Miami International Airport (MIA) <\/strong>handled 2.7 million tons of freight in 2021, shattering its previous record of 2.3 million tons in 2020 by 17 percent, for its second consecutive year of growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International freight grew by 17 percent to 2.2 million tons, while domestic freight rose 15 percent to 500,000 tons. MIA continues to rank as the busiest airport in the U.S. and ninth busiest in the world for international freight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MIA\u2019s sustained and robust upward trend in cargo volume spurred two major facility expansions that were completed in 2021. In November, DHL Express completed a $78-million renovation and expansion of its MIA hub. The investment, which includes a state-of-the-art, fully automated package sorting system, nearly doubled the facility\u2019s sorting capacity and warehouse space to 206,000 square feet. To accommodate its growth, DHL Express also expanded its workforce by 70 percent in 2021 to 731 employees at the new facility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In December, FedEx Express completed a $72.2-million, 138,000 square-foot expansion of its hub at MIA, doubling its total facility size to more than 282,000 square feet. The enhancements include a new customs clearance area and a new 70,000 square-foot cold chain facility, the largest in the FedEx global network. The expansion created hundreds of new jobs at the hub for the busy winter holiday shipping season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThanks to the growth and success of our diverse and extensive cargo community in 2021, MIA continued to strengthen its position among the world\u2019s leading cargo airports. Congratulations to all our cargo partners for helping MIA soar to another record year and for supporting our ongoing recovery from the pandemic\u201d, Ralph Cuti\u00e9, MIA Director and CEO said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
