Miami International Airport To Add a New $621 Million Concourse

File this under the category of bigger is better.

Miami International Airport, already one of the largest in the country, is about to get even larger.

Miami Dade-County Aviation is going ahead with plans to expand an existing terminal at the airport with another concourse.

Concourse K will be created and added to the South Terminal in what is estimated as a $621 million project at the airport. A public notice was issued last week for design services.

Miami International competes with Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, which is less than 30 miles away, for competition in the lucrative South Florida market.

The new concourse will be a three-level structure and is said to match the interior and exterior of the existing South Terminal. It will also be able to accommodate three wide-body aircraft, six narrow-body aircraft or a combination thereof.

Larger lounge spaces, which seem to be growing in popularity at airports, will also be part of the project.
