Miami International Airport (MIA) has been awarded a combined $94 million in grant funding from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to accelerate critical improvements as part of its landmark Future-Ready Modernization in Action (M.I.A.) maintenance and capital program.
On September 23, the FAA announced a $70 million Airport Improvement Program (AIP) grant for MIA, just one week after the airport received $24 million in Airport Infrastructure Grant (AIG) funding. These back-to-back investments will help fund key projects within MIA’s multi-year, multi-billion-dollar modernization program, which is designed to strengthen infrastructure, enhance passenger experience, and meet the demands of record-breaking travel growth.
The Future-Ready Modernization in Action program is a $9 billion capital improvement plan to transform nearly every corner of MIA over the next decade.
Major initiatives include:
-
Airfield and roadway enhancements: Improving runways, taxiways, and road access to accommodate growing passenger and cargo operations.
-
Terminal modernization and expansion: Upgrading concourses, gates, and passenger boarding bridges to improve efficiency and comfort.
-
Sustainability and resiliency upgrades: Incorporating energy-efficient systems, storm-hardening measures, and renewable energy infrastructure.
-
Parking and mobility improvements: Renovating parking garages and integrating new mobility solutions for seamless access.
