The new South Terminal is now open and adds 1.7 million square feet to MIA. The North Terminal encompasses more than 3.8 million square feet and its phased completion is scheduled in 2013. The North, Central and South Terminals will have a total of 130 gates, with 106 international capable gates and 24 domestic gates. The Terminal will have 618 ticket counters and currently has 121 self-service check-in devices.

 Cargo: MIA's cargo facilities encompass seventeen (17) cargo buildings with over 2.6 million square feet of warehouse and support space.  Apron space is presently 3.8 million square feet, with 41 common-use cargo positions and 23 leased cargo positions.
 New Cargo Facility - Aeroterm/Centurion: Construction is underway for a new 895,000 square foot air cargo warehouse/office/hangar/storage facility for the Centurion air cargo group of carriers. The new facility will accommodate 8 Boeing 747-400 widebody freighters. The project is scheduled for completion the 2nd quarter 2013.
