Miami’s 87th International Direct Flight will Be to Doha Qatar
Miami has evolved into a much more multifaceted and cosmopolitan metropolis leaving behind the days when it was nothing else than a vacation resort or winter shelter. Immigration and Urbanization have been key players in making Miami a Global city. In the Greater Miami area, nearly 60% of all sales last year were to buyers from overseas and for sales of newly built condos downtown, that figure jumps to 90%. These figures are a clear indicator of the increasing move of Immigrants as well of the growing interest of international investors in Miami. Airlines are aware of this massive immigration and transit of International visitors to our area and they are adjusting their flights according to the trends they see.

Miami Association of REALTORS® published this article oh how these new international flights will in its turn contribute to the increase of international real estate activity in Miami.
The recent announcement that Qatar Airways will be offering four weekly direct flights between Miami and Doha is yet another sign of Miami's position as a world-class, global city and as a premier destination for international travelers and real estate buyers and investors. Direct flights are an excellent indicator of future real estate buying activity, as buyers are more likely to purchase property in an area if there are direct flights from their home city.
Starting June 1, 2014, passengers can enjoy a direct flight to Qatar, the oil-rich Persian Gulf state, from Miami International Airport (MIA). The airport, the nation's second busiest hub for international flights after New York's JFK with 19.4 million passengers last year, already offers 86 direct flights to destinations around the world.
Eighty-six International Non-Stop Flights
Doha will become Miami International Airport's 87th non-stop international destination and its first direct Middle East flight in five years since El Ai cut its Miami-to-Tel Aviv route in 2008. Of the current 86 non-stop international flights, most of them are to Latin America, serving nearly every major city across Central America, South America, the Caribbean and Mexico. Among the major cities served by Miami International Airport's 25 direct flights to South America are Ecuador, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, and Chile.
Miami International Airport also offers 10 direct flights to and from many Central American cities, including Belize City, Guatemala City, Liberia, Costa Rica, Managua, Panama City, Roatan, San Jose, San Salvador, and Tegucigalpa. Direct flights to Mexico include Merida, Mexico City and Cancun.
