Miami International Airport

Want to Use Miami International Airport in Your Movie?

Miami International Airport is one airport which aims to accommodate film production outfits which want to use airport facilities in their current movie project as a film location. This is why Miami International Airport has developed specific guidelines for those who will do film location shooting, or even just still photography shots, at the airport. These filming activities require a specific permit and must contact the Special Events Manager, Security and Communications, so that logistics of the filming activities can be organized properly. This is to help the airport assure air travel passengers that their travel needs will not be hampered or obstructed in any way by filming activities. Even student photographers and film students need to secure the proper permit for their class requirements.

Educational Tours at the airport

Another unusual service to the Miami community offered by Miami International Airport is its Educational Tour Program which permits more than 17,000 visitors (including children) to go on a guided tour of the airport facilities every year. The tours, which are conducted by the Customer Service Tour Program, are done at no charge from Monday to Friday. Each tour lasts 2 hours to 2 � hours and covers visits to the Terminal building, Federal Agencies (if permitted at the time), the Fire Department, and even the airfield. For those willing to pay for it, lunch can also be provided to visitors.
