In June 1928, Pan American Airways acquired 116 acres of land on NW 36th Street for the purpose of building a privately owned and operated international airport in Miami, Florida. The establishment of a commercial airport and of regularly scheduled international passenger airline service by Pan Am was a transformative event for the City of Miami. By September of 1928, Pan Am had begun to operate regularly scheduled Air Mail service between Miami and Havana. On January 9, 1929, Pan American Airport, also known as Pan American Field, was officially dedicated at a ceremony attended by thousands of residents and celebrities such as Amelia Earhart, who saw in the new airport the promise of a bright new future in international aviation for Miami. It was the first mainland airport in the United States to have international port of entry facilities. The passenger terminal building, designed by Delano & Aldrich of NYC, was the most advanced and luxurious in the country. Three hangars, two on the east and one on the west, provided housing and maintenance facilities for Pan Am's fleet of Sikorsky amphibian and Fokker aircraft.

During the first few years of its operation, from late 1928 until late 1930, it was from this busy airport that Pan American Airways historically pioneered U.S. international passenger aviation, inaugurating regularly scheduled Air Mail and passenger airline service from the U.S. to the West Indies, Caribbean, and Central and South America. In the 1930s Pan American leased space at its airport to Eastern Air Lines. Eastern officially took up residence at the 36th Street Airport in August of 1935.

In 1940, Intercontinent Corporation, owned by William Pawley, built an aircraft manufacturing plant on land acquired immediately east of Pan American Field. The City and County, eager to encourage the growth of an aircraft manufacturing industry in Miami, agreed to finance and build runways and ground facilities at the Intercontinent plant, including an east-west runway that extended from Le Jeune Road as far west as Pan American Field, where it intersected with Pan Am's east-west runway. National Airlines, which had been operating in Miami at Miami's city-owned Municipal Airport since 1937, moved to the 36th Street Airport in 1942. National used a terminal on LeJeune Road, across the street from the airport and would stop traffic on the road in order to taxi aircraft to and from its terminal. Miami Army Airfield opened in 1943 on 1400 acres of land acquired during World War II to the south of Pan American Field. The two airfields were listed in some directories as a single facility.{{cite web|last1=Freeman|first1=Paul|title=Abandoned & Little-Known Airfields: Florida: Central Miami Area|url=https://www.airfieldsfreeman.com/FL/Airfields_FL_Miami_C.htm|access-date=February 5, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160207232834/http://www.airfields-freeman.com/FL/Airfields_FL_Miami_C.htm|archive-date=February 7, 2016|url-status=live}}

Following World War II, the Dade County Port Authority embarked on a long-planned airport expansion in order to meet Miami's increasing commercial aviation needs. On December 31, 1945, a formal agreement between the County and Pan Am transferring ownership of the airport to the County was signed, becoming effective at 1:00 AM on January 1, 1946. Thus ended any distinct identity of Pan American Field. It also acquired Intercontinent's former holdings, which were leased to Eastern Air Lines, and changed the name of the newly expanded airport to Miami International Airport. Pan American's former NW 36th Street terminal building continued to serve as the hub for the new Miami International Airport. Between 1945 and 1950, the Port Authority cobbled together thousands more acres adjacent to and south of the airport, including the Army’s former air base; the Seaboard Air Line Railroad property; and additional parcels, with the intention of meeting Miami’s future aviation needs. The result was a County-owned, Miami International Airport based at NW 36th Street that by 1948 had grown to 2500 acres. The former domed-roofed Pan Am terminal building was extensively remodeled and enlarged, the words “Miami International Airport” now curving across its façade. The new airport was officially dedicated January 4, 1950. United States Air Force Reserve troop carrier and rescue squadrons also operated from the airport from 1949 through 1959, when the last unit relocated to nearby Homestead Air Force Base (now Homestead Air Reserve Base). In the late 1940s, Pan Am and Eastern also expanded their bases at MIA on NW 36th Street, which made the airport the world's largest commercial aircraft maintenance and overhaul facility at the time.{{Cite book |url=https://www.miami-airport.com/library/pdfdoc/MIA%20History%20Book%202020%20small.pdf |title=History of Miami International Airport |publisher=Miami-Dade Aviation Department |year=2020}}

In the 1950s, a continuing boom in post-World War II passenger aviation stretched the county’s expanded airport to capacity. Scheduled airlines had outstripped ships, trains and buses to become the state’s as well as the nation’s largest carriers of interstate and international traffic. Delta had joined Pan Am, Eastern and National to become MIA's "Big Four" carriers and the airport also served a host of smaller scheduled and non-scheduled airlines. A new jet age loomed. Plans for an entirely new airport, to be built from scratch on land south and east of the existing facility were set in motion. On February 1, 1959, after years of planning and construction, Miami's brand-new Miami International Airport was formally inaugurated at 20th Street, on what was dubbed Wilcox Field in honor of the Port Authority attorney who had been instrumental in bringing the project to completion. No longer needed, the former domed-roofed terminal building on NW 36th Street was torn down in November 1962. This part of MIA along NW 36th Street is known today as MIA's north field.

When it was dedicated in 1959, MIA's new 20th Street Terminal was the largest central airport terminal in the world, with five concourses (Concourses C-G) and a 270-room hotel. In 1961, the terminal was expanded with the addition of a sixth concourse (Concourse H) on the south side, which was the first concourse at the airport to include jetways. By 1965, the original five concourses were renovated with jetways added to them.{{cite web |title=Miami International Airport 1959-1980: The first two decades of MIA's 20th Street Terminal. |url=https://golldiecat.tripod.com/mia.html |website=Golldiecat's Airport-Page |access-date=20 November 2024}}

The 20th Street Terminal was expanded in the 1970s. Parking garages were added just east of the terminal and Concourse B opened on the north side of the terminal in 1973 to accommodate the expansion of Eastern Air Lines.{{cite news |last1=Glass |first1=Ian |title=EAL forgets woes at super-duper site |url=https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-miami-news-eal-forgets-woes-at-super/159645519/ |access-date=24 November 2024 |work=The Miami News |date=30 November 1973 |page=4A |via=Newspapers.com}} In 1977, Concourse E's satellite terminal opened. The satellite was originally connected with shuttle buses, though a people mover was built to connect the satellite in 1980.

Nonstop flights to Chicago and Newark started in late 1946, but nonstops didn't reach west beyond St. Louis and New Orleans until January 1962. Nonstop transatlantic flights to Europe began in 1970. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Air Florida had a hub at MIA, with a nonstop flight to London, England which it acquired from National upon the latter's merger with Pan Am. Air Florida ceased operations in 1982 after the crash of Air Florida Flight 90.{{cite book |last=Petzinger|first=Thomas|title=Hard Landing: The Epic Contest For Power and Profits That Plunged the Airlines into Chaos|publisher=Random House|year=1996|isbn=978-0-307-77449-1}} British Airways flew a Concorde SST (supersonic transport) triweekly between Miami and London via Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C., from 1984 to 1991.{{cite news|last=Stieghorst|first=Tom|title=Concorde Flights Cut To Miami|url=http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1991-01-12/business/9101020753_1_british-airways-concorde-flights|access-date=November 29, 2013|newspaper=Sun Sentinel|date=January 12, 1991|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131203005243/http://articles.sun-sentinel.com/1991-01-12/business/9101020753_1_british-airways-concorde-flights|archive-date=December 3, 2013|url-status=dead}}

The terminal was further expanded in the 1980s.

After former Apollo 8 astronaut Frank Borman became president of Eastern Air Lines in 1975, he moved Eastern's headquarters from Rockefeller Center in New York City to Building 16 in the northeast corner of MIA, Eastern's maintenance base. Eastern remained one of the largest employers in the Miami metropolitan area until ongoing labor union unrest, coupled with the airline's acquisition by Texas Air in 1986, ultimately forced the airline into bankruptcy in 1989. Eastern operated out of Concourses B through D on the north side of the terminal, where American's Concourse D stands today.{{Cite web |title=MIA0485 |url=http://www.departedflights.com/MIA0485.html |access-date=September 28, 2022 |website=www.departedflights.com}}{{Cite web |title=MIA89 |url=http://www.departedflights.com/MIA89.html |access-date=September 28, 2022 |website=www.departedflights.com}} Concourse E was the home for most international carriers, while Pan Am operated out of Concourses E and F.{{Cite web |title=PAMIA0591 |url=http://www.departedflights.com/PAMIA0591.html |access-date=September 28, 2022 |website=www.departedflights.com}}

Amid Eastern's turmoil, American Airlines CEO Robert Crandall sought a new hub in order to utilize new aircraft which AA had on order. AA studies indicated that Delta Air Lines would provide strong competition on most routes from Eastern's hub at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport in Atlanta, but that MIA had many key routes only served by Eastern. American Airlines announced that it would establish a base at MIA in August 1988. Lorenzo considered selling Eastern's profitable Latin America routes to AA as part of a Chapter 11 reorganization of Eastern in early 1989 but backed out in a last-ditch effort to rebuild the MIA hub. The effort quickly proved futile, and American Airlines purchased the routes (including the route authority between Miami and London then held by Eastern sister company Continental Airlines) in a liquidation of Eastern which was completed in 1990. Later in the 1990s, American transferred more employees and equipment to MIA from its failed domestic hubs at Nashville, Tennessee, and Raleigh–Durham, North Carolina. The hub grew from 34 daily departures in 1989 to 157 in 1990, 190 in 1992, and a peak of 301 in 1995, including long-haul flights to Europe and South America.{{cite web|url=http://www.departedflights.com/AAMIAhub.html|title=AAMIAhub|website=www.departedflights.com|access-date=July 16, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180716170054/http://www.departedflights.com/AAMIAhub.html|archive-date=July 16, 2018|url-status=live}} Today Miami is American's largest air freight hub and is the main connecting point in the airline's north–south international route network.

Concourse A was built on the northeast side of the terminal in 1995, and Concourse H was rebuilt in 1997. Concourse J was built in August 2007 along with an expansion of the terminal on the south side.

American began the development of the current North Terminal in the 1990s. Concourses B and C were demolished as part of the project with Concourse A becoming the eastern end of the expanded Concourse D. Although the terminal was originally scheduled to be completed in 2004, numerous delays arose in the construction process, and Miami-Dade County took over control of the project in 2005, at which time the project had a budget of $2.85 billion.{{Cite web |date=April 17, 2008 |title=Miami International Airport Says It's Cleaning Up North Terminal Mess |url=https://www.miamitodaynews.com/news/080417/story5.shtml |access-date=September 28, 2022 |website=Miami Today |language=en-US |archive-date=September 28, 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220928155609/https://www.miamitodaynews.com/news/080417/story5.shtml |url-status=live }} The terminal was ultimately completed in 2011 and included Skytrain, an automated people mover system, as well as a wing for American Eagle commuter flights.{{Cite web |title=Miami Int'l Nears Completion of $2.94 Billion North Terminal {{!}} Airport Improvement Magazine |url=https://airportimprovement.com/article/miami-intl-nears-completion-294-billion-north-terminal |access-date=September 28, 2022 |website=airportimprovement.com|date=November 2010 }}

Pan Am was acquired by Delta Air Lines in 1991, but filed for bankruptcy shortly thereafter. Its remaining international routes from Miami to Europe and Latin America were sold to United Airlines for $135 million as part of Pan Am's emergency liquidation that December. United's Latin American hub offered 24 daily departures in the summer of 1992, growing to 36 daily departures to 21 destinations in the summer of 1994, but returned to 24 daily departures in the summer of 1995 and never expanded further.{{cite web|url=http://www.departedflights.com/UAMIAhub.html|title=UAMIAhub|website=www.departedflights.com|access-date=July 16, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180716165756/http://www.departedflights.com/UAMIAhub.html|archive-date=July 16, 2018|url-status=live}} United ended flights from Miami to South America, and shut down its Miami crew base, in May 2004, reallocating most Miami resources to its main hub in O'Hare International Airport in Chicago.{{cite news|title=United Plans Flight, Staff Cuts in Miami|url=http://www.bizjournals.com/southflorida/stories/2004/01/19/daily44.html|newspaper=South Florida Business Journal|date=January 23, 2004|access-date=July 7, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121026121955/http://www.bizjournals.com/southflorida/stories/2004/01/19/daily44.html|archive-date=October 26, 2012|url-status=live}} United ceased all mainline service to Miami in 2005 with the introduction of its low-cost product Ted.

• On July 1, 2002, two America West Airlines pilots operating Flight 556 to Phoenix–Sky Harbor were ordered back to the gate by air traffic control before takeoff after security agents notified supervisors that the men smelled of alcohol and became belligerent when they were told they were not allowed to take an open cup of coffee through the security checkpoint. Breathalyzer tests conducted after their removal from the aircraft revealed that both men had blood alcohol content in excess of the legal limit for operating a vehicle in Florida, and they were arrested by police. Investigators found that the men had been drinking at a local bar until 4:40{{nbsp}}am, roughly six hours before the flight was scheduled to depart. They were fired by the airline the next day, later stripped of their pilot certificates, and convicted in 2005 of operating an aircraft while drunk.{{cite news |last1=Candiotti |first1=Susan |last2=Davis |first2=Patty |title=America West fires pilots accused of drinking |url=https://edition.cnn.com/2002/US/07/02/america.west.dui/index.html |publisher=CNN |date=July 3, 2002 |access-date=May 3, 2025}}{{cite news |agency=The Associated Press |title=Ex-airline pilots guilty of being drunk in cockpit |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna8145656 |publisher=NBC News |date=June 8, 2005 |access-date=May 3, 2025}}
• On December 7, 2005, passenger Rigoberto Alpizar was killed by federal air marshals after frantically exiting an American Airlines flight to Orlando during boarding with a backpack strapped to his chest.

This was the first case of federal air marshals opening fire on a suspect after the September 11 attacks.{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2006/05/25/us/man-killed-by-air-marshals-was-shot-11-times.html |title=Man Killed by Air Marshals Was Shot 11 Times |last=Goodnough |first=Abby |date=May 25, 2006 |work=The New York Times |location=New York City |url-access=limited |access-date=May 4, 2025}}
• On September 15, 2015, Qatar Airways Flight 778 to Doha overran Runway 9 during takeoff and collided with the approach lights for Runway 27. The collision, which went unnoticed during the 13.5-hour flight, tore a {{convert|46|cm|in|order=flip|adj=on}} hole in the pressure vessel of the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft just behind the rear cargo door. The crew was confused by a printout from an onboard computer and erroneously began takeoff on Runway 9 at the intersection of Taxiway T1 rather than at the end of the runway, which trimmed roughly {{convert|1370|m|abbr=on}} from the length of the runway available for takeoff.{{cite news|last1=Hradecky|first1=Simon|title=Accident: Qatar B773 at Miami on September 15th, 2015, overran the runway on takeoff run and struck approach lights on departure|url=http://avherald.com/h?article=48c78b3a|access-date=March 14, 2017|work=Aviation Herald|date=September 17, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150928041009/http://avherald.com/h?article=48c78b3a|archive-date=September 28, 2015|url-status=live}}{{cite report|publisher=Qatar Civil Aviation Authority|title=Preliminary Report 001/2015|date=December 7, 2015|access-date=March 14, 2017|url=http://www.caa.gov.qa/sites/default/files/Preliminary%20report%20QR778%20Miami_v3.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170213125028/http://www.caa.gov.qa/sites/default/files/Preliminary%20report%20QR778%20Miami_v3.pdf|archive-date=February 13, 2017|url-status=dead}}
• On June 21, 2022, RED Air Flight 203, a McDonnell Douglas MD-82 on a flight from Las Américas International Airport, skidded off Runway 9 on landing and collided with a small glideslope equipment building, starting a fire in the right wing which was rapidly extinguished by firefighters. There were no fatalities, while four passengers sustained minor injuries. Crew and passengers reported the aircraft "shaking violently" after a seemingly routine landing, and skid marks on the runway showed that the left main landing gear had shimmied heavily before turning 90° outboard and collapsing. Airline records indicated that the left main landing gear shimmy damper had a history of hydraulic fluid leaks but had passed recent maintenance checks. The accident was attributed to ineffective shimmy dampening of the left main landing gear, but the reason for the poor dampening could not be verified, as damage from the crash "precluded evaluation of whether the damper was properly serviced."{{Cite web |date=April 29, 2024 |title=Aviation Investigation Final Report |url=https://data.ntsb.gov/carol-repgen/api/Aviation/ReportMain/GenerateNewestReport/105298/pdf |access-date=June 2, 2025 |publisher=National Transportation Safety Board |id=DCA22FA132}}
