MIA PASSENGER LOUNGE

Aviation and Seaport Committee · 2026-06-08 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering the award of Contract No. EVN0002968 for a Passenger Lounge at Miami International Airport (MIA) to AD Partnership, LLC. The projected revenue for the county is $93,800,000.00 over a 15-year term. The lounge will be located on the third floor of Concourse E, above Gate E7, and will offer premium amenities to travelers. 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 labor partners. Commissioner Gilbert III stated he would defer the item if an agreement was not reached. The project involves capital investment and build-out costs by the vendor, including necessary access improvements. The contract is revenue-generating, with the vendor compensating the county through rent, a privilege fee, and a percentage of gross revenues (40%). The vendor, AD Partnership, LLC, is based in Plano, Texas, and no local firm was identified with comparable experience and revenue proposal. The item supports MIA's modernization efforts and aims to enhance passenger experience and non-aeronautical revenue streams.
