Just in time for Labor Day weekend, Miami International Airport (MIA) has fully reopened its Concourse D Skytrain system with the return of Station 1 on August 25. With all four stations now back in service, travelers can once again enjoy fast, seamless connections across MIA’s busiest concourse, home to 60 gates and millions of travelers each year. 

The Skytrain’s return is such great news for our airport, our passengers, and our community. Thanks to the tireless work of the MIA team, we have restored a world-class amenity that makes travel easier and faster for millions of people each year. I know the temporary closure wasn’t easy for travelers, and I thank everyone for their patience and understanding. This reopening is a milestone that reflects progress, resilience, and a brighter future for Miami’s global gateway, and proof that we are moving in the right direction.

The reopening of Station 1 concludes a yearlong effort to reinforce and modernize the one-mile system after a 2023 inspection identified areas in need of strengthening. With Stations 2, 3, and 4 reopening earlier this year, the Skytrain is now operating at full capacity with enhanced safety, reliability, and efficiency — ensuring passengers can move comfortably between gates, shops, and services.

The Skytrain’s return is in addition to MIA’s ambitious Future-Ready Modernization in Action (M.I.A.) Plan, a $9 billion capital improvement program that is transforming every corner of the airport. From the new 2,240-space Ibis garage opening in December, to the groundbreaking of the new Concourse K, and the modernization of more than 200 escalators, elevators, and moving walkways over the next five years, the MIA of tomorrow is taking shape today — delivering a world-class passenger experience, empowering the airport workforce, and fueling economic growth across Miami-Dade County and Florida.

Miami International Airport, America’s busiest airport for international freight and the second busiest for international passengers, is receiving an unprecedented investment of $9 billion in capital improvements and maintenance upgrades. MIA offers more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean than any other U.S. airport and is also the leading economic engine for Miami-Dade County and the state of Florida, generating business revenue of $181 billion and approximately 60 percent of all international visitors to Florida annually.
