The former Pan-Am location at Miami International Airport is to be refashioned into the hub's first private terminal.
To open in 2025, the facility will be operated by PS, a "private luxury terminal service for commercial flights", and will mean "efficiency, safety, privacy, and luxury amenities for the frequent affluent traveller", the airport announced.
"As the nation’s busiest airport for international passengers, with more flights to Latin America and the Caribbean than any other, MIA is an intuitive location for our expansion. We are grateful for the trust placed in us by the Miami-Dade Aviation Department and take seriously our stewardship of this iconic building," said Amina Belouizdad Porter, chief executive.
“We look forward to welcoming PS MIA and seeing the transformation of this historic building. MIA is a world-class airport, so what better location to offer these wonderful world-class services than Pan Am’s former Miami headquarters, the epicenter of the aviation industry’s golden age," said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.
