“Congratulations to our long-time partners at Avianca and TAP Air Portugal on the grand opening of their new lounge,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava. “This new premium amenity is another big step in the airport-wide modernization of MIA, which aims at enhancing the travel experience, attracting global visitors, and strengthening Miami’s position as a premier international gateway.”

“Our first-ever lounge to open outside of Portugal brings a little bit of Portugal to life in Miami,” said Sofia Lufinha, TAP’s Chief Customer Officer. “Here, with all the comforts of a new business class lounge, our guests may also enjoy favorite foods and refreshments, including cheeses and pastries such as pastéis de nata, Portuguese red wine, vinho verde and port wine. It’s all part of TAP’s focus to deliver the most comfortable travel experience for our passengers.”

“At Avianca, we continue to elevate the travel experience for our passengers. This new VIP lounge is just the beginning, in 2025 we will inaugurate two new lounges, launch new routes in Business Class Americas, and present renewed experiences in Insignia. With this investment, we are reinforcing our focus on comfort, convenience, and exceptional service, ensuring that travelers enjoy an unforgettable experience while traveling through one of our most important markets like Miami,” assured Frederico Pedreira, CEO of Avianca”.
