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.
