Since its creation in March, the Miami-Dade County Aviation Department’s consulting business has been contacted by five foreign entities that have inquired about its services, the department said.
The MIA Business Ventures Program – a consulting services corporation – was created so the Aviation Department, which manages Miami International Airport, can sell airport-related advice to raise money for Miami International’s operations.
The program’s first job came in April, when it coordinated training in explosive detection practices for Port Au Prince’s Toussaint Louverture International Airport in Haiti in cooperation with the US State Department and the Miami-Dade Police Department.
MIA Business Ventures also was contacted recently by an entity seeking training and support for its bid to operate concessions at Chennai International Airport in India, which served more than 13 million passengers last year.
Another inquiry came from a bidder for the concession contract at Barranquilla’s Ernesto Cortissoz International Airport in Colombia.
