are named by toponyms: named for politicians (thirty percent), aviators (seven percent), mythology and religion (three percent), public figures (two percent), people of science (two percent) and other (one percent). Airports also use an IATA -3 letter code to abbreviate

1386-596: Is provided by ground-based controllers who coordinate and direct aircraft on the ground and through controlled airspace. Air traffic control also provides advisory services to aircraft in non-controlled airspace. Airports with international flights have customs and immigration facilities, which allow right of entry. These change over time but are generally designated by law. However, as some countries have agreements that allow connecting flights without customs and immigrations, such facilities do not define an international airport. The current trend of enhancing security at

1452-424: Is served directly by Tri-Rail , Miami's commuter rail system, which began service on April 5, 2015. Tri-Rail connects MIA to northern Miami-Dade, Broward , and Palm Beach counties. Tri-Rail directly serves points north such as Boca Raton , Deerfield Beach , Delray Beach , Fort Lauderdale , Hollywood , Pompano Beach and West Palm Beach . MIA has a number of air cargo facilities. The largest cargo complex

1518-534: Is the association of the airline companies. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) is a body of the United Nations succeeding earlier international committees going back to 1903. These two organizations served to create regulations over airports which the airports themselves had no authority to debate. This eventually sparked an entire subject of air travel politics. In January 1948, 19 representatives from various US commercial airports met for

1584-508: Is the main non-Oneworld international terminal. Concourse H is largely used by Delta and non-Oneworld international carriers that send narrowbody planes largely from Central and the northern parts of South America, and some widebody flights; and Concourse J is used by most non-Oneworld international carriers that send widebody planes and is the main terminal at MIA for non-Oneworld trans-continental flights. Concourse J also has one gate that can accommodate an A380. Miami International Airport uses

1650-555: Is the primary international airport serving Miami , Florida and its metropolitan area with over 1,000 daily flights to 185 domestic and international destinations, including most countries in Latin America . The airport is in an unincorporated area in Miami-Dade County , 8 miles (13 km) west-northwest of Downtown Miami , in metropolitan Miami, adjacent to the cities of Miami and Miami Springs , and

1716-780: The Boeing 747 and the Airbus A380 commonly used for international and intercontinental travel. International airports often host domestic flights , which helps feed both passengers and cargo into international ones (and vice versa). Buildings, operations, and management have become increasingly sophisticated since the mid-20th century, when international airports began to provide infrastructure for international civilian flights. Detailed technical standards have been developed to ensure safety and common coding systems implemented to provide global consistency. The physical structures that serve millions of individual passengers and flights are among

1782-622: The City of Miami established a Port Authority and raised bond revenue to purchase Pan American Field, which had been since renamed 36th Street Airport , from Pan Am. It merged with the former Miami Army Airfield , which was purchased from the United States Army Air Force south of the railroad in 1949 and expanded further in 1951 when the railroad line itself was moved south to make more room. United States Air Force Reserve troop carrier and rescue squadrons also operated from

1848-569: The MIA Mover , a free people mover system to transfer passengers between MIA terminals and the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC) that opened to the public on September 9, 2011. The MIC provides direct access from the airport to ground transportation (shuttle/bus/rail) as well as rental car companies. A Metrorail station opened at the MIC on July 28, 2012; a Tri-Rail station followed on April 5, 2015. Plans for Amtrak to operate

1914-465: The Phoenix Islands ( Kiribati ), after serving as a military airport during World War II , was used as a refuelling stop by commercial aircraft such as Qantas which stationed ground crew there in the late 1950s. The advent in the early 1960s of jet aircraft such as the Boeing 707 with the range to fly non-stop between Australia or New Zealand and Hawaii , meant that a mid-Pacific stop

1980-556: The Tri-Rail commuter rail system. Metrorail operates the Orange Line train from Miami International Airport to destinations such as Downtown , Brickell , Health District , Coconut Grove , Coral Gables , Dadeland , Hialeah , South Miami , and Wynwood . It takes approximately 15 minutes to get from the airport to Downtown. Miami-Dade Transit operates an Airport Flyer bus that connects MIA directly to South Beach . MIA

2112-801: The Miami-Dade County Metropolitan Planning Organization, the Florida Municipal Insurance Trust, the Miami Springs Historical Society, the City of Miami Springs and countless private and corporate donors, the mansion reopened to the public in 2012. After 17 years of grassroots efforts, including raising several million dollars, the mansion became available for historic, cultural, educational, recreational, social, civic and other community uses. Although

2178-560: The Pueblo Revival-style Mansion has been the property of the City of Miami Springs, and the not-for-profit all volunteer Curtiss Mansion, Inc. was formed to restore and operate this historic home. Designated a Miami Springs historic site in 1987, the mansion was added to the NRHP on December 21, 2001. Its architect, Martin L. Hampton , was one of Miami's most prominent architects during the 1920s—his designs include

2244-489: The U.S. with 17,500,096 passengers for the year. It is Florida 's busiest airport by total aircraft operations, total cargo traffic and total passenger traffic. The airport is American Airlines ' third-largest hub and serves as its primary gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean . Miami also serves as a focus city for Avianca , Frontier Airlines , and LATAM , both for passengers and cargo operations. Miami International Airport covers 1,335 hectares (3,300 acres). It

2310-458: The adjacent property, it formed a 21-acre (85,000 m) complex. After Curtiss's death in the early 1930s, Lena Curtiss married H. Sayre Wheeler, a friend and business associate of her husband. Wheeler served as mayor of Miami Springs from 1942 to 1944, and he was part owner of the Michaels and Wheeler Insurance Company. The couple lived in the house until the late 1940s. The estate was sold in

2376-471: The airport from 1949 through 1959, when the last unit relocated to nearby Homestead Air Force Base (now Homestead Air Reserve Base ). Pan Am and Eastern also constructed maintenance bases in Miami in the late 1940s, which made the airport the world's largest commercial aircraft maintenance and overhaul facility at the time. The old terminal on 36th Street was closed in 1959 when the current terminal (known as

2442-768: The airport, such as at the Hong Kong International Airport , which included the construction of a high-speed railway and automobile expressway to connect the airport to the urban areas of Hong Kong. Construction of the expressway included the construction of two bridges (the Tsing Ma suspension bridge and Kap Shui Mun cable bridge) and the Ma Wan viaduct on Ma Wan island to connect the bridges. Each bridge carries rail and automobile traffic. International airports have commercial relationships with and provide services to airlines and passengers from around

2508-514: The availability of service varies across airports. Some international airports provide secure areas for stranded passengers to rest and sleep. The more usual service is hotels that are available on the premises. The World Airport Awards are voted by consumers in an independent global customer satisfaction survey. Singapore Changi Airport was the first-place winner in 2020. Other winners include Incheon International Airport (South Korea) and Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (The Netherlands). Toponymy

2574-703: The beginning, required extensive co-ordination between users and interested parties – architects, engineers, managers and staff all need to be involved. Airports may also be regarded as emblematic of national pride and so the design may be architecturally ambitious. An example was the planned New Mexico City international airport , intended to replace an airport that has reached capacity. Airports can be towered or non-towered , depending on air traffic density and available funds. Because of high capacity and busy airspace , many international airports have air traffic control located on site. Some international airports require construction of additional infrastructure outside of

2640-409: The cost of passenger and baggage handling efficiency at international airports is expected to continue in the future. This places financial burden on airports, risks the flow of servicing processes, and has implications for the privacy of passengers. International flights often require a higher level of physical security than do domestic airports , although in recent years, many countries have adopted

2706-431: The elements). Standard amenities include public restrooms, passenger waiting areas and retail stores for dining and shopping, including duty-free shops . Dining establishments may be consolidated in food courts . Some international airports may offer retail sales of luxury goods at duty-free stores. Wi-Fi service and access, offices for bureau de change ( currency exchange) and tourism advice are common, although

The house is roughly V-shaped in plan and constructed of hollow clay tile with a rough textured stucco exterior. The roof is flat with irregular parapet walls embellished by projecting waterspouts and irregular shaped openings. The main entrance to the residence is set within a deeply recessed T-shaped opening and marked by

2904-508: The late 1970s and early 1980s, Air Florida had a hub at MIA, with a nonstop flight to London , England which it acquired from National upon the latter's merger with Pan Am. Air Florida ceased operations in 1982 after the crash of Air Florida Flight 90 . British Airways flew a Concorde SST (supersonic transport) triweekly between Miami and London via Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C. , from 1984 to 1991. The terminal

On January 9, 1969, the estate hosted the Miami Touchdown Club annual dinner where Joe Namath famously guaranteed that his New York Jets would defeat the heavily favored Baltimore Colts in Super Bowl III . The estate was sold to Forte Hotels, International, Inc. in the late 1970s, and it currently is owned by the city of Miami Springs. Since 1998,

3102-484: The most complex and interconnected in the world. By the second decade of the 21st century, over 1,200 international airports existed with around 3.8 billion international passengers as of January 2023 along with 50 million metric tonnes of cargo passing through them annually. In August 1919, Hounslow Heath Aerodrome , in London , England , was the first airport to operate scheduled international commercial services. It

3168-889: The most important airport services are further transportation connections, including rail networks, taxi and shuttle services at curbside pick-up areas, and public buses. Large areas for automobile parking , often in co-located multi-storey car parks , are also typical to find at airports. Some airports provide shuttle services to parking garages for passengers and airport employees. Due to the very large scale of international airports, some have constructed shuttle services to transport passengers between terminals. Such systems operate for example, in Singapore Changi Airport and Zurich Airport . At some U.S. international airports, such as O'Hare International Airport in Chicago, some seating and waiting areas are located away from

3234-423: The northeast corner of MIA, Eastern's maintenance base. Eastern remained one of the largest employers in the Miami metropolitan area until ongoing labor union unrest, coupled with the airline's acquisition by Texas Air in 1986, ultimately forced the airline into bankruptcy in 1989. Eastern operated out of Concourses B through D on the north side of the terminal, where American's Concourse D stands today. Concourse E

3300-650: The northwest corner of the airport, off of 36th Street. In addition to its large passenger terminal in Concourse D, American Airlines operates a maintenance base to the east of Concourse D, centered around a semicircular hangar originally used by National Airlines which can accommodate three widebody aircraft. International airport An international airport is an airport with customs and border control facilities enabling passengers to travel between countries . International airports are usually larger than domestic airports , and feature longer runways and have facilities to accommodate heavier aircraft such as

3366-438: The old security checkpoints can be replaced by a "total security area" encompassing an entire airport, coupled with automatic surveillance of passengers from the moment they enter the airport until they embark on a plane. Passengers connecting to domestic flights from an international flight generally must take their checked luggage through customs and re-check their luggage at the domestic airline counter, requiring extra time in

3432-669: The process. In some cases in Europe , luggage can be transferred to the final destination even if it is a domestic connection. In some cases, travelers and the aircraft can clear customs and immigration at the departure airport. An example of this would be that some airports in Canada and Ireland , along with several other countries, have United States border preclearance facilities. This allows flights from those airports to fly into US airports that do not have customs and immigration facilities. Luggage from such flights can also be transferred to

3498-443: The project with Concourse A becoming the eastern end of the expanded Concourse D. Although the terminal was originally scheduled to be completed in 2004, numerous delays arose in the construction process, and Miami-Dade County took over control of the project in 2005, at which time the project had a budget of $ 2.85 billion. The terminal was ultimately completed in 2011 and included Skytrain , an automated people mover system, as well as

3564-465: The same level of security for both. Most international airports feature a "sterile lounge", an area after security checkpoints within which passengers are free to move without further security checks. This area can have services such as duty-free shops that sell goods that have been selected and screened with safety in mind, so that purchasing and bringing them on board flights poses no security risks. In addition to employees, only processed passengers with

3630-537: The solution. At the far end of the longest international route (which became the Kangaroo Route ), on-water landing areas were found in places such as Surabaya and in the open sea off Kupang . In Sydney , Rose Bay, New South Wales , was chosen as the flying-boat landing area. International airports sometimes serve military as well as commercial purposes and their viability is also affected by technological developments. Canton Island Airport , for example, in

United ended flights from Miami to South America, and shut down its Miami crew base, in May 2004, reallocating most Miami resources to its main hub in O'Hare International Airport in Chicago. United ceased all mainline service to Miami in 2005 with the introduction of its low-cost product Ted . Iberia also established

3762-464: The terminal building, with passengers being shuttled to terminals. These areas may be referred to as ground transportation centers or intermodal centers. Amenities at ground transportation centers typically include restrooms and seating, and may also provide ticket counters, food and beverage sales and retail goods such as magazines. Some ground transportation centers have heating and air conditioning and covered boarding areas (to protect passengers from

In 2021, Miami International Airport became the busiest international cargo airport in the U.S. and the busiest U.S. gateway for international passengers, surpassing John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City . As of 2021, it is the 10th busiest airport in

3894-534: The world. Many also serve as hubs , or places where non-direct flights may land and passengers may switch planes, while others serve primarily direct point-to-point flights. This affects airport design factors, including the number and placement of terminals as well as the flow of passengers and baggage between different areas of the airport. An airport specializing in point-to-point transit can have international and domestic terminals, each in their separate building equipped with separate baggage handling facilities . In

3960-671: Was closed and supplanted by Croydon Airport in March 1920. In the United States, Douglas Municipal Airport in Arizona became the first international airport of the Americas in 1928. The precursors to international airports were airfields or aerodromes . In the early days of international flights , infrastructure was limited, "although if engine problems arose there were plenty of places where aircraft could land". Since four-engined land planes were unavailable for over-water operations to international destinations, flying boats became part of

4026-589: Was expanded in the 1970s. Parking garages were added just east of the terminal and Concourse B opened on the north side of the terminal in 1973 to accommodate the expansion of Eastern Air Lines. In 1977, Concourse E's satellite terminal opened. The satellite was originally connected with shuttle buses, though a people mover was built to connect the satellite in 1980. Nonstop flights to Chicago and Newark started in late 1946, but nonstops didn't reach west beyond St. Louis and New Orleans until January 1962. Nonstop transatlantic flights to Europe began in 1970. In

4092-596: Was further expanded in the 1980s. The original Concourses D and E were rebuilt early in the decade and Concourses B and F were expanded. Pedestrian bridges with moving walkways were built in 1985 connecting the parking garages with the third level of the terminal. Within the next few years, the moving walkway system on the third level was expanded to run along the full length of the terminal. After former Apollo 8 astronaut Frank Borman became president of Eastern Air Lines in 1975, he moved Eastern's headquarters from Rockefeller Center in New York City to Building 16 in

4158-511: Was known as Miami City Airport . Pan American World Airways ("Pan Am") opened an expanded facility adjacent to City Airport, Pan American Field , in 1928. Pan American Field was built on 116 acres of land on 36th Street and was the only mainland airport in the eastern United States that had port of entry facilities. Its runways were located around the threshold of today's Runway 26R. Eastern Air Lines began to serve Pan American Field in 1931, followed by National Airlines in 1936. National used

4224-613: Was no longer needed and the airport was closed to regular commercial use. Other international airports, such as Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong , have been decommissioned and replaced when they reached capacity or technological advances rendered them inadequate. The construction and operation of an international airport depends on a complicated set of decisions that are affected by technology, politics, economics and geography as well as both local and international law. Designing an airport even for domestic traffic or as "non-hub" has, from

4290-579: Was the home for most international carriers, while Pan Am operated out of Concourses E and F. Amid Eastern's turmoil, American Airlines CEO Robert Crandall sought a new hub in order to utilize new aircraft which AA had on order. AA studies indicated that Delta Air Lines would provide strong competition on most routes from Eastern's hub at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta , but that MIA had many key routes only served by Eastern. American Airlines announced that it would establish
