The Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners has approved a new contract to modernize 372 aged elevators, escalators, and moving walkways at Miami International Airport (MIA).
The new contract will rapidly accelerate the Modernization in Action (MIA) Plan which is renovating the airport’s 616 conveyance units as well as its 126 passenger loading bridges and 203 public bathrooms in phases over the next decade.
“We know that having any conveyance unit out of service on any given day is still a disruption to some of our visitors, so we are asking travelers to please pardon our progress while we transition MIA to becoming more future-ready,” said Ralph Cutie, MIA director and CEO. “MIA continues to climb the ranks among the busiest airports in the world, and our goal is to match that growth with customer service excellence at all of our touchpoints.”
