Looks like it’s just a map with possible routes. It includes PBI as well as FLL.

Will AA bring back MIA-FCO or MXP?

I believe MXP is in their plans.

Let's hope so. This route not being flown by AA post-COVID is a huge hole in the MIA network IMO.

Canada-Florida flying might explode after COVID restrictions are fully gone.

FWIW, Air Canada mainline is back on YYZ/YUL-FLL. I think MIA might still be Rouge, but maybe it's being bumped back up to mainline also soon?

I suspect it will be huge this winter. AC may feel the need to fly wide bodies to both FLL and MIA.

Air Canada has already loaded 4 daily A330s from both YUL & YYZ

I believe the A330s are coming soon (FLL).

AA never flew MIAFCO, but yes absolutely expect MXP to return.

Did Alitalia ever operate MXP-MIA in the early 2010’s?

Yes, 3x weekly to compliment 6w/7w to Rome.

To both MIA and FLL? I know they usually fly wide bodies to FLL but have they been added to MIA too?

MIA is Rouge at moment. But when Rogue at 767s, they used those to MIA.

Would not be surprised to see it switch to mainline. And indeed this winter FLL-YYZ is 4x daily A330 and FLL-YUL is 3x daily A330. I suspect AIr Canada is expecting massive pent up demand.

I saw on fr24.com a 333 headed to FLL yesterday (don't remember if from YYZ or YUL).

I was at FLL yesterday. Saw it land and take off.

Emirates has officially launched MIA. The inaugural flight is en route.

I swung by Juliet to see it;

Also, work is underway on Golf and Delta 11 to replace the old, rusted INET jet bridges with brand new ThyssenKrupp ones, which feature the new BoomAir auto-retract AC hoses. This should make our work on the ramp much easier.

Add Foxtrot 11 and Echo 10 to that list. Seems that all gates at MIA will eventually be upgraded.

Frontier is set to announce another expansion at MIA tomorrow morning.

Spirit to launch four times weekly Miami-Tegucigalpa Palmerola service from November 17, 2021.

Air Canada plans to launch Quebec City-Fort Lauderdale. Four times weekly from November 19, 2021.

Spirit to launch daily Fort Lauderdale-Tegucigalpa Palmerola service from November 17, 2021.

Frontier to launch daily Atlanta-West Palm Beach service from November 1, 2021.

American Eagle's Saturday service to Des Moines and Milwaukee from Miami will operate daily starting November 2nd.

It's great to see Miami become so well-connected to smaller airports in the Midwest and Great Plains.

Canadian demand to Florida this winter is proving to be huge. Did not expect this route. Nice add from AC. Hope it sticks around every winter.

It’s a relaunch actually. Operated years ago by Tango. Air Transat flies from FLL and Sunwing from MIA.

New F9 flights announcement is out. 9 routes out of MIA.

https://thepointsguy.com/news/frontier-airlines-nonstop-flights-miami-aruba/

TAP Air Portugal plans to launch additional flights to MIA. Going from daily to 9 weekly, effective November 2nd.

Nice. I've always enjoyed photographing their planes here at MIA.

MIA Overtakes JFK & LAX To Become Busiest International Airport In 2021 (thus far):

https://www.thenextmiami.com/mia-overta ... t-in-2021/

KLM will unlink Miami and Orlando.

Instead of operating 2w each of AMS-MCO-MIA-AMS and AMS-MIA-MCO-AMS, they will operate 3w each of AMS-MIA-AMS and AMS-MCO-AMS.

Miami relaunches on October 31st.

Interesting that AA has not added MIA-PWM to the winter schedule yet. I wonder if they are going cede that route to F9?

MCO might be a bit tough though as long as the current travel restrictions are in place considering it skews heavily outbound out of AMS, and I'm not sure how much cargo there is to otherwise support the flight. MIA will be easier to sustain, with more cargo opportunities and better balanced 2-way traffic.

Still, I guess things could move in the right direction by the end of October.

I’ve heard rumors Allegiant might be knocking on MIA’s door for a late winter launch in time for spring break.

This would be interesting do you know how early we could here about it ?

MIA is just missing Allegiant and Alaska at the moment and they would have all the major LCCs.

I have no doubt in my mind about them launching MIA in the near future. Heck, maybe even Silver.

Any plans on opening the F concourse soon at MIA? what are they doing in there? changing the flooring and painting walls as they did in G?

Silver would not surprise me either.

Alaska is inevitable although as a frequent AS flyer I would call them full service, def not an LLC. AA is more an LLC than AS.

Fair enough haha.

We can blame Doug Parker for that type of criticism.

Work in progress. No official date.

Didn't Silver fly out of MIA a couple of years ago?

MIA has been trying to lure low-cost carriers for 20 years. It’s finally taking off.

Read more here: https://www.miamiherald.com/news/busine ... rylink=cpy

Avianca will significantly expand Miami service over the coming months. It already recently relaunched both San Jose (last operated in the early 2010s) and San Pedro Sula (last operated around 2018).

It also launch the first ever flights from Miami to both Bucaramanga and Cucuta, in Colombia, as well as launch new flights from Miami to Quito and Guayaquil, and relaunch Miami to Guatemala City (which was operating until pre-COVID, IIRC).
