Regularly scheduled passenger flights to Africa, Ireland, and Israel could soon be added at Miami International Airport.
South African Airways is considering connecting MIA to three African cities, TNM has learned. The airline would add a triangular Johannesburg – Cape Town – Miami – Johannesburg route. In addition, a second flight from Johannesburg would fly to Abidjan, Ivory Coast and then on to Miami. The service would require an exemption from Star Alliance, and a meeting between the two sides is scheduled for this month.
To Ireland, Aer Lingus is considering a Dublin-Miami flight. MIA officials traveled to Ireland to meet with the airline in August, but were told that the service likely wouldn’t start until the Summer of 2017.
Airport staff also continue to heavily court El Al, and held discussions with the airline in recent weeks. Traffic between Miami and Tel Aviv has been growing rapidly since 2009 despite the lack of a nonstop flight. Some of that traffic was funneled on American Airlines through Philadelphia, and MIA officials hope that American’s decision to pull out of Israel will bring El Al back to Miami.
KLM has also recently expressed interest in returning on the Amsterdam-Miami route. At the same time, Amsterdam’s airport has been lobbying American Airlines to start the route.

Ik zeg 747-combi. Nu vliegt MP nog bijna dagelijks vracht van/naar MIA, maar dat is komende zomer afgelopen met de verdere halvering van de vloot. En als je ziet hoeveel 'ollanders iedere dag in ATL een overstap naar Florida maken is 1 plus 1 2.
