MIA and PS host ribbon-cutting ceremony for airport’s first private terminal inside historic Pan Am headquarters

PS expands to Miami with its first Florida location and 4th worldwide

Officials from Miami-Dade County and PS, the private luxury terminal company reimagining commercial air travel, debuted the PS MIA location today inside the former Pan American Airways headquarters at Miami International Airport. The new terminal, which enables travelers to bypass the traditional airport experience through dedicated private facilities, streamlined security, and highly personalized end-to-end travel services, marks PS’ first location in Florida and fourth outpost worldwide, following the Dallas-Fort Worth opening earlier this month.

“Today’s opening of PS MIA marks a new chapter at MIA for residents and visitors seeking a concierge experience and more convenient way to fly. We are always looking for innovative partnerships that elevate the traveling experience for all MIA passengers, and the revitalization of the Pan Am terminal is especially exciting. I’m proud to welcome PS to our community and applaud their dedication to preserving our aviation history while looking ahead to the future.”

Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava.

Thoughtfully reimagining the landmark 1960s structure, the 34,000 square-foot space preserves elements of Pan Am’s original architecture and interiors while introducing a curated suite of elevated amenities that redefine the travel experience from arrival to departure. The terminal features five Private Suites, The Salon – an elevated social lounge designed for solo and business travelers – and a central open-air courtyard, complemented by spa treatments available upon request. These elements shape two distinct guest experiences: The Salon, an elevated social lounge suited to solo and business travelers, and The Private Suite, which offers fully private, residential-style accommodations designed for discretion and comfort.

Creating a PS terminal within the Pan Am building, home to one of the most influential and iconic airlines in aviation history, is deeply symbolic of our mission to redefine the modern travel experience. Miami was a natural next step for us as the nation’s second-busiest airport for international travelers and a key link to Latin America and the Caribbean, further strengthening our presence in globally connected gateway cities.

Amina Belouizdad Porter, CEO of PS.

Launching later this year, PS Direct will further extend this offering with integrated door-to-door transfers, transporting guests between aircraft and home or hotel. Across every touchpoint, the experience is defined by thoughtful precision, from private BMW chauffeur transfers and chef-prepared dining to discreet coordination led by PS’ Control Room across security, airlines, and agency partners, ensuring a smooth, secure, and highly controlled journey.

PS MIA brings together RJ Heisenbottle Architects and interior designer Cliff Fong to reimagine the iconic property. The design preserves its defining mid-century Brutalist character, recognized as a Miami-Dade County Historic Site, while layering in furnishings and details that subtly reference the Pan Am era. The result is a seamless blend of heritage and modern luxury, offering travelers a sophisticated retreat. The building’s iconic features, including original Pan Am airline insignias, gold paneling, and original reflecting pools, have been carefully restored. The design draws inspiration from Miami’s tropical glamour through terrazzo, marble, smoked glass, and bold patterns. Blending these elements with PS’ signature hospitality, the new terminal offers a refined yet vibrant environment for travelers.
