Aircraft Detailing at Miami International Airport

Signature Miami lists 24-hour operation, on-site customs and immigration, overnight hangar space for visiting aircraft and controlled ramp access. Next to it, the Miami-Dade Aviation Department runs the General Aviation Center every day of the year, around the clock, with a public lounge and the customs office that clears private, charter and cargo arrivals. FAA data effective 29 October 2026 requires prior permission three hours before any arrival on that ramp and prohibits aircraft with a wingspan over 78 feet from entering it.

MIA has four runways, the longest 13,016 feet, and is attended continuously. Alongside its airline and cargo flights, the NATA and AvAdvisors 2025 table counts 26,851 business-jet movements here, 30th in the country and 3 percent more than in 2024.

At county level, detailing needs its own permit. The aviation department's business permit page, read on 3 November 2026, says anyone who wants to provide aircraft detailing at a Dade County airport "must first obtain the preliminary Solid Waste Annual Operating Permit (IW5 permit) and the Certificate of Use" from the county's Department of Regulatory and Economic Resources. Permits run month to month for up to a year, and a holder may serve only the customers named in its permit.
