Miami, FL – April 30, 2021 – On Friday morning, Miami-Dade County Mayor Daniella Levine Cava and Miami International Airport (MIA) Director and CEO Lester Sola visited Josh’s Premium Meats, a small business here in Miami beloved by locals and celebrities alike for their high-quality and delicious meat products.
As one of the busiest airports in the country for passengers and cargo, MIA continues to serve as a pivotal tool for businesses, both small and large, to transport their goods, including perishable products like meat. Josh receives his premium meats primarily from flights to South Florida by Southwest Airlines. Last November, Southwest expanded their commercial and cargo operations from Fort Lauderdale to MIA, making it much easier for businesses such as JPM to get their deliveries, and for commercial flyers to travel as well. During her visit, Mayor Cava was able to witness firsthand how these new routes have positively impacted the small business community here in Miami and celebrate the expansion of Southwest Airlines to MIA.
