American Airlines To Invest A Further Billion In Miami

Fort Worth-based carrier, American Airlines, announces an expansion and renovation at its Miami hub. This entails an extension on Concourse D, and the expansion will create 17 new aircraft gates to accommodate larger aircraft and eliminate outside boarding. The project will expand a single shared boarding area to include adjoining boarding spaces for every gate to improve flow and provide customers with more space and comfort. This should also expedite connections and reduce hassle, providing immediate access to the third-floor international arrivals in Miami. This project is going to cost over $1 billion, and should help continue to strengthen American’s dominance over Miami, offering competitive connections to Central/South American and Europe from the United States.
