About Miami Air International:
Miami Air International was a US airline that offered global charter flights. The airline was based at Miami International Airport (MIA) and flew both domestic and international routes. As a charter airline, it didn't have any set destinations that it flew to but commonly flew around and out of the US.
Miami Air International was best known for transporting professional and college-level sports teams, government and military officials, entertainers and on the behalf of cruise operators.
The airline was founded in 1990 and for 30 years prided itself in offering a luxury flight experience that was entirely tailored to the needs of its passengers. To start with, the airline usually only flew out of Miami but as it grew and became more popular in the US, it expanded to fly all over the country. By the time it ceased operations, Miami Air International had grown in popularity enough to fly all around the world. The airline could be used to fly between practically any two destinations in the world, both inside and outside of North America.
Miami Air International offered total flexibility on their flights and could provide a service that met any demands. One of the best examples of this is its customisable seating configuration — the airline had various different seating combinations that it could customise depending on what its passengers wanted. On each plane, the airline held 68 First Class seats and 168 luxury Economy Class seats and passengers could request several different layouts for their seats.
The airline achieved some impressive accomplishments in its time of flying. Most notably, it flew 4,000 soldiers of the US military out to the Middle East in a single day. And, more recently, it became the first airline in the US to transport passengers with COVID-19 as an air ambulance.
Miami Air International ceased operations in March 2020 after it filed for bankruptcy. Although it stopped flying during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic, the airline's bankruptcy is not thought to be directly caused by the pandemic.

Hub Airport
Miami International Airport
Miami International Airport (MIA) is the main international airport in Miami, Florida and was the hub airport for Miami Air International. The airline used Miami International as its main hub for the entire time that it flew. The airline originally flew out of Miami International exclusively, however, as it grew as a charter airline, the airline flew from and between various other airports and didn't use Miami airport towards the end of its run as much as it did at the beginning.
The only other airline that uses Miami International as a hub at the moment is American Airlines. Although, there are plenty of other airlines that fly to/from the airport, including Aruba Airlines, American Airlines, Delta, Southwest, Sun Country and many more.
