Animal Relief Areas at Miami International Airport

Animal Relief Areas at Miami International Airport
As part of the $2.6 billion Major Capital Improvement Program that will continue through the year 2010 4 Animal Relief Areas have been created at Miami International Airport. MIA is the third largest airport in USA, on 2008 it served 16.1 million passengers; after NY Kennedy (#1) and LA International (#2). On 2008 MIA ranked #1 in International Freight.
Despite the volume of activity the flow at the airport moves very efficiently. The ability to check at the curbside, even for International flights, is a time saver. Another thing I noticed in my last trip is that now Immigration for Residents/US Citizens and Visitors are done in two completely separate areas; the set up looks improvised…I don’t know if it is something temporary or permanent.
As it reads in their web site:
“Miami International Airport’s (MIA) and the General Aviation Airports’ annual economic impact is $26.7 billion. MIA and related aviation industries contribute 282,043 jobs directly and indirectly to the local economy. That equates to one out of 4.1 jobs.”
At MIA there is always something new going on!
