Miami International Airport (IATA: MIA, ICAO: KMIA, FAA LID: MIA) is located eight miles (13 km) northwest of the central
business district of Miami, in Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. It is between the cities of Miami, Hialeah, Doral,
and Miami Springs, the village of Virginia Gardens, and the community of Fountainbleau. In September 2008, the airport regained its
title as the busiest in Florida.
The airport is a hub for passenger airlines American Airlines, American Eagle, and Executive Air; cargo airlines
Arrow Air, Fine Air, UPS and Federal Express; and charter airline Miami Air. Miami International Airport handles flights
to cities throughout the Americas and Europe, and is South Florida's main airport for long-haul international flights,
although most domestic and low-cost carriers use Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, which charges
significantly lower fees to tenant airlines.
