Miami International
🇺🇸 Miami · KMIA
American's Latin American gateway with heavy traffic from LATAM, Avianca, and Copa. The complex terminal layout and frequent tropical weather create challenging ground operations. Pilots appreciate the long runways but must manage afternoon thunderstorm buildups and occasional hurricane-related operations. A favorite for crews who enjoy Caribbean and South American routes.
