The Aviation Department is also required to be audited in accordance with the provisions of the Single Audit Act of 1984 and the U.S. Office of Management and Budget Circular A-133, Audits of States, Local Governments and Non-Profit Organizations, and the Florida single audit act requirement.

Profile Overview The Aviation Department operates as an enterprise fund of Miami-Dade County (the County). An enterprise fund is used to account for the financing of services to the general public on a continuing basis with costs recovered primarily through user charges. The County owns Miami International Airport (MIA or the Airport), three general aviation airports, and one training airport (collectively - “the Airport System”), all of which are operated by the Aviation Department. The County operates the Airport System through the Aviation Department with policy guidance from the Mayor, and the Board of County Commissioners of Miami-Dade County, Florida (the Board). i Economic Conditions and Outlook MIA continues to be an economic engine for Miami-Dade County and the State of Florida. The most recent economic impact study indicated that MIA has an annual financial impact on local tourism, cruise operations, international banking, trade and commerce of $33.7 billion. MIA and aviation-related industries contribute 282,724 jobs directly and indirectly to the South Florida economy, and are responsible for one out of every four jobs. The Airport offers an extensive air service network, enhanced by multiple daily scheduled and non-scheduled flights covering over 150 cities on four continents. MIA’s stronghold market, the Latin America/Caribbean region, was served by more passenger flights from the airport than from any other U.S. airport. MIA is Florida’s busiest airport, and the premier international gateway to Florida, handling nearly 70% of Florida’s total international passenger traffic. MIA is a major transshipment point by air for the Americas. During calendar year 2015, the most recent year for which such information is available, the Airport handled 83% of all air imports and 79% of all air exports between the USA and the Latin American/Caribbean region. The Airport was also the nation’s number one airport in international freight (excluding mail) and second in international passenger traffic during calendar year 2014 (most recent data available). The Airport stimulates a host of industries such as tourism, the cruise industry and international banking and commerce. In terms of trade, the most recent Department of Commerce data showed that the Airport handled 93% of the dollar value of the State’s total air imports and exports, and 37% of the State’s total air and sea trade with the world. Passenger Activity During fiscal year 2015, 43,347,129 passengers travelled through MIA, a 6.1% increase compared to fiscal year 2014. Domestic traffic increased by 8.2% to 22,432,066, or 51.7% of the total. International traffic accounted for 48.3% of the traffic or 20,915,063 passengers, an increase of 4.0% over the prior fiscal year. MIA is ranked second in the U.S. behind New York’s John F. Kennedy Airport for international passengers. The Airport is American Airline’s largest international hub operation, both for international passengers and international cargo. American Airlines accounted for approximately 61% of the enplaned passengers at the Airport during fiscal year 2015, and together with its affiliate, Envoy (previously known as American Eagle), approximately 66% of all enplaned passengers during such period. American combined with Envoy increased 4% fiscal year over fiscal year. Delta Air Lines, which became the second largest carrier at MIA in fiscal year 2010 by surpassing American Eagle at that time continues to represent approximately 6% of the enplaned passenger traffic. Cargo Activity Cargo (mail and freight) tonnage totaled 2,206,307 tons in fiscal year 2015, resulting in an increase of .9%. MIA remains the number one airport in the U.S. for international freight. Cargo activity generates different types of revenues for the Aviation Department including landing fees, cargo warehouse
