Along with Atlanta's Hartsfield International Airport, MIA is one of the largest aerial gateways into the American South, owing to Miami's proximity to tourist attractions, local economic growth, large local Latin American and European populations, and strategic location to handle connecting traffic between North America, Latin America, and Europe. In the past, it has been a hub for Eastern Airlines, Air Florida, the original National Airlines, the original Pan Am, and Iberia.
