American Airlines and its Envoy subsidiary contributed to MIA’s post-pandemic recovery and served 31.8 million passengers in 2022, representing 63% of the airport’s total and an increase of one million passengers over 2019 for the airline.

In 2022, MIA also matched its record of 2.7 million tons of cargo set in 2021 by handling 2.2 million tons of international cargo and 500,000 tons of domestic shipments.

“In addition to leading our community’s successful post-pandemic economic recovery, MIA is once again leading the way for the state of Florida as well. Congratulations to the airport team and its partners for surpassing 50 million passengers for the first time in its history,” said Daniella Levine Cava, Miami-Dade County Mayor.
