CES provided program management and general engineering services for the North Terminal Development (NTD) project, a construction program to join the 11 gates already in operation at Miami International Airport. Thirty-nine additional international and domestic gates opened in phases, for a total of 50 gates. The work included a new 400,000 SF Federal Inspection Services area with 72 service lanes that has the capacity to process3,600 international passengers per hour. To facilitate passenger connections within the new one-mile long terminal, an automated people-mover with four stations was built. The people mover can transport 9,000 passengers per hour. The North Terminal is occupied by American Airlines and its One World Alliance and Code Share airline partners and integrated American Eagle’s operations.
