The South Terminal Expansion East (New Concourse K) is one large capital improvement project in a series of many projects that will expand, modernize, and construct new terminals, concourses, ramps, runways, parking structures, restrooms, and a hotel at Miami International Airport (MIA) as part of the $9billion investment made by the Administration. The project expansion will allow MIA to meet the unprecedented increases in demand for air travel and air cargo that have skyrocketed in the past several years reaching almost 56 million passengers and more than 3 million U.S. tons of total freight registered in 2024, and will ensure that MIA retains its status among the top ranked airports in the country and as the Gateway to Latin America and the Caribbean.

Project Key Components:

• New Concourse K & Apron: New 3-level Concourse K designed to accommodate six domestic gates with the potential for future international capabilities.
• Zoned Holdrooms: Modernized zoned holdrooms catering to different passenger needs, from seating arrangements to workstations.
• Baggage Handling System (BHS): BHS modifications within the existing Central and South Terminals, which include the construction of a new crossover and utility modifications to accommodate new baggage conveyors.
• Ground Support Equipment Facility: New 2-Level Ground Support Equipment (GSE) Facility, encompassing office areas, storage, and maintenance spaces for ground operations.
