Miami International Airport Skytrain Fully Reopens After Two Years

Miami International Airport (MIA) has fully reopened its Concourse D Skytrain system, including the return of Station 1, marking the end of a near two-year closure due to structural concerns identified in 2023. The reopening follows a year-long effort to reinforce and modernize the one-mile, $130 million system designed to facilitate efficient passenger movement across the airport’s busiest concourse with 60 gates. Officials, including Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and MIA CEO Ralph Cutié, praised the restoration as a milestone reflecting progress, resilience, and a brighter future for Miami's global gateway. This development is part of MIA's broader $9 billion Future-Ready Modernization in Action plan, which includes improvements such as a new parking garage, construction of Concourse K, and modernization of over 200 escalators, elevators, and moving walkways. The fully operational Skytrain is expected to ease travel for the estimated 900,000 passengers passing through the airport during the Labor Day weekend and beyond. The airport continues to focus on delivering a world-class passenger experience and supporting economic growth in the region.
