“No other major U.S. city has more international migration than Miami,” 2024 MIAMI Chairman of the Board Gus Fonte said. “When we look at Germany, Miami and Germany are becoming more connected. Beginning in May 2024, Germany Condor Airlines will begin service between its Frankfurt home base and Miami International Airport. It means MIA will have two airlines serving Frankfurt as German flag carrier Lufthansa already flies the route.”
