Atlas – the largest cargo operator at MIA, handling more than 500,000 tonnes of freight annually – is relocating to a modern, 250,000 sq ft facility strategically situated along the airport perimeter.
The move will enable Atlas to assume direct control over all warehouse functions and dedicated adjacent aircraft parking spaces, streamlining cargo handling and improving efficiency across its operations.
The expansive new facility includes a 124,000 sq ft perishable cooler warehouse with direct ramp access – the largest on-airport cooler in North America.
Atlas Air Worldwide CEO Michael Steen said: “As the largest freight operator at MIA, this expansion of our operations will add value to our customers globally and position us for continued success. We have unmatched network capabilities to support growing markets and the high-volume trade lanes connecting MIA and South America to Asia and Europe.
“Having dedicated aircraft parking, warehousing and a world-class airside cooler will further enable us to deliver superior services to our customers. This move reaffirms our commitment to Southeast Florida, while creating jobs in the region.”
