Atlas Air has announced the opening of its new 250,000-square-foot Atlas Miami Operations Gateway cargo facility at Miami International Airport. The announcement was made on X.

According to GlobeNewswire, this development represents a significant investment in Miami International Airport’s cargo infrastructure. Atlas Air is relocating its entire Miami warehouse operations to this modern facility, which is situated on the airport perimeter and features dedicated aircraft parking for seamless freight movement. This move aims to streamline warehouse functions, enhance turnaround times, and enable Atlas Air to better handle the increasing demands of Miami’s freight market, where the company already processes over 500,000 tons of cargo annually.

DC Velocity reports that the new facility includes a 124,000-square-foot refrigerated cooler, now the largest on-airport perishable storage area in North America. It is specifically designed for time- and temperature-sensitive shipments such as pharmaceuticals and fresh perishables, offering direct ramp access for efficient loading and unloading. The expanded cooler capacity and proximity to Maintenance Repair Overhaul (MRO) providers allow Atlas Air to reduce aircraft downtime, improve reliability, and better support its global cargo network connecting Miami with key markets in South America, Asia, and Europe.
