Miami International Airport (IATA: MIA, ICAO: KMIA, FAA LID: MIA), also known as Wilcox Field, is the primary airport serving the Miami Metropolitan Area. The airport is located eight miles (13 km) northwest of the central business district of Miami, in unincorporated Miami-Dade County, Florida, United States. It is located between the cities of Miami, Hialeah, Doral, and Miami Springs, the village of Virginia Gardens, and the unincorporated community of Fountainbleau.

The airport is a hub for passenger airlines American Airlines, Executive Airlines under the American Eagle name, Gulfstream International Airlines under the Continental Connection name; cargo airlines Arrow Air, UPS Airlines and FedEx Express; and charter airline Miami Air. Miami International Airport handles flights to cities throughout the Americas and Europe, as well as cargo flights to Asia, and is South Florida's main airport for long-haul international flights. Most low-cost carriers prefer to use Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport and Palm Beach International Airport, due to their lower fees.

Miami is a major gateway between the United States and Latin America, and, along with Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson Airport, is one of the largest aerial gateways into the Southern United States, owing to its proximity to tourist attractions, local economic growth, large local Latin American and European populations, and strategic location to handle connecting traffic between North America, Latin America, and Europe. In the past, it has been a hub for Braniff International Airways, Eastern Air Lines, Air Florida, the original National Airlines, the original Pan Am, United Airlines, and Iberia. Through the first eight months of 2009, the airport ranked second as an international gateway to the United States, behind New York-JFK in New York City and ahead of LAX in Los Angeles. Miami is also the proposed hub of two new start-up airlines, one of which hopes to use the Eastern Airlines name.

In 2008, 34,063,531 passengers traveled through the airport making the airport the 29th busiest airport in the world by passenger traffic. The airport also handled more international cargo than any other airport in the United States.

Ground transportation
Miami International Airport has direct public transport links to Miami-Dade Transit's Metrobus network, free shuttles are also provided to and from the Miami Airport and Hialeah Market Stations on the Tri-Rail commuter rail line. Both stations are close, within a 5 minute drive from the main terminal. The Miami-Dade Aviation Department is currently constructing the MIA Mover, a link to the airport by people mover, to the upcoming Miami Intermodal Center which will open its Rental Car Center (RCC) in April 2010 and provide access to car rentals. Soon to follow will be a new airport Metrorail station, a relocated Tri-Rail station, and an Amtrak station located within the Miami Central Station, scheduled to open in late 2011/early 2012. A consolidated shuttle service will run to-and-from the terminals at MIA and the RCC for approximately two years until the MIA Mover begins service. Once the MIA Mover is in service, car rental desks and shuttles will disappear from the airport's arrivals level.

Taxis, shuttle services, limousines, and rental cars are currently available within the airport. Taxis and shuttles provide flat rates to popular destinations within Miami, such as the beaches or the city center.
