The Miami Dade Aviation Department (MDAD)
continues to enhance passenger experience
at Miami International Airport (MIA) with the
replacement of its existing Satellite E Automated
People Mover (APM) System.
The existing Satellite
E APM, one of three APM systems that service MIA,
has been transporting passengers between MIA’s
Main Terminal Concourse E and the Satellite E facility
since 1980. The replacement work will include new
vehicles, train control, communications, other
supporting System equipment, and modifications to
the existing fixed facilities as required. Lea+Elliott
