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 to the BCC 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 the airport and labor partners. Commissioner Gilbert III stated he would defer the item if an agreement was not reached. The contract requires the vendor to finance, design, construct, develop, manage, operate, and maintain the lounge, including capital investment and build-out costs. The vendor will compensate the County through annual rent, a guaranteed annual privilege fee, and a percentage of gross revenues. No local firm was identified with the required experience and revenue proposal.
