This article is from a “lost luggage†point of view when a wheelchair goes missing. But for many of us, it could be a horror story.
Miami International Airport will begin installing wheelchair lifts on its jet bridges next week, in a move aimed at improving accessibility for passengers with reduced mobility.
The first phase of the rollout will cover 41 gates across all three terminals. The new technology will streamline the boarding process for travelers who use wheelchairs and is part of a broader $9 billion modernization plan called Future-Ready MIA.
“These upgrades are about building an airport that works for everyone,†said Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava, who called the initiative a reflection of the region’s values of inclusion and innovation.
Beyond the lifts, the airport plans to replace 94 of its 126 jet bridges by 2028. Renovations will also upgrade more than 200 public restrooms and over 600 conveyances like elevators and escalators.
American Airlines, MIA’s largest operator, supports the improvements, which are expected to ease congestion at one of the nation’s busiest hubs.
Though some facilities will temporarily close during construction, airport officials say the end result will be a more efficient, inclusive experience for the 55 million passengers Miami serves each year.
