On December 16, more than 50 representatives from Miami-Dade County’s air cargo community attended the second virtual meeting of the Miami-Dade Aviation Department’s MIAVAC19 Task Force, formed to lead the preparation and coordination of Miami International Airport’s cargo community for the arrival and mass distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine domestically and internationally. After surveying its cargo tenants in September, the task force determined that MIA is home to 368,064 square feet of refrigerated cargo space, including 27,212 square feet solely dedicated to handling pharmaceuticals and vaccines – the most at any U.S. airport in both categories.
