Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering the approval of a competitive revenue-generating contract (Contract No. EVN0002968) for the development, operation, and management of a premium passenger lounge at Miami International Airport (MIA). The contract is proposed to be awarded to AD Partnership, LLC, with projected revenues of $93,800,000.00 over a 15-year term. The lounge, to be located on the third floor of Concourse E, above Gate E7, will offer premium seating, food and beverage services, Wi-Fi, and business amenities. The vendor will be responsible for all capital investment, build-out costs, staffing, maintenance, and operations. The Aviation and Seaport Committee forwarded the resolution with a favorable recommendation. During the committee meeting, discussions included the applicant's amenability to a labor peace agreement, with the applicant confirming willingness to work with airport and labor partners. Commissioner Gilbert III stated he would ensure all requirements are met and would defer the item if an agreement was not reached. The contract award is intended to enhance MIA's modernization efforts and passenger experience.
