Just in time for Thanksgiving travel, Miami International Airport will open its Economy Park-and-Ride lot on November 17 at 10 a.m. for travelers looking to save 50% on parking when they fly.
The new 460-space lot provides monitored parking and a free shuttle service to the MIA terminal every 15 minutes for $12 per day – less than half the $25 maximum daily rate at MIA’s Dolphin and Flamingo garages. Located at N.W. 45th Avenue between N.W. 13th and 15th Street, the Economy Park-and-Ride lot is accessible from either LeJeune Road or Perimeter Road. Credit cards, Apple Pay, and Google Pay are accepted.
With passenger traffic up 16 percent over the last 30 days compared to the same period in 2019, MIA is on pace to serve nearly two million passengers from Friday, November 18 through Tuesday, November 29, which would be its busiest Thanksgiving travel week ever.
Because of the record-breaking projection, MIA is expecting its parking garages to be full beginning on November 17. Instead of parking at MIA’s Dolphin or Flamingo garages, travelers can use the new Economy Park and Ride lot, valet parking at MIA, or be dropped off by friends or family, a ride-share service, taxi, or Miami-Dade Transit’s Orange Line.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
This white paper discusses the hardware deployed, the test results and the annualized expectations for ROI.
