Miami Executive Airport

Opening on November 18, 1967, it replaced Tamiami Airport, next to the Tamiami Trail. The tremendous growth of the surrounding area and the nearby flight path to Miami International Airport had forced the move to the southwest, near the community of Kendall. A request for $1-million was added to the 2007 Miami-Dade Federal Legislative Package to extend runway 9R/27L to enable aircraft to increase their fuel and/or cargo load and to accommodate nearly 100% of midsize aircraft during wet runway conditions.

Located just 15 minutes from the business centers of South Miami-Dade County.

● It is ranked #1 in International Freight, #2 in International Passengers, and #3 in Total Cargo amongst US airports.
● In 2020, the airport welcomed 11.3 million domestic travelers and 7.4 million international travelers.
● The airport is home to a number of full-service FBOs, FAA 141 flight schools, FAA 145 maintenance repair stations, law enforcement and medical aviation units, an award-winning FAA-staffed control tower, and the Miami Automated International flight service station.
