Today, Miami International Airport reopened its newest pair of renovated moving walkways at the beginning of Concourse D, marking the 23rd modernization of a moving walkway, elevator, or escalator at MIA so far this year, thanks to the airport’s $9 billion Modernization in Action (M.I.A.) Plan.
Fifteen more conveyance units are on schedule for completion by the end of 2025, putting the airport on track for 38 new and improved units this year to easily set a new annual record for the modernization program. MIA replaced and renovated 32 conveyance units in 2023 and 2024 combined, which means that it is on pace to more than double its completion rate this year.
In addition to replacing more than 200 escalators, elevators, and moving walkways, the M.I.A. Plan is transforming every touchpoint of the passenger journey over the next five years, including major projects like renovating nearly 200 public restrooms; upgrading 75% of the airport’s passenger boarding bridges; opening the new 2,240-space Ibis garage in December; and completing the new Concourse K in 2029.
