Business travel platform Booking.com for Business has named Miami International Airport its third-best U.S. airport for business travelers, after analyzing the world’s 50 busiest airports based on key factors that impact business travelers. Most notably, the study highlighted that, “Car-for-hire availability, paired with MIA’s impressive infrastructure investment program, makes it a standout hub for business travelers seeking easy connections and state-of-the-art facilities.”

The Booking.com for Business ranking comes just two months after J.D. Power named MIA the most-improved mega airport in North America for customer satisfaction.

“I am thrilled that MIA’s ongoing improvements are making a strong impression not only with our passengers, but also with industry experts like Booking.com. In addition to having the busiest airport in Florida and the second busiest in the nation for international passengers, our community can also take pride in having one of the best airports in the country for business travelers,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.

Among the study’s six categories, MIA ranked highest among all U.S. airports for cars available for hire with 563 vehicles, providing “flexible options for reaching the city center for meetings or onward destinations.”

Access to on-site car hire provides business travelers with more flexibility than taxis or transfers, especially when visiting multiple clients or offices during a single trip.  MIA also offers excellent ground transport links, being just 22 minutes from Brickell City Centre and Miami’s financial hub.

MIA also earned praise in the study for providing 196 nonstop routes, 38% of which are business-class routes, “offering business travel passengers more flexibility and options to rebook flights if they need to, due to any travel disruption or last-minute schedule changes.”

“What’s more, a $9 billion modernization program titled ‘Future Ready’ is already improving terminal efficiency, TSA processing, and boarding times. With airport-wide upgrades like this underway, MIA is set to improve passenger experience across both leisure and business travel even further,” reported Booking.com for Business.
