MIA debuts newest moving walkways in Concourse D
Airport on track to modernize 38 conveyance units in 2025
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.
Thanks to the dedicated team members who work tirelessly around the clock, 95% of these units are now operational—a new record for MIA! Through our Modernization in Action Plan, we are laser-focused on upgrading every elevator, escalator, and moving walkway so that travelers enjoy a smoother, more reliable, and welcoming experience at every step of their journey through MIA.
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.
Miami International Airport, America’s busiest airport for international freight and the second busiest for international passengers, is receiving an unprecedented investment of $14 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 $212 billion and approximately 60 percent of all international visitors to Florida annually.
